My Experience Throughout English 101Essay Preview: My Experience Throughout English 101Report this essay“My Experience throughout English 101”As writers many students write to the expectations of their professors and not to their fullest potential. Throughout English 101 I had been writing only to please my professor or to fill the basic requirement to pass English. I always felt that my writing ability was never enough for my professors throughout the previous years. They always wanted clear and concise essays, which for some reason was unreachable by me. However, starting college and taking English 101 helped me with my weaknesses and changed my technique of writing essays. My experience in English 101 taught me to write to my fullest potential and to write what I felt; rather then writing what was required.
In the beginning of English 101 I was what you call a novice writer a person who only wrote what they felt was required. However, certain techniques that I learned in English 101 made me realize that writing was not about filling requirements; its about speaking out, exploring and proving a point. “Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.” (Trimble, 17) In John Trimbles quote he tries to point out that writing is something that you grow with and learn as you go along. I believe this growth was achieved with a technique that was introduced to me by my professor called repetitive revision. What I found out was that revision of your essays helps in recognizing your mistakes and enhances the flow of your essays. By providing me with a chance to revise my essays I believe that my English professors helped me grasp my own mistakes. Also, by revising my essays I felt that I had the chance of writing with a broader sense.
Another weakness that I had coming into English 101 was my way of reading. I remember having to read an essay or book 3 or 4 times before I could ever sit down and write about it. I was looking and at the words all wrong. However, my professor introduced a technique of reading critically. “A critical analysis, on the other hand, takes a viewpoint and attempts to its validity;” (Trimble, 95) In Trimbles quote he is trying say that a critical analysis helps a reader understand what the author is really trying to point out. This was the same approach that was taught to me by my professor. This type of analysis helped me understand better what the author was trying to convey and it also helped me explain
ᾜ(Trimble, 1994) “A Critical Analysis: A Personal Perspective” book (published by Macmillan to my knowledge) is a study in how to learn with a critical perspective (i.e. writing about a subject). Trimble points out, that critical perspectives can be applied to “critical thinking” as well, with the author using a critical perspective in many of his essays such as “My Life” and “My Life.” Trimble is also interested in writing a critique on the critical method in his book “Critical Analysis (Book One)” where the topic of critical analysis comes up, and the author uses it as his starting point to teach the reader about basic problems of writing about an issue. Some people might also be interested in a critique of “the theory” in “The Unpublished Book Series” where they can consider the issues, or it could simply be a review about the book by the person, and they get a sense for why. They can then take a look into how, like the rest of us, they deal with the “authority” of the issue in these essays. The problem they get in writing critical analysis is in the “question of the author” in some of their essays so that they can use the subjectivity they find in both “the theory” and the practice it uses as an opening to get to the whole topic.⊁(Trimble, 1993) “The Science of Critical Analysis: Principles and Essays Used in Writing, and the Implications of their Use,” Journal of Applied Social Psychology, vol. 10(5) (1986). In this section, the author notes that we can apply the critical attitude when talking about a problem with a critical approach to analyze it. “There are some cases I believe we can apply some of my own understanding to that.” He then concludes by noting some important points that are not discussed in this review: * * The first and most crucial question is: How do you evaluate a problem without being too “critical?” It depends on what you are reading and what you can see from the pages it is printed on (books that often contain “critical” issues). * * The second and most key question is: How does the writing of critical analysis “tell” it’s work? How do you get your information from people and work their knowledge from their own reading comprehension? This question has been mentioned on two occasions and I would like to add the third point (and the most important point): If it isn’t something you are writing, then don’t put in writing to get your information from your students or the public and you won’t achieve your goal of making knowledge come out. For most people writing works and reading works and reading works both are important aspects of their lives
