Recommended: Essays on distraction while studying

This class has been challenging and a bit overwhelming for me, many times I felt frustrated and like my head was going to explode. From all the papers we had to write, sources we needed to present and especially all the required reading which has been daunting and time consuming. At times I felt discouraged with so much to do in such little time and with all my other obligations outside of school, it was sometimes a roller coaster of time management and not losing my interest in each week’s assignment. Although I felt many emotions throughout this class, when I finally stepped back to evaluate, I noticed that I was learning much more than I thought. I not only learned how to format a paper with APA standards, but also how to overcome each …show more content…

I started feeling like this class was taking over my life and I was tired of all the reading and writing. Then I realized that I needed to come up with a different approach, as I realized most of my classes are going to require much of my time. I started out by writing my schedule for the week, in which I started to fill in times to do my assignments. It took taking my laptop everywhere, to doctor’s appointments, soccer games, family events, literally everywhere. I filled in all my downtime with school work and although I was still overwhelmed I did manage to find more time to play with my kids and still run my sobriety …show more content…

Here is passage in session four that stood out, "A truthful witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies." Proverbs 14:5 (NIV). This is something I can take with me to my other courses, because it’ll help me to choose the right sources for my assignments. Also, it’s important to see how you present yourself to others, as our words speaks loudly and reflect who we are as individuals. I find that God plays a huge role in my journey here at Colorado Christian, and I look forward to incorporating His passages in each of my assignments and in my everyday

I have learned a lot this semester in this course. There were many great things that I have started to implement into my life when interacting with others in my ministry and vocation. One book that was influential is “Confronting Without Offending” by Deborah Smith Pegues. When working with individuals, it is imperative not always to think that confronting must be offensive. I have learned that listening is vital when dealing with others, and especially when dealing with conflicts.

The main thing that I would need to say that truly took me for a moment to handle was this the genuine coursework in the real program itself understanding that you need to make the post on time. That you needed to respond to your classmates the way the instructor needs you to react. Earlier on I easily overlooked details like that, but they offer me some assistance with backing in the very begin . What do you wish you had got word that you didn't figure out? I don't generally know how to answer that question on the grounds that I took in a ton and you would prefer not to be excessively overpowered however I truly have taken in an awesome arrangement of knowledge.

I struggled to get used to this writing process, especially with MLA format, since I never used it professionally as I did in this class. The summary essay was quite simple and straightforward, which is also something that I enjoyed. The research argument essay was also a bit of a challenge, but I felt like I did a well-done job. I liked that I was able to talk about a subject I enjoyed, and learn also how to properly use citing within my essays. Furthermore, although there were some challenges and some ups and downs within the essays, I did learn a lot about how to properly write.

“Knowledge is power,” Francis Bacon once said. The more one knows, the more one is able to control and change the world. Novels, such as Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, illustrate how knowledge gives one power. In Northanger Abbey, Austen tells the story of an unlikely heroine, Catherine Morland, who is obsessed with gothic novels. She travels with Mr. and Mrs. Allen to Bath, a resort and marriage market in England.

Kellie- It is my understanding that 58 students are registered for AP Literature next year and will be placed in only two sections. This is highly concerning as it is not what is best for our brightest students, especially those who have so much at stake (scores, scholarships, etc.). Placing this many students per class will not only make it virtually impossible to conduct writing conferences, an integral part of the course, but will also drastically reduce the amount of individualized attention and could possibly ultimately lower scores on the AP Exam for individual students and our campus alike. Understanding it is necessary to maximize class size, a class of almost 30 students who are reading and writing on a daily basis is not conducive

Coming to this school I am challenged to my fullest potential, and yet living the life of a college student. After a long day of school and no social media, I tell myself “Just 30 minutes of phone time” but that turns into hours and next thing you know it’s dinner time.

The 2017 AP Language and Composition course was purely correlated to challenging prospering to potential readers and writers. Its evidential goal was designed to build a basis of using appropriate rhetoric devices as to make his or her idea tangible to others. Although our “particular” class was very outspoken at times, overall I do believe we know how to better communicate our insights through both writings and in speech than we did at the beginning of the year. Unlike any year of English’s class, I concur that we grew in our level of proficiency as a writer and in our progress as a critical reader. Nevertheless, personally, I would like to believe that I’m well-suited in getting an A for both effort and skill based qualifications.

I was in Mr. Howard’s AP Literature class. It was the first day of class, there were approximately thirty of us, sitting in rows of six, in the dark with music playing in the background and colorful bright lights traveling through the room. I chatted with my close friend Andrea, who sat beside me, until the bell rang to indicate that passing period was over. Mr. Howard then turned on the lights and muted the music and began to introduce us to his course. He stated that the class would be writing one to two essays a week and that there would be quizzes and tests based on our readings, the body of students responded to this by groaning and complaining; however, it was an AP course and were we to expect anything less?

I think this class gave me a great foundation to build off of in the future and to fine tune my writing skills in college and the future.
