Hi, my name is Zee. Im taking this course to help me in the future. I hope to just grasp more of an understating and improve my writing. I'm most nervous about the online structure being that I know I do better with in-person one on one help when needed.

Hi Zee!

I am only an email away. Some of the assignments will feel familiar, but I did change them up a bit.

Hello everyone, my name is Juan Diego Celis, I am 21 years old and I'm a transfer from the University of Montevallo AL. I'm looking forward to learn how to write and improve my reading habits. Since English is not my first language. But I still want to learn and improve the way we communicate and express our ideas, good luck to everyone.

Hi! My name is Deitre. I am taking this class for part of my required classes. I am

excited to improve my writing skills and be better at writing in future classes.

I always get nervous learning new skills and taking new classes.

Hi I’m Lesly Duarte and I’m 21 years old. I am a mother of a little 6 month old. I am taking this summer class to replace a grade. I’m excited to continue school and learn more ways to improve my writing and analysis. I get very nervous about completing writing assignments due to not feeling creative.

Hi Lesly!

Welcome! I am sure it's a lot to take a class with a small baby, so kudos to you! Don't be nervous; I am here to help you anytime. Feel free to reach out to me in email or blackboard. :) Happy Belated Mother's Day!

Hi Juan Diego!

lcollander1 — 2024-05-13 19:05:49 UTC

Welcome to the class! It is so impressive that you speak and write in two languages- that's one more than me ;) Please reach out to me anytime on Blackboard or through Email and I will be happy to help you.

Hi Deitre!

Welcome to the class! Writing can be scary for lots of people; you are not alone :) I am here to help and you can send me drafts of anything before the deadline, so don't be nervous. Writing is just thinking aloud on paper ( or computer).

Hey everyone, my name is Kyle and I'm taking this class as part of my required classes. I hope to improve my creativity, and perspective and learn to become a better writer. I am most nervous about misinterpreting some of the readings as that is something I've struggled with in the past.

Tammy

Hello! My name is Tammy and I'm taking this course as part of the required courses for my degree in Education. It has been many years since I've taken a college writing course. I first hope to remember the basics and then learn how to improve. I write many emails to parents daily but that's about the extent of my writing. I tend to overthink word selections and sentence structures which hinders my efficiency. This is what I'm most nervous about in this course.

Hi Tammy!

2024-05-14 13:30:03 UTC

I love that you are studying to be a teacher! I understand coming back to school after many years; don't worry, I am here to help anytime!

Hi Kyle!

2024-05-14 13:31:12 UTC

Welcome to the class! The readings are pretty accessible and high interest so hopefully you enjoy them and feel comfortable. Let me know if you need clarification on anything you read; I am here to help!

Hello everyone! My name is Kane and I am 19 years old. I am taking this class to replace a grade. I am not the best writer, so I hope to gain some skills. I am nervous about my writing skills. I am not a confident writer.

Hi Kane!

2024-05-14 18:19:33 UTC

I am glad you are working to replace your grade in a previous class. Writing can be hard for lots of students. I am here to help you so make sure you ask anytime you aren't sure and send me drafts of your writing before the due date and I will give you feedback.

Brandon

Hello, my name is Brandon. I am a full-time Dad/Student/Employee working toward my BBA. I chose to take this course to further improve my writing ability as well as my written communication skills. I'm not sure there is anything to be nervous about, however, the briefness of this course and the schedule I have to juggle causes me to stress! Just making sure I can give myself time to give each assignment 100% can sometimes be a challenge.

Hi Brandon!

2024-05-14 20:13:39 UTC

Welcome to the course! Being a fulltime working parent and student is impressive! I too am a working parent so I understand how difficult it can be to find the time. I am more than happy to answer emails or schedule a zoom call after normal hours if you need that. Reach out anytime :)
