Course Reflection
This course was really interesting and different for my writing style. When I think of English I don't first think of writing memos, emails, proposals, etc. for a workplace. By going through this course I was really able to further my knowledge in how to communicate in the "adult world" that you become of so quickly outside of high school. I currently work in commercial real estate and I'm sending many professional emails everyday, going through English 2100 helped me freshen up my writing skills while sending out important emails, memos, letters, etc. I didn't know that an English class could help me so much in my everyday life, but this class taught me many things that I will now be able to use in my job everyday. Such a great class and experience for me and my future professions.
