Journal 1: Thoughts on ENC 1101

Topic:  Tell me about your experience in ENC 1101.  What do you feel are the strengths you gained?  How was your class structured?  What do you feel you needed more assistance with?

               

  English has always been my favorite subject as well as the subject I feel I am the strongest in. In my ENC 1101 class, we had to write several papers. Topics ranged from describing how to do something to making up a story about a planet we created. The class was pretty laid back. There were no tests or quizzes, only essays, journals, and three discussion boards. The majority of the writing was fiction; whereas in 1102 we will be writing mostly non-fiction and argument essays that require research.

                The strengths I gained in 1101 where similar to those I gained in my high school English class. I learned to write creatively as well as how to work with deadlines. The only aspect of this class that I am nervous about is all of the research. I do not have a problem with finding information; I just need to work on knowing how to cite them correctly. I know that with practice I should be able to strengthen this aspect of my writing.
