However, in depicting such, elevates the controversy of several other concepts. The first controversy is the idea of what is good and evil, which initiates the idea of two subcategories of morality. Next, is the concept of guilt and punishment which correlates with the idea of a bad conscience. Lastly, Nietzsche challenges the concept of asceticism.
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. My English 110 class this semester was very similar to yours because we also did multiple drafts where I could revise my paper as many times as needed. 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.

Looking back through my days of writing in high school there was a lot I did not understand about the writing process. My writing was much unstructured and overall very poor compared to what it is today after this class. I believe that I have always been a good writer I just have not had the tools and knowledge to create a well written and knowledgeable paper.

Writing The Writing 121 course presented a lot of challenges that I had to overcome in order to become better as a writer. One thing I found very challenging, was adjusting rhetorical situations to a given condition. When writing the Inquiry paper, I had trouble finding what subject geared toward other college students to write about, while trying to keep concepts like Kairos, Ethos, and Pathos in mind. Another challenge I had to face was organizing the word choice in my papers.
Tawney Nodland – As I look back over the past semester of English Composition, I realize that I have grown as a writer. Not onlyhas my understanding of the writing process changed, my whole attitude towards composition has too.

Throughout the term there has been many writing assignments —big or small— that helped reflect my writing process or the process itself. In the beginning of the course I felt like I was an “ok” writer, but lacked some skills such as: organization, sentence variety, and vocabulary. Also, I did not like to write and had a feeling of dislike when forced to write. I felt like I improved on everything I wanted and was seen throughout the semester. I know how to organize my ideas, the worksheets given in class to work on sentence variety really helped, and vocabulary was built on some level.
Throughout this semester, I can honestly say that my writing has improved in both style and technique.

Reflecting back to the beginning of the semester, I believe I have improved a lot in my awareness while writing. While editing my papers, I have found improvement in my bad habits and overall phrasing of sentences. I would usually have to go back and deconstruct some of my sentences, but now I have found myself doing less of that and focusing in on less of the basics and more of the transitional and organizational aspects. Before, I did not use a lot of transitions from paragraph to paragraph or even with sentences. Now, I have become a lot more aware to make my overall paper flow in an organized way.
Writing essays and other types of posts has always been difficult for me. But, throughout this composition class, I have learned many interesting and new things about the different types of writing styles. When starting this class, I considered myself to be an average writer with run-of-the-mill vocabulary, ordinary sentence structure and typical finished products. This class has helped me greatly improve my writing skills in a variety of ways.

Writing project 3 has shown me the importance of writing something that is of interest for you, an issue that you are passionate about. I think that I have started to get somewhat better at the structuring of my writing and using outlines before I jump into a draft. I am no longer as scared and hesitant to write, as I was the first writing project. I think a good goal that I accomplished from this project was using diverse sources in my writing. I was able to utilize a magazine post, newspaper article and research journals to form my argument and provide support.
