What I learned about myself as a reader and writer is that there’s still a lot of things that I need to learn. Until now I was just an ordinary writer but as the course approaches the end I believe there’s still more I need to learn in order to become a good writer and a reader. Before when I would read anything, I would just read it just to do my assignment. As I was in this English course and started doing different reading assignments I started to find out more about the purpose behind being a good reader. Good readers not only just read the assignment, they also try to apply it to real life and how it connects to us. Coming back to what I learned as a writer during this semester was the more you check your work and correct it, the better it gets. For example, this semester when we did the first draft, I noticed my writing wasn’t that good or well set, after correcting it off and finishing it nicely for me the final draft made more sense. I have become a better version of myself in both ways, a writer and a reader. I have learned how to properly cite someone’s work, not only how to MLA citation properly. Also, when we find a quote from a source on how to organize it by putting my thoughts and then how to wrap it up. As a reader, what I learned is how to connect characters in real life and how that makes it so easy for us to understand the concept. We did 3 types of writing assignments this whole semester. All of the writing assignment has taught something different. It taught me how this one piece of concept connects to my own life, how different resources related to the topic can make us a better writer and many more.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
