Solution to ENG-105: English Composition I - Summary of Current Course Content Knowledge.

SAMPLE 1

Hello class,

After reviewing the course objectives for each topic, I realize that I have some prior knowledge in certain areas, while others are entirely new to me. In Topic 1, I have some experience summarizing documents, particularly in my nursing studies where I often need to analyze complex medical information. However, I have to admit that I am less familiar with close reading techniques, and I look forward to improving my skills in this area. Additionally, I have a basic understanding of analyzing writing for audience and purpose as highlighted in topic 2, and I am excited to learn more about concepts like genre and style. Nonetheless, I feel that writing a rhetorical analysis may be a new challenge for me,  so as conducting a peer review.

I also have limited experience with visual rhetoric analysis and proper citation methods in Topic 3. As an Emergency Room (ER) nurse, I often need to interpret visual data quickly, so enhancing my visual analysis skills will be beneficial. Moreover, improving my citation skills will also help me in future academic pursuits and in understanding medical research papers. Topics 4 and 5, focusing on reviews and evaluation, are areas where I have some practical experience from my work. As a nurse, I often need to evaluate situations and make critical assessments. However, formalizing this process in writing will be a new and valuable experience. I would also like to point out that the objectives in Topics 6 and 7 regarding commentaries are also entirely new to me.

I am eager to discuss how the writing skills we will learn through the course can be applied in healthcare settings. For instance, how can rhetorical analysis techniques improve patient communication? Additionally, I am also curious about strategies for managing time effectively while completing these writing assignments alongside my work and other studies. Nevertheless, I am excited about the course and look forward to enhancing my writing and analytical skills.
