The advice I would give to students in this course next semester is to never give up. I know it is very disappointing when you find out that your skills were not good enough for English 101 and you have to take a lower class instead of the one you needed but Univ 150 is a great class. Even if you come into the class as a horrible writer when you leave the class at the end of the semester you will have the skills to jump right into that next level. I thought this class would be a waste of time and just another class I had to pass to move on with the classes I really needed. However, this class has really helped me for the long run. Now when I write an essay I know what teachers are looking for. As long as you do all the work and come to class many skills can be learned. One little skill can make a big difference. The most valuable aspects of this course for me was learning that there are a lot of little skills that I needed to learn in order to make my essays be the best they can be. The least valuable aspects of this course was actually having to write essays. Even though the essays were short it was still hard having to write essays over and over. However, I do know the more you write the better you become.
