Final Reflection
Starting the class on the first day I had some huge doubts on if I was going to enjoy the class or not. My entire freshman year I avoided taking english, thats how much I dreaded it. Then sophomore year rolled around, finally forcing me into taking english and I do not regret it one bit. I took away so much knowledge from this class, each beginning with small assignments like reading discussions. These reading discussions really set the tone for the entire class because they were the building blocks to each major assignment. Each of the articles, whether being hard to read or easy to read, allowed me to walk away with more knowledge than I previously had. These discussions also allowed me to view other peoples opinions and reflect on them myself. Sometimes I even learned more from someone else's reflection than my own understanding of the article. However, what I am getting at is the reading discussions are great stepping stones that ease students into major assignments. I believe that my teacher did a superb job laying out the course for the class. I never felt like I was lost in the class because we always started small and worked our way up.
Before I even started writing this reflection I took some time and read over my entire portfolio. I could never have fathomed that I could have taken this much away from one single class in four months. I started with studying my own writing and from there I began to realize why I dreaded english so much. I hated getting started and felt like it had to be perfect the first time. However after reading Anne Lamott's "Shitty First Drafts" and seeing when I study the best with the results from my writing self-study, I have been able to improve drastically in my writing abilities. I also don't plan on stopping here, I want to continue to excel in english as much as I can and blow ENC 1102 out of the water with an A+. I'm determined to become more in depth of the writing discourse community and I feel as if I am off to a great start. After reading over my portfolio I believe that I deserve an A. I have displayed my knowledge of what was suppose to be learned and have successfully applied it throughout this semester. As the semester comes to an end I believe that ENC 1101 has prepared me more than enough for ENC 1102.
