Not wanting to sound like an entire suck up but I'll give it a shot. I do believe Mr. P. has our best interest in mind. I know for me 101, and so far in 102 its giving me a bit more confidence in writting papers at the level were at, college. If the class goes like it did in 101 we will all show a drastic improvement.
The scores on my essays in his English 101 class weren't as high as I wanted them to be. So I'm going to do my best to write better papers this quarter.
I admit it. I didnt like this book.. I did ok on my paper, but since my heart wasnt in it, I could have done alot better. O well, I really like this next book so I am sure it will all improve for me.
I actually liked Nickel and Dimed, but probably only because it was easy to get into. And compared to how I felt I performed on my essay, I got a pretty good score. What I'm worried about, though, is the next essay. TWIF is so hard for me to get into. But not because it's boring--it's actually kind of interesting. But because of the page-long sentences and his "simple" way of explaining things that are really just simple ways of confusing me.
Lets just say I earned the grade I got on my essay. Even though I liked the topic I wasn't able to put my full attention on it. It was because of school and I didn't dive head first into the subject and I neglected it for too long.
I wasn't happy with the grade I got either. However, I am glad that he fully explained the whole paper and his notes to me. Hopefully I will be able to do better on this next paper.
