My
experience in English Composition 111 has been nothing but pleasurable. I had a
lot of anxiety entering into this class due to the fact that I had not taken a
college class since 2000. Part of my anxiety started to fade away after I
received my first graded assignment, and I got 25 out of 25. I saw that I was
capable and grew some confidence.
The way
we did all the group assignments really helped to learn to open up and work
with others without being so nervous, and that is where the rest of my anxiety
started to fade away. I thoroughly enjoyed these groups as well as the partner
assignment and the peer reviews. I hope that in some of the next classes I take
that these same types of learning styles will be applied because I found them
so helpful! I have no problem socializing when I know someone but that getting
to know them piece was tough for me until this class. During the profile assignment
I was made to get a phone number of my partner. I needed help after I missed a
class and had I not gotten that number I
wouldn’t have found my way into the library learning about their resources.
I did
find that I tend to procrastinate until the last possible moment. I imagine
since the work I do in a hurry has been graded decently that if I was to do it
in advance and slower it would probably be even better. This is one tip I will
continue to remind myself during the rest of my college career! Thank goodness
I learned this early on with a great class and an awesome teacher who helped
even when I put it off until the last minute! I don’t think I could’ve asked
for a better first class experience honestly.
