Class Review

The spring semester of 2015, I took the English 187. In overall the class was great. However, I think there were too much Chinese speakers. Therefore, I think the writing, listening and reading I could learn more, but in the speaking I barely used English. I learned many things by writing each essay and recording the errors. It was a new way to see and understand where was my most common mistake in the writing process. I think a good idea for this class is to read an English book and write resume or having quizzes about it. This way I could improve my vocabulary and my reading speed in English. The research paper was a little complicated for me because I miss some important classes about how to write a research paper. The research paper was long and at same time sort. Once we started to write, the time was flying away and all exams and projects were coming along. I did not organize myself to write this paper in time. In addition, I did not really put effort in the first, second drafts. I think I am almost prepared for the college writing. I do not have the confidence to say that I am really because sometimes I still make some silly mistakes in grammar and spelling. I think I should have given more attention to this class to have a higher grade. Comparing to the previous semester I think I put more effort, but it was not enough. In summer, I will take the English 150 with Native American speakers it will be a challenge for me, but I think it will highly increase my quality of writing to be more mature and smooth. I really liked the class even sometimes there were too much work. Thank you professor Crystal.
