What writing assignment did you enjoy the most?
| The writing assignment I enjoyed the most was not one of the required essays, but forum # 5. Forum # 5 had us choose from a pair of fictional topics, choose a stance and make an argument. The reason I enjoyed this writing assignment is that I used some imagination to write a couple of humorous paragraphs. |

What writing assignment gave you the most difficulty? How did you resolve the difficulty?
| The writing assignment that gave me the most difficulty was essay# 2. The purpose of essay #2 was to write a compare and contrast essay on a topic. Initially, I felt that I wrote a reasonable essay, however I received feedback on it by my instructor saying that I did not satisfy the requirements. I was able to resolve this difficulty by rereading the subject matter and get feedback and advice from my cousin and sister, who recently completed English 111. |
