Letter to future English 110ers

Dear future English 110ers,
For me, this is a very interesting English writing class. Having to write the ARP is really no problem, but the way the syllubus have us write a research paper is very interesting. I had never writen a paper that I had analyzed something before I started doing any research on it. As weird as it sounds, it actually works. Having analyzed something before you do any research gives directions of how research is done and so the point you're trying to come acroos in the paper would be more precise as research is done according or following your original thesis of the paper. BUT, don't be afraid to change your thesis at all in the course of several drafts. Another interesting exercise was to refine our thesis in the end of the paper writing process rather than coming up with a topic at first and stick with it. You would find that the paper becomes a lot smoother. A very helpful resource of this class is actually the textbook. I know, I hate reading textbooks, too. but there are actually some pretty useful stuff in it. And the book is really easy to read as I think the author would probably taken the fact that college students don't really like reading into account. But yeah, "the method" in the first portion of the course from Writing Analytically was kind of useful for me to start my first draft of the ARP. So do the reading, it helps

Good Luck, i'm sure you'll be fine
