Assignment No. 7- Reflecting Progress.

Now that I've entered this English 101 course, I don't think I've ever had a writing class focusing just on writing. I remember Humanities, which is a combination of history and English, I remember philosophy and Linguistics but never just writing. Overall, I think I am pretty good at finding the main ideas of something specific and picking it apart and what not, but it wasn't until now that I am unsure if I'm a good writer. Our first assignment had me kind of dumbfounded, I felt like I was writing a paper, about reading or writing a paper (or book, whatever). I didn't know where to start or what to talk about. I didn't really feel like we had adequate examples because I never had any struggles or conflicts with literacy worth talking about. I just gather all my notes, pull up some sources on the web and start writing. What is so interesting there? I was completely confused. I thought that if any class I took and I would do exceedingly well in, it would Writing 101. However, I’m on my fourth paper for the Literacy Narrative assignment , and I think I’ve grasped the point better after sitting down and having a meeting. I like that we have more than enough time to write and revise our papers with one on one time with our peers and our professors. It helps because it honestly would have been a downer to receive my original grade. I feel like you’d have to try really hard to not do well in this class.
