What I've gained from comp english

I have gained a lot of knowledge from this English class. First off all I have become a better writer. I have also become more efficient at writing, this is probably because in high school we didn't write this many papers in this short of a time for one class. This has helped me become able to sit down and write a paper when it is assigned rather than putting it off.

Another thing that I will take away from this class is research skills. In high school we never learned anything about scholarly articles, we just took stuff we found off the internet and put it in our papers. It is a good thing to know how to find scholarly articles because using them makes your paper look more professional and it also makes it more convincing. I think knowing where to find scholarly articles will be a big help in the future.

Learning about MLA was also something very helpful. We learned about MLA in high school but I better understand it now. MLA is one of those things that you can't learn without doing it. Using MLA format for our papers was a good refresher. I think its good that we are learning about it because it will definitely help all of us in our future class and careers.
