Brison Blog Post #2:


When considering how I have composed papers in the past it is almost certain that I can learn a great deal about composing literature from this class. From the very beginning of my literary career I have written many research papers, journal, fictional stories, poetry, a couple of resumes, and countless lab reports. I have taken many english classes through out high school as well as a teacher cadet class that introduced various types writing assignments such as journal and resumes. As I first began to write papers I disliked writing them very much, but the more I was required to complete composition assignments the more my instructors told me the easier they would become. I pray this class will not prove them wrong. When I did writing in the past I thought I had an excellent foundation for future English and accelerated composition courses such as this one. After reading and discussing these first few chapters it is apparent that I still have a lot to learn and improve upon. Throughout the duration of this course I hope that I will learn many new compositional techniques that will advance my knowledge within the literary world. I want to further improve my writing skills by learning how to incorporate rhetorical thinking and situations into my work as an author. Another valuable skill that I wish to gain from this course is learning how to analyze arguments appropriately and also learn better strategies for arguing. I feel that this educational course on accelerated composition is the best way to achieve these goals.

  1. A terrific statement about your goals, Brison. You will be exposed to a range of discourse communities in this class -- from hybrid writing, to professional writing, scholarship, and more. You'll be able to employ literary techniques to your scholarly writing, but this is not a literature course.
