Course overview

Writing 150… What to say… Well first of this was an English class, which automatically drops my opinion of it severely. Disregarding that fact the class itself was fairly enjoyable. Although the readings were always the last thing I wanted to do some of them did prove helpful, such as the articles on voice. If there is one thing that I learned this year it was that you can appropriately put your voice into your writing without being unprofessional. I also learned that different styles of writing make different types of voice appropriate. This changed my earlier writings were I figured that writing was writing and what wasn’t allowed in one place was taboo no matter the audience. Although I personally find the subjects of English and writing boring and uninteresting I do have to give Sister Elliott credit for keeping me interested and paying attention throughout the classes, and at the same time getting me to learn something, no matter how much I resisted. One thing I probably should have worked more on, and that I still am not entirely sure of, is what qualifies as a run-on sentence. I understand that for the most part my sentences are very long and wordy, yet since elementary school I have never really known the correct way to create good, flowing sentences without predominantly using commas. All in all Writing 150 has probably been my most enjoyable experience with an English class, although my opinion on the subject still has not changed I was able to have as enjoyable time as a writing course may allow, and I learned something too.
