Hey,
My name is David Zirkiyev, the pronouns I go by are he/him.
Believe it or not, I am looking forward to this English class because I do have some problems that I would like to address. For example, I have issues getting straight to the point whether it is an email or a short response. The goal for me is to learn how to eliminate unneeded info when writing.
Can you please let me know where I can find the grading system? I wasn’t able to find it in the syllabus.
A rule that I go by when writing is, “Simple sentences work best”. My 8th-grade teacher taught me this rule since I always had a problem with run-on sentences. This rule helps me with compressing my sentences. I do believe this rule is true because people tend to understand your point when the sentences are simple.
I am not a big fan of writing. I mostly write when sending out emails at work. I usually take around 3-5 minutes thinking about how to properly word an email without sounding too repeatable (Always had a problem with that). As stated before, I find writing very frustrating.
Hi, David! Our grading system is available here: https://blogs.baruch.cuny.edu/eng2100fall2021/?p=44
Were you able to make your Writer’s Journal in Blogs@Baruch? This reads like your response to the first prompt so I wanted to make sure you were able to do that piece.
I’m so glad you’re in this course with us and appreciate your honesty that you’re not a big fan of writing. Emails can be a tough genre to master even though they seem simple at the beginning — especially when you’re doing them in a professional setting. Concision is something we can work on in your writing.
