As this class comes to an end, I can confidently say that I have learned a lot throughout this class.  This class has helped me improve my basic writing skills and also helped broaden my knowledge of writing. From doing the journal entries to writing our first paper, to the ePortfolio and the editing skills checklists, these are all assignments that have helped me grow in my writing.  I am glad I was put into this class before taking English 110C because writing is one of my weakest subjects and I feel like I definitely would’ve struggled a lot more if I didn’t take this class first.

All the assignments we had in this class, for example, the journal entries and the four essays we had to write, really helped me practice my writing; getting feedback from my peers, and most importantly my professor really helped me learn what mistakes I was making throughout my writing. Although the editing skills checklist and ePortfolio didn’t help me as much I’m still appreciative that I was able to learn how to create my own website.   The editing skills checklist helped me review what mistakes I was making in my writing by finding help on websites for practice, which was a good benefit as well.

Writing is a huge struggle for me. I was never really good at writing unless it’s a fun and relatable topic or a short journal entry.  Coming into this class I thought I was going to struggle so hard and end up failing, but it turned out not to be as bad as I thought.  Now with the end of the semester rolling through, looking back, I am very grateful I was required to take this class because I feel like if I wasn’t enrolled in it before I took English 110C then I probably would’ve ended up failing that English class and having to retake it.
