Blog 75 - And So It Goes...

Hello future English 110.01-ers! I guess this blog post is supposed to discuss my feelings about the course and any extra advice I would potentially have for you. This course is a general English course, so the difficulty level isn't that high, but don't let that fool you into thinking this class is a joke, because it isn't. There is a good amount of effort that you put into your essays (well, if you want decent grades on them, which you do). If you do put in a lot of effort, your writing will improve. On the other hand, if you slack off or really don't care, or maybe your writing skills are already off the charts, then this class won't really do much to improve your writing skills. In this course I feel that your effort will show through your writing, and that if a decent amount of effort is put into your writing then you will definitely develop some better writing skills. I think overall, my writing style developed a bit more. More importantly, my idea developing skills improved quite a bit. I'm better at formulating ideas and connecting them into a good topic or statement to back up whatever ideas I want to discuss. I've realized after taking this class that I don't hate English as much as I do. I have never been a fan of English classes, mainly because I don't like writing and writing for me is difficult because I'm not very good at conveying my thoughts into text. After this class, I realized that when I write about things I'm passionate about or have a great deal of interest in, I really do enjoy writing! Hopefully those of you who take this course will find some sort of interest or connection with the things you write about, because that's what writing is for isn't it? To take an idea you really care about and sharing that knowledge of viewpoint to others.
