My Experience in English 1010
Before taking English 1010 I really had no confidence in my writing skills. I also was nervous for this class because I was not sure what topics we would cover. Once class began and the professor explained what we cover, I was not as nervous and told my self I could do well in this course. In English 1010 we learned about African American English, culture, and literacy. In English 1010 we had four total assignments: Literacy Narrative, Informative Summary, Media Analysis, and finally a Multimedia Reflective Portfolio. Aside from learning about each of these writing forms, I learned that in college you really need to be on top of due dates and turning things in on time. I was sick and misread a due date while being sick and missed the date to turn in my paper. It really was a struggle to try to bring my grade back up, even with getting all B’s on my papers I am still not passing the class die to one zero in the grade book. I enjoyed having this class as a hybrid because it gave me more of a sense of independence and also gave me more time to do other work for classes I had on the same day as hybrid day. Ultimately Enlgish1010 has given me more confidence towards my writing skills and has prepared me to take English 1020 next semester.
