My name is Monique Bingham and I am a student that just got done taking English 110. I took AP English in high school, the main purpose of this class was to prepare us for the AP exam (it was not mandatory that we took it) and to complete our career passport. We read many books that were commonly found on the AP exam, so it could give us a better selection and we also took many practice exams. For our Career Passport we did several short essays about our life and future career goals. This class didn’t prepare me for college so when I got here I took two classes in order to improve both my reading and writing skills to become a better college writer. We mainly focused on critiquing things and we held discussions about the things we had to read.
All English 110 classes have a theme and the one that out teacher decided to pick was “The World as a Text: Defining, Exploring and Composing Rhetoric”. Not knowing what rhetoric was I was a bit confused because at first I thought she was talking about a rhetorical question. However, with the first major project you will totally understand what it means. The best way to explain it would be to pick your favorite song or something and to try to use the song as an example of explaining something else. I know it sounds a bit confusing but you will get it as the class progresses on.
The best way to be successful in class is just to come every day and do all the projects and readings. That might sound simple but it doesn’t always happen. I do think that coming to class is very important because that is where she explains how to do everything because just trying to figure out everything on your own will not work for this class.
I hope you enjoy the class and don’t forget to go to class.
