Introductory Essay 

            College comp, the one class I never looked forward to.  When I first signed up for college I wanted to do the least amount of math and English.  It turns out my program needs comp, so I had to take just once.  I soon learned that I really like Comp, I don’t know if it is because I’ve grown to be interested in improving myself or the teacher that made me like the class. 

            There are many things I have learned in Dalager’s comp class.  For example, I learned about different types of papers I can write like classification or cause and effect. I learned many different ways to make a point, and how to keep the reader interested in my paper.  I had a few road bumps on my journey through college comp.  For example, I tend to start sentences with incorrect words like “But” or “And.”  I did also put in and leave out little words.  I often had messy papers because I rushed through them and didn’t proofread.  I chose topics that I could closely relate to.  For example, I wrote papers about my favorite movie, Black Bear, and my child memories. My favorite paper to write was my “Bazooka Joe” paper.  I feel that paper was written well and it was fun to revisit those things I did when I was a kid.  My least favorite paper is the one about MTV.  I really can’t explain why, I just don’t feel it is a very good paper. The processes that work best for me was the peer review.  It helped a lot to have four different people review your paper.

            I was going into college comp thinking it was going to be my worst class.  As it turns out, I really enjoyed my comp class.  One thing I did was go into the class ready to learn something new, and I did.  I now have new skills that I will be able to use in the future.  So I do believe I have improved myself as a writer all thanks to comp….and Dalager.
