Advice for students next year

As many people know, there are many classes in college and school in general that are often forced to be taken against the persons will to fill their graduation requirements. And the writing class at Denver is no different. Although it is vital to growing in intelligence and preparing us for our future careers, it is so time consuming and boring to the average student. Waking up and heading to writing class for the next two hours is not fun to the average eighteen or nineteen year old. But at the end of the quarter its one of those things you’re glad you did. It’s a lot of hard work so don’t expect to get an automatic A in the class but you will learn something. You will get to learn about ethos, pathos and logos and understand how to do all kinds of paper writings. It’s pretty cool.
Some advice I would give to students next year is to just have an open mind and go into the class putting in a lot of effort. Try to do the best work you can on all of your writings and try to really do the best you can in the class. If you put in a lot of effort and try hard enough you will take a lot out of the course and learn things to help you for the rest of your life. You don’t want to go on through college and not have mastered how to write a rhetorical analysis. It’s best to get all this extra practice down so it comes as second nature in the future and can apply the techniques you learn to other class for future writing assignments. So even thought the class is tedious and unexciting, it is very necessary and you might even enjoy the class.
