English 110

Dear Future English 110 Student,

It is definitely not difficult to be successful as an English 110 student. It is a very basic, yet helpful class. In order to be successful in these assignments, you must complete them. Follow the directions, complete them on time, and try your best. Above all, if you do nothing else, do not procrastinate. This is probably the most hypocritical piece of information I have ever given, but honestly, it pays off. Over the past couple of weeks, I have began completing assignments ahead of time. Honestly, I have not been stressed at all, my grades have significantly improved, and I get to sleep a decent amount. The most important of all these is that my grades are better of course. One cannot write an A paper when one is "bs"-ing it to get it done by the 11:59 PM deadline. I wish I would have started this trend a bit sooner, because I would not be paying for it now.

You will learn a lot in this class, not necessarily factually, but in a manner of acquiring skills. I really learned how to look at pieces of writing in an analytical way, which can be very helpful in the future. The class is also made more light-hearted and interesting because it is not always pieces of academia that are being analyzed. We watch Southpark episodes, often. Come to class prepared, always do the readings so you can participate in class discussions; you get a lot more out of it that way. All these new skills helped illuminate my process as a writer. I know this class looms as a pointless GEC, but get as much out of it as you can. It is definitely worth it.
