ENG 101

Professor Cline,

When I first started this semester in English 102 I knew it would be difficult. However, I had no idea that you would help us so much in the process of learning. In this class I struggled with everything going on, with work, and school, and family. However, the videos you gave us to watch and the pointers you made on our papers helped me so much, and made this class the best one I have ever taken. Many times I was actually excited to get on the computer and work on the assignments you gave us. I have completed several English assignments in my years of home school, and I have also taken English 101 at the college. After taking English 101 I thought I could not possibly learn more! However, my second semester of English has proved my thoughts to be wrong. In English 101 I wrote three types of essays. I wrote a narrative, a research essay, and another one that was like a belief essay. Although those essays where fun, I have never had so much fun, and improved my writing skills as much as I have doing literary anlysis in English 102 with you.

Although I have learned so much I still have a few goals that I expect to accomplish. The first thing I would like to do is become a better summary writer. When I summarize a story in writing I tend to drift more towards analysis and involve my own ideas rather than simply stating what the story is about. I would also like to work on sentence structure. I have learned a lot about it this semester yet; there are some areas where I am still a bit shaky. The area that I would like to improve on the most would be my ability to convince the people that read what I write. Simply because writing in a way that people can agree with makes text easier to understand. I would like to make things easy on my readers instead of making them confused and upset with the words I write. The final thing I believe I need to work on would be the repetitiveness of my papers. I have had a problem with this since I was a child. I would write papers and repeat the same thing several times because I wanted people to really understand what I was writing. I have gotten better yet; there is still room for improvement. I just hope it’s not too late! Like I enjoy this class so much, and I cannot wait to get started on the next half of the semester! Thank you so very much for your help, this semester, and I look forward to completing this class, with you!


Sincerly,
