I would like to thank you for your commitment to this class. As a senior student at FIU, and having taken more than 150 credits in total, I can really appreciate when I get a professor that cares about what she teaches, while aiming to get the best in us. In my personal case, I have learned very good tools for researching, asking question through every source that I read, and using scholarly search engines to secure a better accuracy of information from the Internet. I have never felt passioned about words, I used to prefer numbers than words, but because of this class I realized how many gramatical errors and lack of importance I was given to the language and in response I started to ask people what could I do to improve my english skills. Without noticing, I was using the tools that I learned on ENC 1102 to achieve a personal goal. The results of my research projects was that, in order to improve my english skills, I need to read books in english (no matter what kind of book) and do grammar exercises, which can be found on the Grammar Lab Website of FIU. At the end of the semester, I am still making a lot of gramatical mistakes, but my essays and my grammar are much better than before; there is still a long path for me to learned the English language, but if I keep doing what I am doing right now, I will get there in no time, and I will be able to present research papers at work or case studies in a very professional style.
Best regards!
