Reflection essay
In the beginning of this class I had my doubts, I was unsure, confused, and discouraged. I
decided to take it anyway. This would be my second time taking English 1301, you would think I
would have learned my lesson and go to the physical campus to take English the second time
around. The first time I took English I learned absolutely nothing I wrote so many papers and
read a full book and I finished that class with a bad grade and no confidence. I can definitely say
this class was different, very different I enjoyed every assignment. If this is your first or even
your second time taking English 1301 do not be discouraged every class is different, it all
depends on the Professor. If you are not a great writer

them, I panicked even more when I couldn’t find the book we needed for this class I didn’t want
to make the same mistake as the last time. I ordered my book late and our first essay was due
within the second week. All I needed to do was relax and stop overthinking everything, I thought
to myself maybe this class isn’t as bad as the first English class I took.
After opening the first assignment folder and seeing that it really wasn’t so much work it
was actually videos and articles of what we will be learning that week I felt relieved, the first
folder was actually nice. I was able to see who I was as a writer and actually sit down and see
what needs more work I also wrote about my MBTI, I found out I was a big procrastinator and
that helped me figure out many things. Also for that week for the first time I participated in a
group discussion, I was able to read my classmates different MBTI and how they are as

It was just like being in a physical class!
I completed 5 folder assignments, 3 journals before actually writing our first essays
by this time I really did feel confident I actually learned something, unlike the first English class
I had to read a few chapters and write about the book which to me was useless, because I still
didn’t know how to write a MLA paper I guess we were suppose to just know. Also how was I
suppose to know how to write different styles of writing if we continuesly wrote about the book.
In Professor Shani Subers class I actually learned how to write different styles of essays and how
to properly write an MLA paper. In this class you actually write a journal first, pretty much a
rough draft and you submit it for a grade, not in every class you get to do this. This is what
helped me get better grades on my essays because then I know what I need to work on. In other
classes you do your rough draft, but you do not get to submit it. You check your work yourself
and most of the time you miss the mistakes you made or sometimes you’re unaware that you
made a mistake in the first
From the beginning, the first writing project assigned in class, a proposal, exposed to me the essential tools a writer needs to connect to the proper audience and defend my stance on the reform proposed. Overall, the course not only stressed the importance of drafts, but of peer review and instructor feedback as well; therefore, strengthening my knowledge
In the beginning of this semester, English 1302 seemed as though it would be the subject that would be the toughest for me to pass. The pace, the work load and everything in between seemed overwhelming for me. As time proceeded to pass, the course didn’t seem as overpowering. By taking the work one step at a time, it simply became another step to achieve the overall goal of this first half of the semester. I have made improvements as well as learned lessons from my mistakes made along the way.

As a student, I have learned many different skills that I will take with me throughout my journey from this course. We have traversed many different types of writing styles, which any college student, or any person for that
For my Final Reflection Essay I attempted to focus on the most obvious adjustments I made from writing high school papers to producing college level essays. This approach compelled me to examine a few of the papers I submitted in high school and look back on the steps I took to write them. By reviewing my previous work I realized that during Dr. Kennedys English 111 class I have effectively learned how to apply an outline, utilize research, and incorporate that research into my final paper. English 111 has helped me to understand the importance of the multiple steps of writing a great college level essay by forcing me to complete each step individually. My overall performance in this class has been above average and I have really demonstrated dedication to improvement.
My sixteen week class in English 111. I was really nervous about this class. Because English has never been my strong point. This class has hard, but fun all at the same time. I learn a lot from this class. Meanwhile,the first day of class you handed a paper with a question on it. “The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you must not think of being here to receive an education; instead, you will do much better to think of being here to claim one.” Even though putting my all in what I have learned, claiming my education with hard work because using the skills of the meal plan, as we write to different audiences and learning to be a Critically thinker as I start becoming a critically-Literate Citizenship.
This week I was better prepared then last week. I was able to post all of my discussions and respond by the due dates posted. Can’t believe that we are halfway through the term already. I’m looking forward to next week. I have even gotten started on paper 2 early. Have a Happy Easter!

This week was very exciting in terms of my informational interviews and being able to work security at a music event. The informational interviews not only helped being the classroom to the real world but also provided me with real examples to better strengthen the connection. I also learned a lot in terms of dealing with the public in a busy environment and how to most successfully defuse a situation in which alcohol and attitudes are involved.

I was very skeptical and cautious about the lesson on meditation. A few years back I had taken a course on relaxation, which I had found to be only somewhat helpful. I was hoping to find another alternative to calm myself and release the stress. Although I became disbelieving of meditation-I was proved wrong.
I should receive a passing grade in this class because I can write now. Not just an exaggeration, but after another semester of English I finally feel confident that can write. Three of the reasons behind my confidence is I learned, I experienced and best of all I repeated. These three values helped prepare me for what is in store in English 1302 and here is why.
...at previously, sometimes in the midst of a discussion, people forget that there are two sides of a story and not everyone has to agree to yours. What we learn from our books or our studies is not what is necessarily important. What we learn from our peers and our professors is what’s important. Learning is more than absorbing fact, it is acquiring understanding, and it is being passionate about the material you are given. Each piece that we have read in class, and each comment that we make impacts a person no matter how little it seems. The education systems focuses too much about effective methods of teaching and not enough about effective methods of learning. However, this course felt like we were learning something instead trying to finish the curriculum. As Albert Einstein once said, “education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think”.
