Before taking this class, I was taught to write in a five paragraph style and in certain format for every single essay. However, in this class,I was encouraged to write in my own style. The writing assignment that we get in this class allowed me to pick topic that I am interested in writing about. Comparing to other writing classes that I have taken before, this class gives me more freedom to be myself. Because of that, I felt more comfortable with writing now. Also, I believe my writing has improved because of the course reading and the help from my professor. The most significant improvement in my writing is analysis and sentence structure.
Challenges that I experienced in this class are coming up with a complete idea for my essays. There’s always flaws in my rough draft ideas. But, with the feedback from Professor Gautreau and my peers, usually I get told where’s the unclear part or confusing part of the essay. …show more content…

In essay one, it’s about my experience with writing. In essay two, it’s about Asian stereotype that I grew up with. Last but not least, in essay three and four, it’s about advertisement and social issue that I am interested and care

I came into my first college writing class feeling prepared thanks to you and your investment in me as a student in your AP Lang class. I developed as a writer more than I ever had in your class, and it definitely helped me in my college writing class this semester. I already knew how important it was to revise and continuously critically think about my writing, as well as the importance of multiple drafts and peer review.

The big difference was that the focus was on different genres and how to appeal to those, which was something new compared to my high school English courses.

I took the time to write out an outline for this essay to help manage the chaos that is my writing, unlike my other essays for the course. As I said before, I have learned to question the structure of my paragraphs. For example: when I was revising the Composing Process essay, I noticed that a set of paragraphs could be rearranged and partially rewritten to improve the structure and make the essay flow better. However, I would argue that my Justification video assignment demonstrates my assertion better than my revised essays. From the beginning, I laid out a clear path that my Justification video needed to follow.
