B1 Assignment

There are several areas of English that I have improved since the beginning of the semester. Some of these areas can fall under the course strands. Not only have I gotten better in some areas, but I have also acquired some new skills. These improvements have made me a better writer and student so far this semester.
I can honestly say that I have learned many new skills in the technology category this year. One example for me this year is learning how to use My Comp Lab. I wouldn’t say that I have mastered the skills needed for My Comp Lab, but I do know how to turn in assignments. I also learned how to set up my very own blog this semester. It took me a couple weeks and several tries but I finally got it working. I now have the ability to point out visual rhetoric every time I walk to class. It hasn’t just been new skills that I have gained this year; I have had several areas of English that have gotten better. If you look at the course strands, there are many areas that have improved. Since the beginning of the year it is much easier for me to recognize ethos and pathos. I have learned new strategies when it comes to researching topics for essays. Finally, I have gotten much better at revising rough drafts and editing final products. These several improvements have helped me be a better writer and student.
I have learned a variety of different skills so far this semester in English class. I have improved in the several course strands. I have obtained so many new skills that I did not have before. Although this change is very subtle, it has made me a much better English student.
