His exams, on the other hand, were essay question exams and were very difficult especially when someone didn’t study. After the first exam, I knew I had make sure next two were better grades but unfortunately I struggled in English, so essays questions were not my strengths compared to multiple choice. Professor Hammontree graded very strictly on grammar and counted off many points and ended up failing his class. He also required two book summaries and
I leaned that sometimes speaking your mind no matter how intimidating can usually pay off in the long run. Writing an essay for my GED was not such a pleasant writing experience. I wrote my essay on my grandmother, and even though I felt it was passionate and detailed the instructor was looking for more. It seems, when writing for a grade, they were looking more for form, punctuation and proper grammar. Disappointed as I was I realized its not always the subject as much as it is your form and process that gets the grade I learned to pay more attention to my technique and process.
At this point, I think it depends on what are your reading interests and how reading meets your interpretation skills to be understood or to get you involved on its field. I have always been a thinker, but throughout my coursework, I have sharpened my critical analysis skills and I like to read more books than I did before. First time that I started to read it was in my first grade. I was so excited at the time and I felt like a hero. My first teacher, Luljeta, was a big help to put me in the track.
At the beginning of the semester, I had poor writing skills and critical thinking skills. Various class activities explored avenues and styles of writing. I learnt how to incorporate creativity in writing to satisfy the readers. Skills acquired in class shaped my perception of gothic literature as a noble genre that applies creativity and critical thoughts that change the society. After undertaking this course, I have high regard for literary discourse that promotes positive thinking in society.
I tended to learn more effectively by taking notes in class and rewriting them later. Later in my years of high school I highlight passages in my readings and write them down on paper. I read over the notes repetitiously in order to grasp the information. In addition to being hands on learner, I am a bottom-up learner. I am a very detail-oriented individual who prefers to have a rock solid foundation built before I proceed to new challenges.
I often have a hard time trying to figure out what words fit where to make complete sense of the sentences or paragraphs. I also just fill my paper with words and paraphrasing instead of using the actual important information that will keep my readers attention. I also use colorless words that I use in everyday conversations and I also use every day slang adjectives. I believe if I follow his advice on how to say nothing in 500 words I will be a better writer than I am right now. This story should be read by all beginning English students.
It was 2008 when I began high school at Mission High School in San Francisco, California. My mom and I moved to San Francisco a year prior so we could be closer to my uncle, who was undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer. The school year started out like any ordinary school year for a newcomer. I was the new kid who didn’t really know anyone. I wouldn’t say that it was depressing; it just took some time for me to get properly integrated into the student body.
As I spent more time trying to bring up my grade in one class, my grades began to suffer in my other classes. I decided to make a drastic change. I needed to quit going to football workouts which takes a lot of my studying and homework time, so that I can focus on my classes. At the time,
I took some classes and shortly I was only 2 classes away from receiving my Associates Degree, but things and priorities changed in my life. I got married to my beautiful wife Cyndi in December 2002 and we shortly had a child on the way. I also converted my job in the Navy to Navy Career Counselor. Because of these changes in my life I put off college and did not pick it back up again till this class. I have found that I really like working and helping people.
By joining this English 101 class, I feel that I learned a lot of things. Though sometimes I did not understand some of the things that being delivered during the class, I feel blessed that I can learn on how to write correctly. I found out that I need to make a kind of brainstorming before I make the essay. After that, I need to make a rough draft, which will be
