English 111

My experience in English 111 with Paul Gasparo has been a blast. On the first day in class, Mr Gasparo expressed on how quick and hard the next couple of weeks are going to be. So at first, I was nervous, and I was shaking in my boots. I asked myself if I was going to make it in this course because it is too much for me to handle. Despite the challenges in this class, Mr.Gasparo came up with some encouraging words that motivated me to keep going, do the assingments on time, and inpired me to write my essays. He also told us upfront that this dynamic class would be tough, but if we do the work and give our best effort, we would make it in this class.
Being in such a fast paced class, I have learned very well of what time management is all about. In this course, you should not procrastinate because you will fall behind, and before you know it, there will be another paper due next class. You really want to consume your time wisely. Say for instance if you have a paper due exactly a week and a half set, you need to do your draft the next night or after. It has been a privellege to experience this fast paced class because it taught me how to value my time that will help me through college and throughout my life.
I was very impressed on how Mr. Gasparo does his grading system because of its uniqueness that help us students to be successful in his class. In addition, He planned out everything for his students and make sure that they get everything they need in their homewrok and essays. Furthermore, he aswers all the questions his student might have to be successful in his class.
Mr. Gasparo is an expert on MLA format. He taught me everything I needed to know about MLA format all the way down to the work cited page. Through this experience, I could tell that Mr. Gasparo was really dedicated, straight to the point, and very passionate in his job, and that means a lot to me, and it's really hard to find good quality teachers these days. Mr. Gasparo has given me the knowledge I need to write a successful paper that helped me gain confidence in writing. As a result, he made me become a better writter and a better person.
English 111 with Mr Gasparo opened my eyes more on one extra credit assignment. Mr. Gasparo gave us a chance to go hear a great writer speake that goes by the name Tim O’Brien. The speaker gave me more ways on writing a successful paper and finding new ways to open my heart up on writing more. As Tim O’ Brien would say open up your imagination and trust your writing is what I did from there on and out. Mr. Gasparo showed me a lot on that day, and he showed me that he is a the kind of teacher that reaches out and connects with your writing ability. In addition, he also showed me his creative side to add more points to my final grade.
Taking this class helped me out in various ways. Mr. Gasparo is a great teacher that goes over the limit for you as long as you put forth the effort back . I will have to give this class two thumbs up for anyone who is interested taking this class.
