The English 198 syllabus is divided into multiple, well-defined sections that provide the reader an easy way to find the class’ core goals, policies, and assignments. It explains that English 198 is a “writing intensive course,” meaning that its primary focus is to improve writing skills through the completion of various written assignments. These assignments will not only build writing skills, but will also test comprehension of material and other critical interdisciplinary skills that will be of vital importance in the years here at the University of Tennessee and in the work force. As the class is “writing intensive,” students should expect to write no less than 5000 words over the course of the semester. Along with the written assignments,…

Having served in the military for 12 years, I've developed written skills in a very focused technical sense. These skills are an important part of my analytical forecasting role, but are also critical to everyday communication, taking the form of e-mails, reports, evaluations, standard operating procedures, and instructions. Completing ENG 101 through Excelsior college, allowed me to expand my written ability to encompass more academic writing skills. This better equips me to handle a multitude of writing requirements because the course taught me how to organize an academic paper, properly document sources, and use various writing techniques to achieve my communication goals.…
Freshman Composition has done so much for me academically. In previous years I have had to do little to no writing and even when we did there were no rules or writing process we had to follow. This class has built a great basis for me, towards my academic future. I do realize that I am far away from being even an average writer, but I enjoy and accept that challenge to myself on becoming a competent writer. Parts of my writing, that still need to work are my introductions and sentence fluency. While I believe that my strong suits are, that once I get past my obstacles of writing that I have the potential to write something that will make a difference, other than that all my skills are still very raw. I’ve learned many things during EN101, the…

Writing isn’t something that was ever stressed in my high school and since I am a computer science major, didn’t think that I would really be needing to write very often. But, this class has completely changed my perspective on writing, along with how I write. I have learned how to better plan my papers, create strong arguments, and how to create a good flow in the final product.…
The importance of writing, both academically and professionally is to be able to communicate your thoughts properly to everyone whom you communicate with. I believe being able to write academically give you the foundation in which you are going to use when you write professionally. When you write professionally its important to be able to communicate to co-workers as well as potential clients. I feel they are both important in the sense they help you communicate to your peers, colleagues and everyone else in an effective manner through email, letters and corporate memos.…
My writing has been my biggest barrier. To overcome this obstacle, I am using the writing center. Writing webinars have helped me learn strategies to address my grammar and sentence structure problems. I plan to take a writing class at a local college to expand on what I have learned from the writing center. Currently, I am looking for a class that will fit my work schedule and budget. The goal is to improve my writing so I can have my prospectus approved.…

Learning how to articulate my opinion, correct my grammar, use proper punctuation and adequate spelling will be key to accurately communicate. Organizing and clarifying my thoughts is hard enough, so the chances of the reader forming a negative opinion or having a bad impression of me because I have poor writing, spelling mistakes or by finding any error will be extremely high. This course will help me become a better writer so I can have the ability to express and communicate thoughts to paper. Being able to effectively write will help me confidently articulate myself, if not a part of me would otherwise be overshadowed. This will boost both my skill and comfort when revealing my own thoughts and…
There will be many ways I will utilize the information obtained with this technical writing course. I have learned new abilities in understanding how to present information depending on what it is. Although giving or writing instructions is similar to technical description there is a need to remember objectivity and the type of audience it is being presented to. I have been reminded of how to present myself and my skills with career…
During this course I have actually learned how there are a lot of different types of papers. When I first started writing I was told you have, persuasive, expository, and narrative essays, but in reality there are so many other types of way to organize and attack a paper. When entering ENC 1101, I honestly hoped to receive information on different ways to write a paper and the many different types of way a paper can be organized. I was also wishing to be taught how to research information for a paper and how to cite that information properly. Most of all, I wanted to see if my writing skills would continue to grow in different areas. When starting a new paper the slides that explained the type of paper we were going to start writing as a class…
