Review of the Class

After first semester of College Career Literacy I had to take Senior Composition. When I heard that I was taking Senior Composition I wasn’t so happy because I knew that all we would be doing in the class is writing essays. However, a couple weeks into the class I started liking the class because the teacher, Mr. Hessert was awesome and half the time we were messing around, learning, and having a good time.

At the beginning of the semester we first worked on four papers. They were hard and very time consuming. Even though I thought at first that the papers were pointless, when I finished all of them and learned about all the different kinds of writings. For example, I learned how to describe a place with the utmost detail and write a great analysis of Who Killed the Electric Car.

The Newsweek and independent reading time were honestly pretty boring. It wasn’t very effective because most of time I was just staring a page and waiting for the class to be over. Then, the Evergreen book was helpful in learning some concepts like how to write definition essays but we could have learned that without the book as well. So the Evergreen wasn’t very effective.

Blogging was by far the best class activity we did in Senior Composition. It taught me many things like what a blog actually is and since I did a technology blog I learned about new technology advancements. After the first two blogs is became very easy to write them and it was very fun. The lab time and class time was also very effective in getting most of the work done in school so we wouldn’t have to worry about it at home.

Over all the class activities we did everything worked out for me except the Newsweek, independent reading and the Evergreen book. The most important thing I learned in the class was writing papers that colleges would approve and writing essays with a lot of details.
