Writing had always been one of my strengths,
but it was challenging to take that initial step past the high school, five-paragraph essay form that constricted my ideas for so long.
however, has greatly opened my mind. My thoughts are now able to be more complex because I have learned how to sustain a logical argument in an organized manner.
Another improvement is my ability to point out multiple complexities within a text, instead of sticking to one-sided arguments in my papers. Furthermore, learning how to
My writing is so much more interesting than it used to be.
We had a great time and we learned so much more that we ever could have done from writing a paper. The opportunity to do that showed me that there are so many ways that one can learn that are both fun and educational.
The English courses also taught me how powerful the written word and language can be.

Developing Essays
One of the most helpful aspects of this course was summed up by the first course outcome provided in the course description: apply the writing process to develop essay using various rhetorical patterns in order to inform and persuade an audience.
however I wanted to improve my ability to write persuasively.
. This pushed me to really try to understand the topic that I was writing about and not just make generalized arguments and claims as I had done in the past when writing a persuasive essay.
.” Understanding how to not only find by correctly use my found sources for my papers improved my efficiency of writing dramatically because I did not have to spend a great amount of time figuring out how to correctly apply and use the information from my sources in my papers without having to worry about plagiarizing someone else’s work.
Throughout the course, I was constantly challenged to increase the quality of content of my work and to make few, if any, grammatical and mechanical errors.
I am much happier with the work that I produce now, and I can certainly state that my grammar usage and mechanical errors have both become much less problematic than when I first started the course.
One of the most beneficial parts of this course was the incorporated element of feedback that was given to me throughout
I found that the most beneficial aspects of the classroom for me were the discussions that we as a class had and the feedback that I received on my essays from those that read the drafts.
