Diagnostic This year in English II CP, we are analyzing our class syllabus. The three main concepts that stand out to me are measurable course objectives, rules and expectations and the late work policy. This year we will have improvements of reading, writing, and grammar in this course. In this English II class, the three most important things are objectives, rules and expectations, make up and late work policy. In Mrs.Brauckmann’s class she expects her students to be thoughtful, creative writers and to comprehend and evaluate complex text. Students who can “incorporate the critical practices of access, selection, evaluation..” will achieve a higher grade. Students are also expected to create evidence based arguments and convey intricate information. …show more content…
Brauckmann has high expectations for us and has rules we all need to follow. The most important rules for students to follow are to be respectful to everyone and to have our phones turned off and stored away; Having our phones stored away is important because our phones are distracting to us. Mrs.Brauckmann also wants us to be prepared to participate and be productive manner, in example coming class to share and discuss topics. The attendance, make up and late work policy are important because it can help the student get caught up and it’ll help their grade go up. Attendance is very important, missing school a lot really makes your grades decline (not turning in make up works makes it worse too) For excused absences it is our responsibility to meet with Mrs.Brauckmann before or after school to arrange makeup work and we only have three school days to make it up. Mrs.Brauckmann also doesn’t accept late work and makeup quizzes are on friday workshops. In conclusion in English II we will be focusing on being better writers, following all the rules and instructions Mrs.Brauckmann gives us, and having better
In English 1102 students will learn many different techniques throughout the course to understand and compose an analysis on an array of topics. After the course is over it is up to the students to apply what they have learned to everyday life. Many students throughout this course have questioned why they have to learn this material and that it will not even help them in the real world, but they are wrong. Each and everyday people should look at the deeper meaning and analyze situations very carefully or else one may find themselves being deceived. Being able to analyze is a very important skill no matter what career choice you choose. In this course the material assigned also had many life lessons in them. A great example of a reading assignment
The five-minute warning bell goes off. I rush to my first class of my junior year, eager to see my classmates, who I was going to spend the rest of the 9 months with. I find myself stumbling into a classroom plastered with decorations of Denzel Washington with a Dr. Seuss book in his hand, a t and college flags galore. My AP English 11 class suddenly seemed so appealing to me. As a beautiful, curly haired short lady stood in front of me and said “Welcome to AP English 11,” I knew that I had found a treasure so much greater than just a pretty classroom. Little did I know, that short lady was going to inspire me throughout my challenge filled second-to-last year of high school.
In the past two months i fell like i have accomplished a great deal. As i focus on it more i realize i have become a better reader. I did this by concentrating on my readings and take my time to read them. With the help of my professor and classmates i began to analyze what i read.
My entire life, I have looked forward to math class; it has always made sense to me. Plugging numbers into an equation and solving for x always came easy to me. Outside of school, I enjoy reading. Easily, I could pick up a book and read the entire thing as time just flies by me. The books I don’t like to read are the ones that I am forced to read in a constricted amount of time. Before this year, I’ve never taken an honors English class; I was the smartest one in my CP class. I never challenged myself which is the reason I decided to take AP English. I didn’t put this on my schedule have my transcript look good, or to boost my GPA, I want to become a better writer. In 20 years, the skills I learn throughout this year will be more important
With completing the half of the semester in the ENGL 160 class, I was able to benefit from a variety of new things from the class. The first time when I came into the class I had a fear that my grammar level doesn’t meet teacher’s requirements, as well as my essays will be simple and I would have “C” in this class. Moreover, I’m international student that is way I was uncertain of my English and I was thinking that during the class period I would understand only 50% of information, but fortunately I get all information from class.
Before taking English 1301 class, I was a light writer. I mostly enjoyed writing poetry, short stories, and a did a little bit of journaling here and there. Many of my writings were about my own personal feelings and were used as stress relievers, or for other therapeutic reasons. I am a very emotional writer, by this I mean I like to show a lot of emotion behind my writings. While taking English 1301, I had to write academic essays. This caused quite a bit of struggle for me, as I was unable to show emotion and I had to grow accustomed to writing with a larger vocabulary and writing papers that were longer than half a page or so. I struggled with finding the words to say, and suffered from writer’s block. I got over this slump within the first three to four weeks of class, and felt more capable of writing academic essays.
