Over the course of this semester I don't know if I would say my writing has gotten all that much better.. because to start with I didn't have very good writing. But I have learned a lot of this semester. Coming into this class I hadn't taken a writing class since senior year of high school. When i was in high school I payed to take a college course from our local community college Herkimer county community college. It was taught in our high school by one of our 11th & 12th grade English teachers that was certified to teach us the material. This was not like AP English that a lot of high schools offer.. you don't have to pass the final or last exam to pass the class.. you just had to do well enough throughout the school year and you would pass. I think it was something like 100 a semester to take the full course, and if you passed it then you got the credit. So I came into college with 6 credits and it took care of both my CPN's that you would normally take here as a freshmen. I'm happy and not so happy that I took the course in high school.. I'm happy because everyone has said how hard CPN but I kind of wish I took it here because I've gone without taking any English courses.. and the course was soooo easy in high school. We didn't even do that much writing, it was more of a literature class, like reading the count of monte cristo and mitch albom books. I really did miss out on a lot of information by not taking it here at Cortland, and this class was really difficult for me because i thrown back into English again without even having that good of a base in it.
So overall I do think this class was good, I did learn a lot of stuff I had no idea about it was just difficult not having a good backround in college style writing.
