Professor Crombie's Argumentative Essay

I still remembered that day when Professor Crombie, my English teacher at Tallahassee Community College, announced, 'the research paper is where most students struggle, and this is where a lot of students quit.'' That moment had finally came, the sweat from my palms made my pencil slipped right through my hands; the bloody heart is beating faster than Usain Bolt footsteps-fastest guy on the planet. My heart beat, was actually louder than my thoughts, but fortunately, I still remembered asking myself certain questions. How can I surpass this anxiety? What method Professor Crombie is going to subscribe? Other than the ''quote sandwich'' will there be another effective approach on writing this essay? As my professor was handing out sample sheets
to his students, he seriously stated, ''on the top of the paper put mine will look like this'', the annotated bibliography was not only effective, but made writing the research paper exceedingly comfortable. In addition, the journal assignments open up great ideas on what you may considered on writing about, and Professor Crombie's dictionary made it impossible for me to encounter writers-block. I learned as a writer, and maybe this apply to most students, but my best work comes when my writing is not rushed. Previously, I had the tendency to wait, and wait, and wait until the last minute before assignments was due before I embarked writing. Not a good idea at all. As I gotten better with me taking action quicker in my writing, unfortunately, I still wasn't developing my essay at a good pace. Basically I'm sitting down merely thinking, but with no words on the paper-this is not good. Once I started writing down every thought that my cognition will allowed, writing felt like Christmas morning-just joyful. However, every writer can improve, and like many, we all share traits of strengths and weaknesses. One of my strengths in writing, is my creativity-writing short stories with style and using metaphors. I love to tell story that is relatively to my topic, my philosophy, is can my short stories itself expresses and embrace my academic writing. I'm fully aware that I have a lot of work to do, to be characterizes as a affluent writer, and one of my apparent weaknesses is proofreading. Thinking back to how Professor Crombie made everyone held up their papers, eyeball level, and made us read our position paper from that angle-it's science behind proofreading-made me catch obvious mistakes. I also need to take the time and study the ''7 commas rule'', so I can minimize comma mistakes in my essays. The class was full of excitement.
Professor Crombie has an innate way to teach effectively with a sense of humor. Reminiscing again, but I remembered the first day of class, and Mr. Crombie asked the class, ''who in here are writers'', and nobody raised their hands, including myself. Now if I were to ever revisit that same question, both of my hands going up with confidence. With the methods he provided, makes it inevitable for anyone to say they are not writers. But of course, all great teachers can use a little feedback on how to better the class. One thing I feel that will help students significantly in the class room is the time writing. Our first time writing was done at the house, and I think it should of been done inside the classroom. I personally believe that preparation comes best when the setting is the exact same. Some students probably didn't timed themselves in the right matter, or students probably didn't feel the actual pressure. Finished or not, the first writing should still be given its 50 point, however let's students feel the actual pressure and prepare themselves for the next one, that's more seriously graded. I've gotten feedback from students, and most complained about how they underestimated the time writing, and how they wished they could of practice more. So if I have to show critism it will be on the time writing. I hate to be contradictive, but students have to take more responsibility of their
weaknesses.
