We've gone through half of the semester already. In this quarter, we have learned a lot of concepts in writing. Personally, learning how to write rhetorical Analysis and also using APA format was pretty new and I gained a lot from learning them because it is something that we will definitely use in our future classes. I also like how in most of our assignments, we are allowed to choose our own topic depending on our interest. In that way, we can be more motivated to write our papers. Using a lot of time on boring topics that we are not interested in are pretty hard to keep concentrated...
Along with a lot of new things that we learned, there were a lot of reviews for things we did in composition 1 and in high school. Inference paper was one of them and also the readings that we have done, (chapter 1, chapter 3, harbrace, etc) were mostly reviews. Like others have written in their blogs, it felt like we were not really challenged in this class, however, it have been a good review class that made us look at a lot of important concepts in writing again. Knowing things that we reviewed, (logos, ethos, pathos, conclusion, premise, etc) is essential in all classes that we will take in the future.
Also since we will not be taking writing class after this semester, I think it is important to fix our writings and know what good writing is before we end this class. I want to make use of this class so that I will not be regretting in the future!!
I definitely agree that we should make use of this class to improve on our writing skills. I guess the reviews are good for reminding ourselves the basic knowledge in writing.
返信削除Thank you for this helpful feedback. This is an interesting mixed review that seems to have been affected by Rei's blog post. The aspects of the course that you describe as useful - do these add challenge where the other review aspects do not? Is there any challenge in reviewing?
返信削除I agree with you. I am glad that I learnt many new concepts of writing during this semester. And we could review what we have already covered in COMPO1 and before that. Maybe, I think, reviewing is as important as getting new information. And that is what our professor was meant to do ...?
