Dear Professor Agosta,

During this course I think my writing and writing process have really
improved from the start of the year. Coming into this class I had written papers that
needed research but I never really taken them too seriously. This class got me
interested in my research topic, which was my math class that I have been a part of
for an entire semester. I dont know why I was so interested in it because I had been
in several math classes before and never really cared about how people interacted
in that class differed from the interaction in other classes. I really enjoyed taking a
closer look at how people communicate differently between student and teacher
conversations within the class period. Overall I think this project helped me to
develop a research habit to help me in the future on similar topics.
The diverse types of writing we have performed in the class has also helped
my not only in research writing but also in other types, such as, journaling, peer
responding, narratives, memos, and annotated bibliography. These things will carry
me throughout the rest of my college career because in my major I will be writing
several different pieces and I now have been introduced to several of them in this
one class. Some of these writing pieces were the first I had ever seen, consisting of,
journaling and annotated bibliography. I knew the concept of a journal and what it
was for but I was never required to do various journal entries on certain topics of a
class. Also, I had never even heard of an annotated bibliography, I didnt even know
what it was or what it consisted of. This class in my opinion was the most beneficial
class of my first semester in college for these reasons alone.
In my opinion the most beneficial things I have taken from this class is how
to write a method section, peer responses, and how to do research on a real life
community. The method section I wrote for this class was the first one I had ever
written. This was not an easy task because I didnt really understand the content of
what was supposed to be in the section. But after peer responses I was able to
improve my understanding and then change what needed to be changed to better
my writing. Researching a community was also not an easy task. I had researched
things on the Internet and knew how to do that very well but I had never been asked
to research/observe a class and then write a research piece on the class. This in its
self was a great lesson for me and I am glad I learned how to do that in this class.
Overall I enjoyed this class and learned a lot of new valuable lessons that I
will use the rest of my time here at college to better my writing and better
understand certain topics.
Sincerely,

Ryan Crotts