The material that we learned and covered in English 1102 being with an Introductions Discussion week, Critical Reading and Thinking for both Poetry and short stories. We learned that the use of References and Quotation are important. It’s important to Proof Reading to avoid basis errors like grammatical errors, and typos. We than learned about the Processing of Reading, Responding to, and Writing about Literature, Literary Criticism, and Introduction to Research, Developing a topic and gathering resources. I learned how to access GALILEO and GPC Library for online students. Galileo, Heuristic for Research, Research Writing, The process of Annotating.
ENGL 101 class is on my study schedule for this semester. This class runs over writing academic researches for college. As a student for this class, I can give my reflection about this course. This reflection might be a useful for the future. Because when the educators know about some of students’ challenges during this course, they could overcome those problem next time. Also, they would give more attention for student’s needs. Through this reflection, I would write some benefits points form studying this course, descript the challenges that I have faced in this course.
When first learning about 1011 option I had bittersweet feelings about it, I love English but I’m pretty lazy. Pretty much being forced into the class I went in skeptical on the course and instructor, asking myself “ do I need this extra work load”? Unless learning is love for someone, I’m sure anyone with the same option to take this course would think similarly. I’m here to tell you that the 1011 course is a worthwhile option for students. The class community, additional supports in 1010, and one on one with instructors make this class an awesome option for any student.
To begin with, English II has been an intriguing course with an abundance of knowledge accumulation. There are plenty of wide range topics we had been over with significant historical, personal, emotional and cultural value. The three main subjects I was very absorbed by was The Secret Life of Bees, Jim Crow and debate. These topics have inspired me to invest more time in literature and the education it provides for everyday life.
From my initial impressions of the first class meeting, I felt that English 1A class will focus on reading and writing from a critical perspective. As a writer, I would be expected to not only express my ideas in graceful, or at least tolerable prose, but also focus on the overall meaning and flow of the argument. The syllabus also suggests that this course will require a fair amount of work, perhaps because there is no substitute to improving writing that does not involve a lot of practice.
my understanding of themes and ideas such as gender, violence, and privacy and has advanced my sense of critical thinking. It has supplied me with the tools needed to analyze daunting texts which would have been seen as beyond my abilities. This class has enabled me to relate what is currently going on in our modern-day American society with what goes on in the various types of places described in the great works that we read. Over the course of this school year I have also learned some things about myself that I had never known before. This has led to a self-actualization that I would have never saw coming and has changed my views on life in ways I did not think possible.
English 111 introduces students to critical thinking and the fundamentals of academic writing. This is a prerequisite English class for higher-level English education. By the end of this course a student will have gained a great deal of practice in the craft of writing. This essay will evaluate the English 111 textbooks, essays, self-reflections, the instructor, and what I personally learned.
All around the world people have to take an English course. The question many students ponder is whether you actually gain any knowledge from this course. Throughout the course of the past semester I have been much more enlightened on many aspects of life through attending the class of English II. The class has been so useful for me because it allowed me to learn many topics such as, the care and life of bees, the steps to creating a fictional story, and how to successfully win a court case.
This semester introduced me to newfangled concepts that, paper after paper, have helped me succeed in my classes. Professor Ulrich has done an adequate job of instructing me in this semester’s composition one class. Each one of my papers provides proof of my academic development as I acquired and applied new concepts. Additionally, across the span of my first daily writing to the last, although I admit to having ups and downs, there is evidence that I have retained what I have learned. Now, I possess rhetorical knowledge, critical reading writing & thinking knowledge, a composing process, knowledge of conventions, and proper use of writing technologies; furthermore, each has cultivated me into a better student this fall semester.
