7. Please identify what you consider to be the strengths of this Composition class?
Doubtlessly, I learn how to write long essay in the Composition class. In addition, Class Wiki is a great method of learning for me. Whenever I have problem on writing, I can find the answer there. Also, Pbworks collects all my works in this class, which is well-organized and just great! I love the style of teaching; we are in a cozy atmosphere and gaining the knowledge at the same time. Finally, the techniques we learn in this class is so practical! For example, video resume, CANVA (gosh I love canva!), meetingwords etc.

There's no. But if there must be one... I guess it will be the class time. (8 o'clock in the morning is too demanding lol)
9. What writing task you did in this class would you recommend for future students? Why?
Rhetorical analysis essay. It will help students develop their critical thinking, which is a must for students who study literature.
10. Feedback for other students: What advice would you give to another student who is considering taking this class?
Pay attention to class, then you will learn a lot from it.
Be sure to hand in the paper or any homework on time, so you won't fall behind.( I got rhyme!)
Practice makes perfect. Don't be lazy to write!
