(70) future students

Dear English 110.01 student,

You are probably thinking one or more of the following:
1)      1) I hate science fiction
2)     2)  I’m already good at English I don’t need this
3)     3)  Blogging everyday is going to be such a pain

I know this because those are the exact same things I thought during the first day of this class. After going through the whole course, I can honestly say that those three ideas were completely altered. (Well, maybe 2 of the 3). I’m still not really into science fiction, but I’m definitely more open to watching it now. Dollhouse was a pretty interesting series, and I would highly recommend it for the academic research paper. From the comments and feedback from my teacher and peers, I realized that I’m not nearly as amazing at English as I thought I was. Remember that there’s always room for improvement. Blogging started off as being really annoying, but once you get used to it, 250 words isn’t bad at all. It really helps you practice your writing skills and be more aware of your grammar and spelling. I suggest the following things to pass this course:

1)     1) Stay on top of your work. Do all the blogs, comments, memos, etc. The points can really rack up, and it secures your grade.
2)      2) Go to the writing center. I failed to do this enough and only got 2 extra credit points, so I highly suggest that you don’t follow me.
3)    3)  Consider feedback. Take all of the constructive criticism into consideration and use it to improve your paper.

Good luck, and take it easy!

Sincerely,
Former English 110.01 Student
