Dear Mrs. Emerson,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During my time here in this class, there are many things I couldn\u2019t and didn\u2019t understand about basic English such as, where to place commas. Through taking this class I now understand some things that I couldn\u2019t before now. I am glad that I ended up in your classroom, I don\u2019t know what I would do if I was in a different classroom with a different way to learn because you made it easier to understand.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the knowledge I achieved in class was useful for me outside of class. One time, I took a look at my cousin\u2019s paper for his college class and I noticed some errors that I wouldn\u2019t have been able to pick up on if I hadn\u2019t taken this class. I told him the errors he had such as comma errors and punctuation errors that could be easily fixed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my public speaking class, we were discussing rhetorical speeches and how to critic them. I used that information gained in that class to help form my rhetorical analysis paper for my English class. Since I had already been over the topic of rhetorical analysis and we were going to discuss somethings in class that would help us write the paper, I feel as though that paper was probably one of my prepared papers I\u2019ve done this far.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During the time taking this course, I realized that a lot of the material covered in it was also being covered in my public speaking class. There was a point when we were covering persuasion in English and within a few weeks my public speaking class was preparing for a persuasive speech. I used the knowledge from English class to help me in my persuasive speech. I finished my speech with a raw score of 88 and I probably would\u2019ve scored lower if I hadn\u2019t already been over that specifically.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Everything I\u2019ve done this semester has been leading up to my Eportfolio. My experiences going into this portfolio will not be forgotten anytime soon. I will use this information acquired to assist me in later courses and later in life. This portfolio is a collection of all my assignments over the semester. I don\u2019t have to just use it this one time. I could something like this later on to help keep my work organized and all in one space. I could also use to show to someone or somewhere I am trying to apply to later in my life. I can give them a link to a portfolio that has all the work I have accomplished that might catch their interest instead of bringing over a bunch of papers that can be disorganized and messy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Before I started this semester, I thought English was going to be my hardest course to pass. I have always had a vendetta against English classes because I\u2019ve always barely slipped by with a \u201cB\u201d while my other classes have been higher than my English classes every time. This time I assumed it was going to be the same way as it was it was in the past. It was that assumption that I realized that this course was different than the ones in the past. So this time I tried to complete every paper that came my way without slacking. Knowing that it was that assumption that pulled me back from doing the absolute best I could, I will try to stop assuming negatives about a particular course based on what I, or someone I know, may have experienced.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I want to continue to push forward with my work while doing it correctly. All the knowledge and skills I have acquired throughout this semester will help me in later semesters and continue with me throughout my life. I will cease making negative assumptions about a particular course regardless of what others think unless it is for the better.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
