Journal Entry 1

My experience in my ENC1101 class was simple and easy. It was too easy to the point I really didn't learn much. In a way I liked the fact it was an easy class but then again I didn't because I wanted to learn more and I knew that I needed to know more. To be honest Mrs. Warren I really didn't gain very much from my professor. The way my class was structured was we would come in class to hear my professor read from a few chapters in our book, do team work activities, listen to a couple of his life stories, watch movies, basically not learning about English. I need a lot of assistance in English. I really need to refresh my memory on how to write a good essay, make my vocabulary stronger than what it already is, also how to use proper grammar and how to stay on topic and not to get off topic while writing an essay. I never got taught how to use MLA format, APA style, and any type of writing tools for an essay.   I really hope this time in English I can learn a lot. I don’t want a professor who just lectures and really doesn't give us any work or just let us get an easy grade just because we showed up to class. I actually want to learn to write an essay with perfection. I really look forward to learning a lot in my new English class.
