The end has come :(


At the beginning of the semester, I felt as though I already knew what to expect since I had Professor Irving for English 1101 first semester. After I attended the first day of class, I realized that English 1102 was nothing like English 1101. The assignments that were presented in English 1102 seemed a bit more difficult. The basic theme of English 1102 was arguments and immediately I was afraid. I knew I would have a tough time writing arguments because the one paper I had the toughest time writing in English 1101 was an argument. I had to revise that paper numerous times and I still did not do that well. Even though I was quite nervous about writing arguments, I tried my hardest to create a good argument so I would be able to turn in a good paper. I feel as though I have improved a lot with my ability to write a good argument. If I was required to write another argument for another class, I would feel a lot more confident and prepared. I feel like I know the basics to writing an argument. Even though I feel a lot more confident when writing an argument I still feel like I am not perfect. Paper one was a breeze for me but paper two was a lot more difficult because we had to come up with a proposal. Writing proposals is one area that I think I could use a lot of help on. Another area that I could use some work on is citing sources in MLA format. Overall I feel like I learned a lot and this semester has been great!
