When I first began my English 1102 class with Dr. McGinnis, I was very uncertain if I was going to understand the work that we had to do during the class, and if I was going to be able to handle it. Walking into the class on the first day, and obtaining all of the classwork that we needed to do made me immediately want to give up. Although I wanted to, Dr. McGinnis was very helpful. In the course of English 1102, I thought it would be a basic, same old English class, but it wasn't. Our topic for the semester was based on the Oppression of Women. I found it unique and that it wasn't all about writing an essay on multiple different topics.
The coursework completed in this class lead to following projects I and my group members had to complete. The coursework helped me prepare for our projects. The outcomes of the coursework we had not only showed myself, but my group members how to make sure our sources were scholarly, and relevant to the topic, analyzation, brainstorming, self-revision, as well as others revision, learned how to make graphs, and use excel, how to make an ePortfolio, how to insert information, and pictures as well. I see myself using this coursework in future classes, and in my future workplace. Learning the coursework has shown up in other classes, as well as my job today. It is very beneficial to already know the information needed. The course outcome that supports the coursework done in English 1102 would be how I have use excel at my job on a daily basis. I also had other classes that had to do with what I learned to in English 1102.
One of the most important things I have learned in English 1102 would be how to identify if news on " social media" were fake or not by analyzing the sources, and using google to see if the work was photoshopped, plagiarized or if it was true. Another thing that was important to me was revision and presentation. Presentation is a really hard thing to me due to social anxiety. It has helped me improve speaking in front of others. Revision is also important to me, because it has helped me find multiple errors in many papers, and projects that I have had to complete. This English 1102 class has helped me learn in many ways, that will benefit my future self.
