Dear Future English 110.01 Students,
Since I do not like to write about things, and I do not think that I am a good writer, I did not want to take English classes. But as a GEC, I had to take English 110. On the first day of the class, I just didn't know what to do. However, taking this class, I started to have interest in writing.
Working on my Analytical Research Paper, ARP, I learned how to form what I think about some specific things. In my case, I analyzed a movie poster. At first, I could not form the thoughts that were in my head. But following the steps that we learn during the class, I could form those ideas and drag them up.
Writing a Commonplace was a very interesting exercise. We had to write essays for the students of OSU that is timely, relevant, and compelling. We tried to write essays that OSU students would be interested in. I got better grade on ARP than on Commonplace. I guess it is because when I write a research paper, I just make it academically. However, I had to write an essay for some targeted readers when I write a Commonplace.
Editing a Commonplace was nice. Each of us first writes a letter as if we are editors, then make decisions and explain why we decided so. And then each group members gather their ideas and make a final decision. Sharing the reasons why they decided so, I could think more deeply about other’s writings.
English 110 is a course that you would like eventually. All you need to do is managing time wisely, and not missing any classes. I believe that the instructors go over important points for all your assignments. Hope you would like English 110 as I did. Good luck!
Sincerely,
Young-Hwa Kim
