Throughout the semester we were given numerous opportunities to write about various subjects. In particular, my personal favorite piece of writing had to be analysis blog three. We were given the opportunity to analyze a show and I analyzed Entourage. I enjoyed this because it forced me to actively view the show and the different connections it made from particular things the characters had mentioned. Also, along with this I felt that the song analysis blog has made me pay more attention to the lyrics of songs in which I had not done before.
Learning how to properly cite using MLA has forced me to use more credible sources in my papers. In the past, I would often use sources that I would just find on the internet which are not always appropriate. With this class I have begun to direct more of my research towards credible newspaper and journal articles. The powerpoint presentation also allowed me to work on my presentation/speech skills which I think is always important to practice.
Throughout the semester the class engaged in intellectual conversations about various subjects. I was looking forward to learning new things from my classmates at the beginning of the semester and I definitely feel that I got just that. Being a biology major I am not given many opportunities to actively write about what I am feeling and I think I received that in this class. Overall, English 1020 was an excellent class and helped improve my writing in various ways. Thank you Mrs. Welter for being a great professor.
