Grade Evaluation

I feel, after taking this course that I have a really firm grasp on the subject of rhetoric, considering that I knew nothing of it coming into the classroom for the first time. I have made progress in my writing as well as my understanding of concepts and ideas in the material we have covered. Honestly, I feel as though my grade has remained the same from the midterm evaluation, which is a B. This is due to the consistency of my work. However, this does not mean I have not made progress from the midterm mark and now. My class participation has remained the same but my writing has made progress. I felt as though I was a bit more comfortable going into a paper than I was before. I became more organized and got more confident comments on it. Understanding rhetoric also became easier and the papers really pointed out to me the important things to note when writing about a rhetorical analysis. I can honestly say that this has been the best and most informative writing course I have taken and it has helped me a lot. In terms of my writing, I made constant progress as all my papers were handed in and spaced out through the semester so that noting was rushed. I had ample time for each one due to my good time management. Of course, I can still work on some things in my writing, however, over all, I feel that I did a good job in this class this semester.
