English 102 is critical thinking, writing, and research paper. I have learned basic essay structure, strategies for effective research, and other skills that develop the skills necessary for forming and analyzing arguments. English 102 is more challenges I faced, including critical thinking skills, research skills, and cited sources. During this semester, I learned types of writing techniques, different MLA forms, and how to find and use the right sources together. I have gained more knowledge, and better confidence, showing how much I understood from the articles when I write the essay assignment.
English 102 class allowed me to improve my overall knowledge of the language. We have more articles to read than ever before. We read textbooks and articles on the website in class together, and also read at home before the next class and answer discussion questions. I did a research paper about college education, and we were allowed to choose a topic of our interest. There were many steps to the audience paper: I have to write a good introduction with background information, including a thesis, three supporting arguments, one opposing argument, and a conclusion. This assignment explains for whom the article is intended, and how it appeals to that audience. Looking back at my papers, I don’t have a good thesis and I made some grammar mistakes in some of my essays. My professor helped me with how to use comma splices and quotation marks, and how to divide long sentences.

I have learned MLA format to write a research paper. I used the sources from the article to support the thesis statements in my essay. After I had used the sources, I needed in-text citations and MLA format. At first, I didn’t do well with how to properly write work cited pages. My professor helped me understand more about work cited and use MLA format because it will help the reader avoid plagiarism from the source documents. I did not understand much of the MLA format, until I glanced at my book again, noting only that, but my organization and details in my essay were irrelevant to the topic I had chosen. Later, my professor gave me feedback to help me know what I need to improve.
I have learned another important element of an essay is a thesis statement. In the essay ‘Toulmin Analysis’, a thesis statement such as claim and reason in this assignment. It attracts the reader's attention and just only one sentence. I had a hard time developing the essay structure because I didn't understand how to use logos, pathos, and ethos to support my essay. My professor allows me to rewrite the essay because I did not follow the instructions After I rewrote it, I felt that my ability to form my thesis argument has become stronger. This semester, English class focuses on the creation of the thesis statement and the effective manner most appropriate for each essay. English class helped me to easily build a dissertation and thesis better.
English 102 class was not easy for me, but I got through it. Over the course of the semester, I feel as though I improved my grammar errors, but I feel I could use more practice with it. Now, I know how to do the MLA format correctly and how to cite my sources. I also learn how to have a thesis statement in an essay. In the future, I hope to bring all the skills I have gained in my English courses. I think they will be very helpful for me, no matter what I am trying to achieve. I feel that I am much better now at convincing someone through my articles, which will definitely be useful in my career. The responsibility I had in this experience was incredible and taught me to become a much more organized person. During this semester, I was faced with deadlines, rules, and exercises that I could not work around. I feel that all these responsibilities have made me realize that I can definitely take the next step in my academic career. Every new experience I participate in keeps me growing and constantly learning new things. I have really enjoyed my English classes and knowing what I have learned will be extremely beneficial.
