Final Blog

This week so far has been going wonderfully for me as I am so close to finishing up this semester so I can finally sleep for as long as I want. As I am about to be done with my sociology final and going into next week I am looking forward to my psychology, history, and math final which I cannot wait to get over with as I strongly believe I will do wonderfully on all those finals. So far to this day, everything has been pretty chill not to say very slow but I am a man of patience so that is not a problem for me. Overall this week I just feel like I am being set up for my break which I cannot wait for.

This course has been one of the better English courses I have taken throughout my education career as it is not only intriguing but also fun. English has been always one of my favorite classes to learn and use for various different situations like if it is writing a journal or essay. As I was participating in this course I learned how I was great at narrative writing but also expressed my opinions in a proper manner which surely will help me in the future in the real life. What I learned the most was the breakdown of text and using that to help express my point of view as all the feedback I received helped me construct a better argument so I am grateful for that. From week 1 I was not used to writing a lot but now writing 6-7 pages is like a piece of cake for me due to the consistency I have gone under.  For future English students, I would suggest getting comfortable in this new medium as it is very beneficial especially when you have your own time and place to put work into this course. So just keep on writing as that is the only thing that can help newcomers get better at writing. Going forward one piece of advice I would give is telling students not to stress out as this class is an easy A. The professor is super chill and nice even some newcomers might not have the most strong English background but with all these free extensions by default, there is no reason a student will do badly in this course. 

Almost there #2

This week so far has been wonderful as I am so close to finishing up this semester and very excited for winter break Which I desperately need so I can get my life together. The only thing that would be a problem this week was the math exam I took on Thursday but thank god that went smoothly. As I am now more relaxed and can maybe play some video games who knows. But honestly, I am really looking forward to being done with the finals so I can sleep and do some fun things with my friends.

If I had to choose a major project to revise throughout this semester I would pick the research paper as that was the one that only caused me A lot of difficulties which was not an aspect for me in this course. As my purpose for this project was to compose a research question that explores an excerpt and the author’s legitimacy or at least that’s what it was in my case. On which occasion I would have liked to explore more on author POV but during that time I was not able to really comprehend the breakdown of this project so that is something I regret very much. I would also like to take more time to have a personal contribution to the claim as I think I could have been a bit more realistic with that contribution. Continuing on one major point that missed out on is involving too much source information as that made it read like an analysis paper rather than an argumentative paper. With coving those couple of points in revision I strongly believe that my research paper could have read and express A whole lot better.
