English

This is my second English class in college and so far I have found that a lot of my HS information is bring presented again. It is a great reminder for how to properly write formal papers and to professionally present information in a smooth fact based way. There have been changes to writing and styles that can be tricky to not remember things have changed, especially with citing and MLA formating. It seems that each paper that I write I get a little bit better. Not saying that in a dumb way.. Its true, I see myself paying attention to a lot more detail, such as structure formating paragraphs and putting in transition sentences. There are so many aspects of English and writing I really don't know how anyone really "masters" the writing of English. I see this paper that we are currently working on as a great way to find out ALOT of information about a topic and see all aspects. With the different papers and their different emphasis we can explore sites of the topic along with diving deep into background information for the readers. Like I said, peer reviews have been extremely helpful for me. I know I need to still do a lot of work to this draft even after tomorrow before it is ready for Tuesday. It won't be easy but going over and over your paper and reading it aloud helps so much or just having your roommate read it and give some suggestions, so thats the plan for now and well see how this draft turns out...
