End of Quarter One

First quarter went pretty well for me. I had some struggles with figuring out how to write a good thesis, but I'm a lot more confident with that now. Another thing I learned was how to write an essay. My organization skills are very much improved. I believe the classroom environment was relaxed enough so it was easy for me to not be stressed and learn easier. Nobody likes lecture after lecture.

For quarter 2 I think that if I put more time into my writing and have fewer distractions, they'll turn out better. I hope to improve my writing and analyzing skills further, and even though I'm more confident with thesis statements since the beginning of the year I still need work with them. I'm also going to try to participate more in in class discussions.

Hey Anne! I agree about the thesis statements- I feel like I've gotten a lot more confident in those as well. I look forward to reading more of your writing this quarter. Woo hoo ethics paper!

Anne- I could definitely relate to what you wrote about thesis statements. I also need to work on my analytical skills, too, so I really enjoyed reading your paragraph. Good job!

I'd love to have you participate more during class discussions. I agree with you that if you spend more time on your writing, it can only improve!
