My Experience in WRIT 101

My Experience in WRIT 101

Being in WRIT 101 for a quarter, I have definitely learned a lot. Not just about writing, and what I need to work on with that, but also about myself. Sounds cheesy, right? In all honesty though, this quarter has been super stressful for me and it’s definitely affected my performance in the class. So that’s why I’ve decided not to stay in the class after this quarter. I’m going to take a lot from what I learned this quarter in this class, and probably use it for a majority of my life. In just this quarter alone, I’ve picked up new writing skills and lots of things I’ve never learned. This class was super helpful and it sucks that I’m just not in the position to keep up with it.

One of the greatest things that we did first quarter, was all of the group activities. For example, when we used the big sheets of white paper, went around the room, and gave each other ideas. I thought that was super cool and very helpful. It made it easier for me to get my ideas out on the paper and visualize what I was about to write. Because that it one thing that I have a huge problem with. But now I’ve learned a few strategies that I will use a lot more often.I have never really felt comfortable writing. I always felt embarrassed to show anyone my work, because I thought it wasn’t good enough. But being in this class helped me get over that. Now I know that constructed criticism given to you by your peers should only benefit you. It will help you realize mistakes that you would have never seen. It’s good for you to put your heads together and learn things from each other.

This class is super beneficial. I’m happy I at least got a taste of it and learned a few good things that will help me with my writing. Thanks, Mrs. Baldwin!
