Self Evaluation.

I liked writing this essay because it was a group project, I also had the opportunity to talk about a topic that i am very passionate about. Even though the topic we wrote about was not school related or about the FCAT, I feel that pornography is also something that affects us. Since we are starting to experience a new world, that of college/university, we have to be aware of the issues surrounding us. Our essay was on how pornography affects society, and i hoped that we were clear in our message, and provided enough evidence to convince an audience to take our point of view. I dont believe pornography shou;d be banned, but we do need restrictions in order to prevent child abuse, teen pregnancies and divorce. I had a lot of fun doing research, i learned many facts, things i imagined but didnt know for sure, i had to opportunity to investigate and find prove to back up my claim. I feel that some of the weaknesses of the paper are the fact that many people might try to disagree and say that pornography its not such a big issue to be worry about but hopefully after reading the entire essay they can change their point of view or at least try to accept ours. The strengths would be the facts, anecdotes, reasons we provide in the essay and the appeal to pathos we provide.
Having this class for my first semester was awesome. I enjoyed going to class. Everyday was something different. we had a lot of fun together while learning at the same time. I learned so many things about writing i had no idea about, I can truly say i dont feel so intimidated about writing a paper and thinking it will suck. After having the class, i feel more confident, I dont think im the best, i still know there is a lot of room for improvement but i do think i definitively write better than what i used to write like in high school. I liked my classmates, they were very fun and we enjoyed learning together. I loved class discussions because even though i dont like to talk a lot, through the discussions i got to hear everyone's point of view on certain issues and relate them to mine. Overall i think the class was great that's why im taking ENC 1102 with Tasha again!!!!
