Even though this class is a writing class; we are actually not only improving our writing skill but also learning about plagiarism. Since everyone in the class came from different cultures, not many people know about plagiarism in American society and might make some mistake in the future. I noticed that the only way to improve a writing skill is to write a lot, and I have written a lot in this class. All the assignments that have given by this class are really helpful to my writing skill. The most challenging thing with an argument essay is to put a right source into a right spot in the essay. To be honest, I’m a good writer even in my own language; thing that I have to improve the most is the idea for an assignment, about what I want to write. By taking this class, it will be a grate benefit to my study career since I have to write many papers for other classes too.

Making a digital story is actually a new thing for me. I had never thought of making any video in my life before. I chose a personal topic about my life that I was not happy with. At first, my story is actually good but I didn’t know how to express it well. After tutoring with professor by telling him what I want to express into the digital story, he helped me re-arrange it and put it into a nice term. Using pictures help other people understand more about what I really want to say; they can feel my feeling more with them. I’m actually pretty proud of myself with this project; I enjoyed making it a lot. I put so much effort into this project in order to make it turns out really well. I wish I could mention about this English class into my story as well since the story is about my in OSU also.
