 What English course is right for you? English 101? What key ideas were emphasized in English 101? Learning how to write in a college format and being able to formulate your thesis, the ideas, and then come up with a conclusion. We did a lot of reading, a lot of thinking, and we worked in small groups, and I really like the small groups that we worked in. My instructor always told us to slow down, reread your work, and edit every time you came across a mistake. What is different about English 101 from other English courses? I took an English 101 class many years ago, many, many years ago, like about 20 years ago. But that class is totally different from this class because it is relevant to life and everyday events and what's going on around here. And you're writing about them while learning to use the right punctuation and so forth, and learning how to set up a document. Organization, learning a little bit, pulling from the computer, kind of blending everything together, learning how to brainstorm and to be able to put it down on paper. What advice would you give to students to be successful in 101? Some of the advice that I would have for other students that come into college and so forth, I would tell them to take English first, get your English out of the way because that helps you to write a lot better and your language is more understandable, your punctuation, and everything falls into place a lot easier. Make sure you listen, be as awake as possible, you have to be awake, you have to grab all of the information you possibly can while you're in class, make sure you do your homework. Make sure you show up to class every day, listen to every detail that she gives you or your instructor gives you, and always remember to finish your work, turn it on, turn it in on time.
