Reflection on the Course

Eng 102, Laura Cline

            To be honest, this class has been a struggle for me.  As much as I like to read, I found it hard to get motivated.  I will admit that Frankenstein wasn’t as bad as I had first thought, but it’s hard to get into something (or a class) if it’s not your style of reading or if you dislike writing essays.  I learned a great deal about MLA style format and wished that when I was in high school we would have learned it this way.  It might have been easier to grasp and work through.  I know that this class did prepare me for future classes where I may have to write an essay or letter.  The way I go about getting ready to write an essay or anything for that matter, I take more time at and really try and use my words more effectively.

            I am going to be a helicopter pilot, so I’m not sure if I will be writing a whole lot, but what I have learned has given me the knowledge I need to succeed in writing.  And actually what I liked most about the class was reading everyone else’s blogs.  It was nice to see such diversity, and it also helped when you got stumped and needed some guidance.  I do wish I had used the tutoring for my essays, but I got done and am happy with my progress. 

            I want to thank Ms. Cline for all the help, your notes really helped me with the essays and your class really challenged me to step out of my comfort zone.  Thank You!!
