Many students question themselves of what they might learn from taking an English class. If they will understand the material or if what they learn in class will be used later in their lives. Gaining something out of a class is what matters the most or why else would a student take that class in the first place. Through my observations and experiences if someone were to ask me what I learned in English 101, I would say that I have improved as a student overall. Taking English 101 has helped me to become a more specialized writer, a more studious student, and a person who is more minded person. First and foremost, English professor has taught me to be a specialized writer in many categories of writing. Such as
English 111 has made a positive impact on me as a student. I have learned a lot in English considering the short amount of time I have spent in the class. English has always been one of my strong points, but I have always looked to find ways to improve my English skills. During the class I learned several new techniques and skills to improve myself as a student. I am glad I had a smart professor to help guide me along the way.
Starting this year, I thought English 102 was just going to be another general education requirement I needed to have in order to graduate. English has never been my favorite subject, so I guess it is safe to say that I was not super excited about this class. However, this class turned out to be different then I thought. It turned out to be more useful then I originally thought. English 102 was both helpful and fairly simple because of what what I learned, the effort I put in and how prepared I was.
I learned many new things from English 1102 class. It was not much fun but I learned some interesting things. For my research, I needed a topic that interests me. I first started to search topics from the chemistry field. I could not find any interesting topics then I came across an article that talks about how robots will take our jobs and every one would be jobless. After reading that article, I was really convinced that robots were bad for human society and people should be focusing on improving other fields such as medicine than wasting time and money in inventing a robot, which is one type of luxury and that, will take our jobs. So I chose this topic for my research. For further discussions, I started searching for some more article about robots not good for human society and I found that there was not much about the negative impact of robots in human society other than taking human jobs. So I was stuck but then I found an article that supports the robots. It was a good article and it explains how robots are useful in human society. The Article says that robots will create new jobs and benefit employers, government and disable people. I also found in one article saying that if robots will do our jobs humans can focus on bigger problems like finding cures for diseases, finding solution to prevent natural disasters and many more. Therefore, I decided to support the robot’s positive impact rather than supporting
In English 102 I would consider it to be the best writing experience of my life. There would be times where I would say that it was the most struggling class I ever had with my grammar and word choices. I would always have to prove my self to Professor Hohmann who is are an English professor at CAC (Central Arizona College) That I can write professionally as a student. I would have six assignments in the English course to prove myself that I can write as good as a college student. The tasks that were given to me for grades were beneficial for other classes and in life. One of the assignments where the research paper for the topic that I liked of which that there needed to be two sides. Another task that helped me out with my writing was the
For me, being a part of the year 8 enhanced English class would be a great learning opportunity. Digging deeper and pushing myself to the limit, to strive for excellence and receive good results. At the moment, I feel my writing is in a steady and solid place, but being a part of the enhanced English program will expand my knowledge and writing, to another level of sophistication, maturity, vividity and develop my vocabulary to a higher level.
It does this in two ways. First, it offers writing help and second it is an easy way to bring up your grade in English. Firstly, the writing class offers help. If the student has biology paragraphs due tomorrow the writing class could help the writing not only be efficient but clear as well. It will teach the student everything needed to write successfully. This means that they will write better and turn in better work for that. This all leads to get better grades in that subject. Secondly, this class is an easy boost for english. All there is to do in this class is to correct work from the english class taught by the same teacher. If the student takes constructive criticism and corrects the work, they can easily get good grades. If this class is 25% of the english grade that means even a failing student can get a 100% in english. However, they must be passing the writing class with an A at least. The writing class boosts academic
The reason I decided to take English 102 this fall semester is because it is a required course for my career path. I am currently pursuing a nursing degree and one of the many required classes that must be completed prior to achieving my goal is this English course. This English class is primarily a requirement for school but I hope to obtain new knowledge as well. What I hope to gain from taking this course is a better understanding of how to write correctly, to be grammatically correct that is. Also, I hope to learn from others by taking this course, not only the instructor but my fellow students. I want to step out of my comfort zone and not be so timid, so that I am able to understand how others think and comprehend this subject. As of right now I have no set expectations for this course, I only hope that it is new information and that it gives me a better understanding of how I need to write and think as far as English goes.
The teacher who has had the most impact on me was my English 101 teacher. After high school, I went straight to college and took English 101 as one of my first classes. I came from a very good school and was extremely confident in my writing abilities. I had a fixed mindset about my abilities but not in the traditional way. I was convinced that I couldn’t be better. After hammering out a paper in a couple of days, turning it in with pride then continuing on with daily life, I received my paper, with a C! I couldn’t believe it I never got C’s on my work, ever. I went through a lot of stages of denial. I thought it was a mistake, or maybe the teacher had a personal grudge against
English isn't one of my favorite subjects, but it was interesting to learn much more about English through this course. This course, overall, taught me about how to organize my ideas and the importance of clicking the button that checks one's spelling on the paper. Even though, I improved throughout my time in this course in my organization and expressing my ideas. I still have some mistakes to improve on in my writing. English 101 showed the importance of writing and the ability to express my ideas throughout my academic career.
The first year of high school was especially challenging since it was the first time I experienced an American high school. My English was not good at all and the system resulted confusing for me. Regardless the difficulties I did especial efforts to improve my English. My grades are proof of such effort since my academic performance improved from an average grade of b to an average of solid
I am writing to you in regards that you want to know more about me. You have taught me ELA in the past two years, in grade nine first semester, and also in grade ten ELA advanced placement in semester one. My skills in English has improved since I moved to Canada three years ago. In Nigeria, I was taught how to write a paragraph differently from what it is in Canada, and this makes it difficult for me to write up to the Canadian standard.
I have only been attending Cleveland State University for two semesters, and as this course comes to an end I feel like I grown and learned many techniques more than ever. I came to Cleveland State University with only my high school knowledge on how to format an argumentative essay, and throughout this course I now know how to write and format many other papers. Taking English 100 has taught me how to break down and analyze an article, it taught me how to find confidence in my work, and it helped me grow to an even better writer.
One may ask “Why do we have to attend English classes when we can already speak and write?” Well, the reason is to master the skills of writing a good argument, which we expect to learn in English classes. In our lives, everything we do comes with reasons, so that we can justify our actions. This applies to different genres of literature as well; in the ghost stories genre, authors attempt to scare, teach moral lessons or entertain through their writings. Even each ghost story has its own significant purpose. In the ghost story, “The Open Window”, Saki deliberately replaces ghosts with a human character who manipulates truths in order to prove the ultimate danger of the unpredictability of human behavior.
Since I was a young child, my parents have been communicating with me in English. They have always encouraged me to study, especially with new languages. I have learned to speak three languages from my childhood. I realize that I can develop these three languages at the same time, but English, I find it very necessary. Therefore, I have decided to develop English as my first choice. In developing my English skills, I have used three simple steps.
I have never really paid attention to certain languages or how people talk, until last year in my senior english class. My English teacher's name was Ms.Gibbons, she was short with short brown hair, and skin as white as a ghost.Her classroom was at the very end of a long hallway, tables sit up in a U shape with chairs all around them,blueish carpet, white walls with english signs everywhere, one row of computers across from the 9 windows, a smart board at the front of the room, and also her brown desk at the front of the room. My class was going to start a new subject on dialect. One of the assignments were to take a test on the internet. The test had many different objects, animals, food, etc, I had to answer the question with whatever I called the object it showed. The results of the test guessed what state I were from based on what I called these objects. Odd how one little test can guess where you're living by the way you talk or call things. Different languages came to my attention by the way people call objects different things, people's accents, and the way people pronounce things.
