English 111 Reflection Paper
When I originally was registering my class choices for the Fall 2016 semester, I considered English 111 to be an undemanding course that I
could pass without a lot of effort on my behalf. I had no trouble passing prior English courses, years ago, so I felt this course would be similar.
What I had not anticipated was how much I honestly could learn, such as: how you should properly cite sources, how you should suitably prove
your thesis and how you can accurately set up the flow of a paper. Although, the most informative part of English 111, for me, has been absorbing

As I have looked back over my Humanities papers that I submitted, I realize that I could have vastly improved each paper had I relied on my
knowledge from English 111 and the new styles we studied throughout the course. Most of the papers I turned in to my Humanities course
literally followed the prompt the instructor provided us, instead of creating a thesis and mapping out a flow of ideas in a sensible order.
While I answered the questions my instructor asked of me for each paper, in my opinion there is no proper style or coherent flow by the
standards that were taught in English 111. I believe if I had rearranged my paper for my Humanities paper to follow any of the styles we were
taught in this class, it would have flowed with an improved rhythm and sounded a bit more scholarly, possibly. In English 111, the citation style
taught to students is the MLA format, whereas in Humanities courses a student will use APA formatting style for papers. This was difficult for
me to remember the differences between the two styles. I became so accustomed to implying the MLA citation skills on papers that when I
needed to turn in a paper for my Humanities I had to focus and be aware of the APA formatting styles and not employee the MLA
