dear future english student,

one of the many things people think of when it comes to english is writing a lot of papers about books and analyzing things that make no sense. however, remember that english 110 is the most basic (i think) english class there is. sure they may be some writing involved but its usually spread out throughout the quarter that it really doesn't feel like that much. there isn't really real homework to be done, maybe you have to write a blog entry where no matter what you put you can't be wrong.

one thing that has helped me is when writing the ARP or any other type of paper, it helps to take your time when writing. don't rush the ideas out of your head just so you can be done quicker. write a few sentences, then sit on them a little bit and write a few more. This helps me make sure that im not putting down thoughts that really don't do much for my paper. it may not work for everyone but i find it helpful

that last thing i would say is just write about what you like. the arp paper provides some freedom in what you want to talk about so make sure you pick something that you find interesting. its never fun writing about something you have no interest in so think a little about what interests you and choose wisely.

thats all the advice i can really think of. this class isn't that bad.


sincerely,
me

  1. to the last line, I've been reading these blogs and theres one common theme. everyone thinks this class is borderline really easy. I agree with this. Compared to other classes most freshman will be taking, English 110 isnt going to be the worst.

  2. Yes i too agree that there is more freedom in writing what you want than the previous English classes.
