Final Reflection Essay Portfolio
Participation
During the course of this min-mester I have attended class 90% of the time needed or asked by my professor. The other 10% that I was unable to attain class was due to the fact that life its self cannot be avoided no matter how hard on tries.
As far as my Active Engagement during this course I would say I did great. Putting forth the effort to social engage in the class as well as engage in groups to successfully gather the information the professor Dr. Kennedy was giving the students and I with the outcome of the progress my writing has come.
Being prepared for this course was also a successful experience, buying the required books for the course and having a laptop in order to work on and …show more content…

Being in class 100% would have benefited me more than 90% did.
During the course of my next English class I will follow with what I have done thus far, I will take what Dr. Kennedy has thought me such as, KIA and the Meal Plan and imply both in my writing from this moment on. With what Dr. Kennedy has shown me with both KIA, and The Meal Plan I believe it has changed my writing for the better. With well-developed essays and even less than that well developed paragraphs and I am grateful for the chance to have learned these exercises from Dr. …show more content…

Kennedys teaching methods it was a change that was able to be made. With practice and websites I did make the transition in to the writer I am now, but before I show that example let me just explain it was not at all easy. When one is used to doing something or even thinking they are doing it correctly it becomes effortless like it is trained in your mind and it just happens. The first struggle was noticing when I made the mistake I was already half way there because I knew I was making one. Then it was discovering why I was making it. It is hard to change what one is doing if they do not know why they are doing it. Being confused with when and where to place commas or if it is a complete sentence is what my struggle was.

  • What I Learned In My First College English Class

    610 Words  | 2 Pages

    My first college English class was ENC 1101 at the State College of Florida. In this course, I learned a vast amount of information about writing, reading, and grammar. When I first walked into ENC 1101 in August, I expected the class to be like any other English class in High School; with rushed busy work and a lot of useless tests and quizzes. However, throughout each week of the semester, Professor Knutsen’s class made me beg to differ. This class was not like any other high school English class. In this class I actually learned important information and did not do work just to complete it. This class had a few assignments here and there, enough to maintain, in order to learn proper information. I learned a lot in this class because I was not rushed to

    As we approached the due date for the first essay assignment, the professor asked us to share our introduction paragraph aloud to the class. Since I barely knew any of my peers, I found the aspect of participation terrifying at first. However after becoming familiar with my surroundings and fellow mates, I felt at ease sharing what I my thoughts and receiving positive feedback.

  • Positive and Negative Feedback: Shaping My Writing Skills

    809 Words  | 2 Pages

    This class made me face the repeated mistakes of laziness in my techniques, and created an importance to write what really needs to be said and nothing less. I had a very tough and intelligent teacher for my class in which he would not let laziness or anything but perfect slide. At first I was frustrated and lost, but after relearning how to write properly with actually needed content, I understand and appreciate his teaching. My teacher never forgot to call out any “fillers” I used out of bad habit and carelessness, in doing so changed the quality of the content that I write. Also pointing out the bad structure and overall messiness of my ideas and how they relate to one another, I gained valuable lessons on technique. I now write with purpose and intent with every sentence and within the structure of my papers, as well as spend more time understanding what I am really trying to say and prove. Without taking that AP English course and learning through my teacher that I once thought was too hard on his students, I wouldn’t be prepared for college or life in general. My knowledge now, that what you write should always be necessary to your point and how you write matters, I have reformed skills that will influence my resumes, college education, and even my career. I couldn’t be more grateful for what I learned and changed in that class and that I

    ...larify the structure and destination in which I was headed. By revising my essays I was able to make the content and message seem more important and made the final drafts seem a slight degree better than the originals, but the finals were better nonetheless. The instructor did a very good job in guiding me and helping find my way into writing by focusing on some of the problems I was facing and clarified them so that I would better understand them. The instructor helped me expand on my grammatical by helping me discover what it was that I lacked while constructing basic sentence structure; the usage of commas and semi-colons, quotations, and how to sight titles of books and articles within an essay. This English 101 course I have attended has helped me develop better writing skills as well as helped me create more profound essays and a very satisfying research paper.

    Before entering this class, I thought I was prepared for college English. I had incredibly capable high school English teachers, who taught me detailed mechanics, creative writing style, and of course, the necessity of practicing good grammar. On entering this class, I quickly realized how little I had actually learned in my high school English classes. While most of my high school English essays I wrote were based on literature, the majority of the essays I wrote in this class have been more experiential and centered on real-life issues. I expected to be writing essays on books I read and articles I analyzed, but that was not the case. This class showed me in a variety of ways that things are often very different than they seem originally
