My Composition Class Analysis
The composition class here at Dubuque Senior High School allows students to improve their writing skills and teaches them self-dependence. It's a great class which has improved my grammar skills but there are things that I would change about the course.
First, I would change the in-class portion of the class. This class is very independent based and relies on students to do all the work themselves. Although for most students the time given during the day is a blessing and allows them to complete all work during the day. Personally, it was my least favorite part of the class. I'm a very busy student, I normally always have something to work on. I try very hard to make sure I have a schedule that works for me. Throughout this semester, I have found myself working for other classes and other teachers during our class time. It was hard for me to leave those places and go sit in the quiet classroom when I wasn't getting much done. I simply found that I worked harder for this class at home because it was easier for me to get inspiration to write there.

It was such a relief to not have to stress too much about this class because I knew I could work on it when I had time. Throughout crazy weeks, multiple projects and more I never had to spend a great amount of time worrying about turning my papers in. I could create my own schedule which is such a unique thing to find in schools. Also, like I mentioned before, the class gives students a chance to learn more than just where to put a comma. This course teaches self-dependence and that for a good grade all you have to do is complete the work and do your

    By using this I have discovered what my goals and dreams are. I wanted to pass this class and go on to college but that's not going to happen if I fail english. I realized that all that busy work she was giving us wasn't actually busy work. She showing us how hard it can be in college and most of the material now that I come to think of it helped me with everything I did in that class whether it was vocab or learning to write a better thesis statement. My goal for that class was to pass with an 80 or high by the end of each marking period and to not slack on all my work and to do it well and on time. Now I actually do my work ahead of time so that I don't forget and I have time to go back and look over it and sometimes I have a little free time to myself. My current grade in my CCC English 102 is an 89 and so far i've been doing things days before they are actually do so I make sure it's…

    The only way to get better at certain things is by doing them over and over. I feel as this applies to writing. In writing workshop we wrote a lot. So obviously I think that I became a better writer. Mainly because this semester I wrote as much essays as I did my freshman and sophomore year. During this class I changed some of my ways of writing because I didn’t like how it was. It also helped me see my strong and weak spots in writing. I can leave this class with tips for other students and with things that help me write better. This class is writing workshop and I will leave this class with more writing skill than I had in the beginning of the year.…

    This class has been an experience to which I am thankful for. I believe this class should continue to be a must for all incoming freshman here at Concordia. By taking this class I learned so many things about how to successfully adapt from high school classes to college courses. Every day in your class was a new day for me to learn about how to prepare and plan for success for not only the next four years, but also for the rest of my life. The great thing about transitions though, is that I was about to meet so many great new people in my life. With all the interacting done between people in the class, I was able to talk and have conversations with everybody…

    I am glad that I took this composition course. Before I took this class, I would say that I was just an average writer. I took this class in hopes that I would learn more about writing and learn new skills that I can apply to my writing process. I have only been in this class for one quarter, but I would say that I am a much better writer than I was before I took this class. I have learned new skills that expand my writing above the level it was. I have also learned more about myself as a writer and what is working and what is not working with my writing process.…

    To start it off, this has actually been an English class that I will encourage other to pick from and why I say this is because is not like any ordinary English class. Your class actually has a meaning every topic we had discuss about examples from global warming, food industry problems, community, diversity we learn from this topic and each and one of us have different opinion. The topic that impact me the most to be more aware about was the global warming one, why? Because there’s many things out there that we are causing, that we are not aware of that causes global warming and this topic does changes people way of doing these ordinary harm towards the Earth. Also, no ordinary English class we could go and do service learning hours others…
