A Reflection about Writing....

When I first learned that I would have to take a RHE 306 class, I was very scared and resistant. One of biggest weak points in school has always been the aspect of writing and grammar. In high school I always hated writing papers about abstract topics, because it never sparked any type of thought in my mind and I always felt frustrated to come up with new ideas. Basically I thought that the RHE 306 class in college would just be a carbon copy of high school, with the teacher/instructor telling you what to write about and when it is due. However, this class was totally different, we were able to debate topics and argue our ideas. Though we were given a broad topic to write about, our papers could be about millions of different ideas. And, most of all you could always write about something you felt strongly about. Also, something that I really enjoyed as far as writing papers went, is that idea of peer and instructor revision. Many times when I previously wrote papers and somebody revised it nothing really happened. Your good friend would end up revising it and say "Oh it's really good". And, I would end up turning it in with numerous mistakes. These are just a few of the things that I really enjoyed in RHE 306 as far as writing papers.
