Why I Am A Good Writer

I think I am a good writer because I bring my writing to life. I bring my writing to life with many examples relating to the topic I am talking about. I also feel I am a good writer because I organize my writing into the sequence that I will introduce it in my paragraphs. When writing I can usually write about any topic even if it does not interest me. I am also a good writer because I have attended Composition and Research with Danielle who has pushed me and taught me new ideas to enhance my writing techniques.

If I Had My First Semester to Do Over Again, I Would Do....

If I could do my first semester over again I would change a few things. I would change my study habits and the way I study. Another thing I would change is the way I manage my time and the different extra circular activities I participate in. This semeste I have recieved many parking tickets. I will change my flaws to make next semseter even better.

My study habits were good for high school, but not for college. I should practice studying with the tel vision and my cell phone turned off. Another tip I have to do is not only skim the chapter, but actually read word for word the text. I also would change waiting until the night before to study. I should have done a little a day so I did not have to cram. Studying is an important part of college that I need to get a better grip on.

Many of times I have put off my work for the last minute. I would procrastinate all week and then the night before an assignment was due I would have to stay up late at night to complete it. I would also work a little too much during the week and I should have been on campus minimizing my work load. Good time management is something I will improve for next semester.

I wish I could change how many parking tickets I have recieved this semester. I want to change myself from being so lazy and park my car where it is suppose to be. I could have save a lot of money, but instead I choose to become lazy. I am suppose to park in the freshman lot, but I usually park in the upper classmen lot and get tickets. I will not do this next semester because I am going to park where I should.

I wish I could do my first semester over again. I think I would be more successful than what I am. I would work to my potential that I know I can and not procrastinate with my work, manage my time, and recieve no parking tickets. I will learn from my mistakes and make next semster even better.

I Wish I Knew About

My first semester of college was filled with many obstacles that I had to overcome. I wish I would have been able to know more about the classes. College classes are totally different from high school classes and one reason is because professors use power points and lecture as their methods of teaching. In a few of my classes many of the professors moved at a rapid paced. In college class periods are at least fifty minutes long. I know I could have avioded some of my obstalces that I had if I would have had more knowledge about college classes.

Professors basically always use power points and lectures to teach their students the material they need to know. In high school my teachers used numerous methods like games, lectures, power pints, worksheets, and work from the book. This class structure that my professors use was a drastic change for me that I had to cope with fast. Using power points and lectures is not the easiest method of learning for me. I had to learn how to pull information from the power points or lectures that I thought would be the key points.

In class instructors nearly swamp students with a lot of information that is important. They also do this at a rather speedy pace. When instructors present information to students they are talking very fast and flying through the material. They try to squeeze about a week worth of work into a fifty minute class session. This can get very stressful for me to try to keep up to their pace. In class you really have to open your ears and pay attention to the information being brought forth.

Class periods in college are at least fifty minutes long. In high school classes were only forty minutes long. This was a change for me because I was not use to sitting this long and having to pay attention to a lecture. I wish I would have known about class sessions being this long so I could have better prepared myself. It sounds silly only a ten minute difference, but I makes a big difference especially if you are not use to the long length of time.

Classes are a huge part of college and being adjusted to them is a big help. Knowing how to tackle a course to the best of my ability is a weakness that I will work on for next semester. College is a big trial and error period and I have to learn from my mistakes that I make.
