Reflection

I found ENGL 100 probably the toughest course out of my first term in university. The readings assigned were far beyond the reading and comprehension level I’ve experienced before. I found the online format a little bit disappointing, for a class like English I definitely prefer in class discussions where I can discuss with my peers and teacher more directly about the concepts being introduced. Although I still enjoyed the thought-provoking ideas the readings provided, I just wanted more communication and connection to engage my comprehension of the subjects. I think I improved on structuring essays this term, before I generally would just write straight and wordy. My writing style was more like a transcript of my ramblings. This term I tried to be more conscious of having a clear structure in my essays. My favourite part of this course was talking about the final essay topics with my peer review partner. It was very beneficial and uplifting to talk to someone about the topics we were passionate about!
