My thoughts on ENC1101

During my first summer at FSU I took ENC1101. My experience with ENC1101 was an alright experience, I viewed it more as a job than a unique way to broaden my writing. The assignments in ENC1101 ranged from Short Story to Crots to journal writing. I hated doing the journal writings because they were really dull and dealt with literature that wasen't exactly the most interesting type I have read. What I liked about the class was the writing the Crots paper because I really learned how to make my writings better with each draft and looking at the final product and comparing it with the orginial showed me how much of a better writing I can be by doing multiple drafts. We also had to do peer commenting both on the internet and in class and the teacher set a rule that you had to have a mandatory of three comments per page of the person's work to get full credit. This I didn't like because in many cases the page itself was great or didn't have anything to improve on and you had to force yourself to find a minscule detail to critic. On the other hand, the peer commentary and teacher conferences really helped improve my writing by cleaning up parts that I didn't need and improving the way I explained myself to improve my works. Ovearll, ENC1101 was different from my high school English classes in that it focused more on my writing and work and how I could improve it rather than reading literature and taking tests or writing papers on certain types of literature.
