My Reflection

Going into this semester,  I didn't know what English 102 was going to be like.  I didn't know if it was going to incorporate stuff that we learned in English 101 or if it was going to be completely different.  But at the end of the semester, I really learned a lot about myself during this semester of English.  I can say that this class in general really helped me with my writing and thinking skills throughout the semester with different classes that I took.

There was definitely a few changes that I noticed in my writing during this semester.  One of the things that I noticed in my writing was that I was able to have strong ideas in my papers and publish writings and was able to back up ideas with strong concrete examples to back up those ideas I had.  The second thing that I noticed was I was able to have a flow with both my papers and my publish writings and not have the examples and ideas all over the place. On the other hand,  I have made some improvements as a thinker and as a writer.  By having the workshops in the class and getting different ideas from different people really helped my getting ideas for the class and also helped with getting examples for my writing assignments.

This class had a ton of things going on like doing the publish writings on the blog, preparing for fishbowls, lectures, doing papers, and having workshops with groups and having presentations to do for the class,  but there was one thing was probably my favorite thing in the class and that was the fishbowls that we had. These fishbowls were very helpful and very interesting to hear different thoughts and ideas from different scholars. With what I learned this past semester, I can definitely see myself using some of the ideas I had from this class and incorporate these in other classes.
