Dual-Credit Composition

I have been through many years of English courses, grammar courses, and even foreign languages, but none have been as beneficial as this Dual-Credit Composition I class. Over this course, there has been nothing but positive influence to both my writing skills and my creativity. This improvement could not have come without the practice of writing five full papers, and each paper consisted of an outline, rough draft, and final copy. Since this is a dual-credit course, I can reap the benefit of not having to take Composition I in college. Without the constant guidance of my teacher, Mrs. Brenda Key, none of these opportunities would have been available for my taking. Through taking a part in this Dual-Credit Composition I course, I have made major
During this course, I have developed a more comprehensive vocabulary. While writing many different papers on a variety of different topics, I was exposed to exotic words, broadening my vocabulary. A more diverse vocabulary helped me to describe events to a further extent. Different papers called for different points of view. I wrote papers in first person, second person, and third person. This helped me to exercise my writing skills. By writing in different perspectives, I was forced to changed verb tenses to match the nouns. Now, it seems as if writing in these other points of view is second nature, and I expect this to benefit me in the long run, since papers in college will be written from many points of view. I learned how to incorporate different levels of sentence structures throughout my paper, ranging from simple sentences to compound-complex sentences. It is important to have a variety of sentence types in a paper, because it can add depth to a paper. A paper with a spectrum of sentence structures is more desirable to read than a sentence with the same structure constantly being repeated. I have recently noticed in my writings, I am slowly moving away from making the majority of my sentences simple. A new depth has been added to how I write, which was not present
I wish I could say that I completely fixed my problems with punctuation, but I cannot. Still, I am happy saying that I have improved the problem and continually try to make it as minuscule as possible. In class, I have been given many punctuation and grammar packets, which has helped me to improve my punctuation skills. In this course, I have properly learned how to use semicolons, and I have been taught when and where to use commas. Resulting from my punctuational benefits, my papers flow better, as they are being read. In conclusion, this course has been nothing but beneficial. My writing procedure and my technical writing skills reflect the benefits I have received, which never would have been without my active participation in this Dual-Credit Composition I course. I now know that I am capable of writing college level papers, and hopefully, I will put this hard earned skill to good use. Now that my writing skills are on a new level, I can use what this course has taught me in years to
