Recommended: What are the advantages of studying an undergraduate degree

What can people learn from study in university? Most of people will say: of cause, the knowledge. I would say that people can learn a lot from taking university not just knowledge. University is a wonderful place. People do not need worry each trying to cheat. People can make friends with everybody whom they want and they could study a lot of knowledge without worry the correctness. The most important point is people could get experience from study. My English 101 class in this semester is an epitome of those advantages for taking university. As a freshman to study aboard, language is the most challenge for everyman. The same to me, when I took the first class in the U.S, I felt the condition was out of my control. Especially, in writing section, I had even no idea to begin. The experience of writing in Chinese was a little bit useful. I was confused while writing is a main point in my major. Before my university career, in order to adapt new language environment, my advisor recommended me to take English Second Language lesson. Indeed, I learned too much from the ESL. My vocabulary and spoken skill was promoted. However, writing was still a block for me. Except for grammar and spell error, my professor said he don’t understand the main point of my paper. He gave me a lot of suggestion but they don’t make me sense. English 101 is a most suitable class for me. It provides the opportunity to make up deficiency in my English. I develop a habit that writing an outline before I begin. That is significant to guarantee my easy be more understandable for reader. I start to think how I should arrange my paper construction. Even though my writing skill is not great enough, but my paper is already able to express what I want to express an... ... middle of paper ... ...s, I get more experience with how to get along with native classmate. To sum up, this English 101 class really teaches me a lot, it include every aspect, teaches me how to reading, how to writing, how to communicate. This class like a treasure box, you can get everything about English from this class. Also, all of my classmates are really friendly and helpful, they do not mind my English is bad, they still communicate with me. They do not mind I bother them and use their time to help me. Professor Cochran is nice and kind person, because my English is bad, something he said to the class is not making sense to me, I have to ask him after class. He also helps me much with my essay, and every time I send email to him, he will answer me really fast. This class is awesome, I love this class. I hope in the future every class I take could teach me a lot like this class.

    ...out homework, which was a huge stress relief. The class also offered how to write the base foundation of any paper, which is significant to become a great writer as well as to write a flawless paper. Also, the group activities allowed us to get closer with our classmates. However, I feel like some of the activities we did were mediocre and ordinary. But it is hard to tell what experience each student received from their high school. Some knew more than others, and I was just more grateful with the education I obtained from high school. I was also not fond of buying the books for the class, when it was not a necessity for class. We did not put much use into the books, and they were relatively expensive. I do recommend the class, especially to incoming freshman. It is a great foundation for legitimate college writing classes. I enjoyed learning from you Mrs. Penwell.

    “We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.” People go through their whole lives trying to figure out who they are, look for a sense of purpose or belonging, or attempt to discover the right path for them-self. The lucky ones have somehow found what ever it is they were looking for throughout their journey. They try to teach the people who are still looking how to find their way but often fail because it is not up to them where or how someone else should live their life. It is up to the individual himself to find fulfillment.

  • What I Learned this Semester about Myself as a Writer

    977 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 101 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. This was my first college writing course and it has given me much more freedom when writing because in high school I felt limited and like what we were writing was not very important. In high school I would write essays to just to fulfill the required word or page count and to a degree I still feel like this but maybe that is why I am an engineering major but in this course I actually was able to express my ideas and for the first time really test the limits of my writing capabilities. I really enjoyed being able to incorporate my voice more in my essays and I believe that I developed my own personal style a bit from this. At the beginning of the semester my writing was quite choppy and there was plenty of room for improvement in the overall flow of my essays. Now, I use several different tactics such as outlining to create better connections between paragraphs. I believe I was able to move beyond many of the high school ways of writing and make general improvements to my essays.

    ...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.
