The 3 Points Learned in ENG 112
18 04 2008The three most important topics I learned this semester in ENG 112 are:
1. Annotating my sources. When I choose a source to use in my essay I will read them carefully 3 – 4 times and then write out to the side what I learned from them. With this information I can then create my own summary for my essay.
2. Developing a thesis. An effective thesis may take some time and drafts to fulfill a well written essay. At first one may come to mind but after thinking and re-thinking about what information may apply to an essay, a final thesis may have to be written to connect to the entire essay.
3. Works Cited using MLA. I may have to use MLA in the classes I have left in order to receive my degree. I used APA in TECH 310 and now MLA. I found out how to cite the sources and a works cited page for my research papers.
Troy, I’m an advocate of annotating so much so that I annotate my fiction books too! I’m glad you found some merit in it too! Great work this semester!
