Assignment #7


            As we approach the middle of the semester, I am able to evaluate myself academically. So far in English 101, we have completed one essay assignment and are currently in the process revising our second essay. When I received my grade for the first assignment I was discouraged with getting a B. I meant to meet with you and revise it, but I was so busy between work and school that I had missed my opportunity to do so.  My goal I set at the beginning of the semester was to pass this class, but now that has changed. I don’t want to just pass, but I want leave with an A.  I think my writing has improved since the first essay. Now I am more aware about the mistakes I am prone to making. Even though I am not a very good writing, I enjoy it. I have my own personal blog and it is something I look forward to doing.
            One thing I really like most about class time is the opportunity to work in small groups. Peer review is a good time to talk to my classmates and get feedback on my writing. I also enjoy getting to do some smaller assignments to help with my participation grades. However, sometimes I feel like some of the lectures we go over in class are things I have already learned. It is good to briefly go over these topics to refresh my memory, but when we go in depth I find myself getting distracted. I know that this is a writing class, but maybe we can do fun activities related to English.
