When I came into English class, I already believed that all we do is write essay. I hated writing and I did not even try to hone my skills. However, besides writing essays, we also learned writing tips and skills to improve our writing. We also read articles, watched films, and wrote our comments on our blogs.
From this class, I definitely believe that I have become better as a writer (though that may be contradictory to the truth). I used tools such as rhetorical devices and metacommentary to tie in all of my thoughts and references. Overall, I think that this class was very beneficial yet fun at the same time!
At first, I was hesitant on whether continuing this course because we had so many readings to do, in a span of two days. We have other rigorous classes, so I expected English to be a bit easier from the rest of my classes. But you listened to our feedback and drastically shortened our readings.
Another change I would recommend is maybe adding more peer editing into the class time, before the due date of a paper. Those times when we peer edited, helped me a lot because it highlighted flaws and ambiguity in my paper.
