English 1101: What I Learned In My Class

Improved Essays
Throughout this course I have learned quite a bit, and considering that this is the second time I am taking this course, that is saying something. However, I did show up for this semester a lot more than I did in my previous semester so that’s probably a contributing factor. I also believe that I paid attention far more this semester than I did the last time I took this course. English 1101 has actually been one of my favorite courses I have taken at SRTC. Perhaps that’s why I’m taking it a second time.
I have always enjoyed reading and writing, in fact, when I was younger I was determined to become a writer. I have a way with words that just comes naturally and easily to me. I have always been like that, and even in the third grade, I was

    For this assignment I decided to interview my English 111 professor; Michelle Christensen. I chose her because she is the type of person I want to be when I grow up. She is very outgoing, advanced and passionate about her work. She considers her leadership style to be similar to that of a transformational leader, who revolves around collaboration with students and working in reciprocity to one another. Throughout this interview, I not only learnt about a new leadership style, but I learnt a lot about my professor.…

    How would one describe the normal student? Solely base it off of the student’s physical features and life styles, or the student’s political stand point? In a class survey, the results showed that a normal student in an English 1102 class at Valdosta State University is a first year student between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one that lives in Georgia and believes college is very important. The surveys were split up into three or so categories. One being the Student’s Lifestyle, the second is all about College, Demographics, and Technology, and lastly, it was about Politics and Sex, Dating, and Relationships.…

    English 1101 has been very helpful so far. I have learned that I definitely have things to work on while writing formal papers. I also have learned that I should take extra time when looking over my papers before hitting the submit button. I think the biggest challenge really is working full time and going to school full time. I think it is difficult to balance the amount of school work I have to with the time that I have when I am not at work.…

    As I grew older, I started to dislike reading because it just seemed boring to me to read the books or novels we had to read in school. Although, I did enjoy to read my own personal books that I checked out from the library, reading was just something I didn’t have much interest for as I did for writing. I greatly enjoyed writing. Most of the writing I have done, whether it be academic or informal, has always had a touch of a personal experience and emotion. I have loved the feeling of calculating thoughts and getting them down on paper.…

    I have learned so much in English 1011, but there are three things I feel are the most important. I feel like that most important things I have learned are the importance of being present in class, how to write a research paper, and the importance of using a comma properly . One of the most important things I have learned in this class is being present in class is very important and can be critical in passing a class. In college classes it isn't like high school where if you show up and have missed a couple days you can catch up easily and turn in things late.…

    With my first and final semester of english 1001 closing down, the most valuable lesson I learn this semester is you must put in the effort to get the grades. I can see my growth as a writer increase; at the beginning of the semester my writing skills where dull from a summer without any writing assignments. I believe with all the small assignments the professor Adamo assigned I was able to sharper my skills quickly and efficiently. Also the time i put into the writing lab helped me. The wonderful student helpers would review my papers and make sure I would hand in the best paper i was able to write.…

    At the beginning of this semester, I did not expect that the course English 0210 will be useful as most of my older friends, who took it, said that it is very boring and a waste of time. Therefore, I was disappointed and put in mind that it is a very traditional course like many useless courses; and I thought if it happened and made a change, it would generally improve my grammar and English skills but not to a great extent. After approximately two weeks and starting to engage more in the class, tasks and assignments, I found my mind getting better and more comfortable with thinking in a critical and creative way. Moreover, this reflected on mostly all of my English skills, yet I am still suffering from some problematic issues with…

    English 111 has been very rough and long but has taught me a lot, from how to start my paper to the conclusion of my paper. Sometimes I still do not apply everything I have learned and I am not afraid to admit to that because we all make mistakes. This class has defiantly gave me a better understanding on how to write the “perfect” paper. Also it is nice to know that you can email your professor whenever and they will help you with whatever you need help with. The professor tries to answer questions as quickly as possible but she does have many other students.…
