English 101 Reflection Paper

As I approach my last day of English 101, I'm reflecting on how my writing has changed throughout the semester..When I first came into English I knew that I was not good at writing, during my school years I struggle with grammar issue and sentence structure. while in English 101 ,the assignment that I struggle with the most was the first paper. I never had to compare features between a scientific and scholar article before. I was having a hard time trying to understand what my teacher want from me and how I could incorporate it into my paper . After staying and going to group session I better understand what she wants from the paper. after pre-review and redoing my whole paper, I felt that my paper was the best it could be. I did not think that I have any grammatical errors but I was so wrong. After receiving my grade paper I start to become discourage on how I was going to make it in English class. After talking to my teacher I realized in order for me to make it I need to express that I need help. My third paper was my best paper in my opinion. After realizing to grades of a c- I decided to change the person
that grade it my paper. I was having peers around me make sure that my paper was complete and check for grammatical errors, which was not a smart idea. I figure since my peers knew English and realized an A in the class. I learning that I had to have a professional to check my paper, helping me realized in B on my paper.
Throughout the class, I learn that I need to reread my paper before I turn them in. Maybe next time I will go to the academic center to have one of the students read my paper to see if I have any errors. They will help me understand my errors and see why I keep making the same errors over and over again. If I was to take English over again I would not wait to the last minute to do an assignment or I will actually do the reading.
The advice that I will give to an income English 101 student is if you do not understand the information make sure you ask someone.
It is very important that you understand the assignment and know what your professor is asking you do to. Another helpful advice I will give to someone is to read the reading that Mrs.Lui gives you. Sometimes you might think that they are long and not useful to your learning but they will help you when it times for you to cite reading in your paper. Also, if you do not understand what the reading is talking about make sure to ask your teacher and listen to the class discussion when the class is going over the reads. My last advice for an income freshman is to pre-planned your paper because you do not want to wait to the last minute trying to come up with something quick and not be fully prepared when it’s time for peer
review.
