Blog # 13

The most important thing that I learned in English 101 was to revise and edit my papers. I also learned to have numerous people check over and revise my work before I summit the papers. I also learned to take more time preparing my outlines and brainstorming new ideas before starting on my rough drafts. I realized that I run out time numerously when writing my papers. Sometimes I start late and end up rushing to finish my papers. In this class my writing is a little bit different. In my other classes I write research papers and I get to choose any topics. My writing process hasn't change. The style is the same, the only thing with this class is that my papers are a lot longer.

Should on-campus drivers have to walk to class before 2:00?

On-Campus drives should be able to drive to class before 2:00. We should be able to drive on the days that it rains or when the weather is bad. It's not fair to the students when they have to walk in the rain and get sick.
