Post your final goodbye entry. It has been a pleasure having all of you as students. I will certainly miss all of you, but I am confident that you will use the writing skills/strategies that you've gained to continue to write effective essays. Good luck!
Best regards,
Dr. Rivera
We have finally reached the end of the semester.It was nice to meet new peers and a great professor. Although I have not talked much to many of you, it was still great reading your blog entries and listening to your short stories. I have come a long way in this class, from learning basic writing techniques to writing effective essays. They were all very useful and will definitely be put to good use when moving on to a higher English course. Good luck to all and always strive for the best! (:
ReplyDeleteThanks for being my classmate. Hope to see you around.
DeleteIt was nice to meet you too meryeil! Good luck in EN110! :)
DeleteGood luck to you as well! It was nice having you as a classmate. Take care.
DeleteIt was great having you as my classmate. Good luck in your future endeavours, take care!
DeleteI really enjoyed our class, especially our brain stretcher exercises and our group discussions. Good luck in EN110, everything we've learned in this course should make it a breeze for all of us. Happy Holidays!
DeleteSee you around. Good luck in your future endeavors.
DeleteTo be honest i can say that this semester has gone by so quickly. but in the end I made a lot of friends, we all did. If you ever need some help just look for me walking in the hallways..
DeleteWe finally made it. Thank you guys so much for being my classmates. It was fun meeting and working with you guys. I learned a lot from this class. I will definitely take what I have learned and use it.
ReplyDeleteso happy i was able to have you has a classmate! :)
DeleteIt was interesting having you as a classmate. We had a lot of laughs and good times. Happy Holidays and take care!
DeletePEACE OUT GIRL SCOUT! I hope to have more classes with you in the future because I didn't have the opportunity to get to know you better in this class. I wish you the best in your future and congratulate you on your success. Especially speaking Tagalog before English, you rocked at this class. GREAT WORK!
DeleteI'm so excited for a new chapter in my learning experience at the University! But I am also sad that I'll have to be leaving this class especially when I've made such good friends with my classmates. I hope to be able to use and apply what I learned in EN100 not only in the next learning chapter but also in life! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was nice having you as a classmate and reading your blog entries. Good luck in your future endeavors!
DeleteI'm also excited for next semester. This Fall semester flew by so fast I can't even believe how much material we were able to cover in those few months, especially because I remember in high school we never finished our whole textbooks and that was a whole year of one subject. I'm grateful for everything we've learned in this course, and looking forward to using it next semester. Happy Holidays!
DeleteSummer, one thing I learned about you over the course of the semester is that you express yourself through your wardrobe. Your clothes are pretty radical, might I add. I am glad you have succeeded through the course and WE DID IT!
DeleteHey Summer! First of all, I really love your name. I agree with Monica. Your style is very unique and you can pull it off all the time! Good luck in your future classes! (:
DeleteSummer, I love your hair. I enjoy having you as a classmate. See you around!
DeleteHappy to have you as my classmate. I wish us all luck on our next chapter of life in college. See you around
DeleteThank you guys for such a wonderful college experience. We have grown and learned a lot from each other. I am confident enough to say that I am ready for higher level English.This class has been great, but it is time to move on. Although the semester is over, let us not forget what we have learned. Have a great Christmas break everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm also confident that I'm ready for the next level for English. This class was just the stepping stone for EN110 and it helped us improve our writing skills to do great next semester. Happy Holidays!
DeleteI am glad we took on this journey together. Let me tell you, this class was a lot tougher than I had imagined. However, I am so glad we were both able to grow together. If I recall, you peer edited one of my papers in the very beginning of the class, months ago. Also, I learned in class that you're very intellectual and you have more to offer to writing than just essays. Happy Holidays...now we out! (:
DeleteI have to say that for my first semester in college, you guys were pretty awesome! I learned so much from all of you, even though I never really talked to a lot of you, I am truly grateful to have shared this experience with you all.
DeleteI cannot wait to move up to a new English class. I feel like I now have the capabilities to perform at my best in my future writings. I am glad that you were able to grow into a stronger writer. I hope that you continue to apply what you learned from this class to your upcoming English classes as well as any writing you may need to do. This journey was a pleasure and I am grateful that I was able to experience it with this particular group of people.
DeleteShar, I cannot believe we were classmates. On the first day I was kind of scared because I thought I would not have a friend. It was a good thing you were there.
DeleteTime flies by so fast, I didn't expect this semester to go by this quickly. I've learned a lot through this course, not just by what we're being taught, but also by Dr. Rivera and my fellow classmates and peers. I'm confident to say that I've gained the knowledge and experience necessary in english to go about and complete advanced english courses in the future. I certainly won't forget the things I've learned in this course. I'll be missing my fellow classmates, and teachers. I hope everyone will have a great Christmas break! Take care! I hope to see all of you again sometime!
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your next English class.Take care as well and see you around.
DeleteThis semester really flew by fast, and I feel we learned a lot of material within those few months. I feel this class was essential for the next English course because all the skills we learned are going to be needed for EN110. Happy Holidays!
DeleteMiko, you're my buddy. I hope you actually get the chance to read it. We became friends through this class. We probably missed out on a lot of valuable information when we were jabbing our mouths off. We were die-hard homies. If you missed anything, I had your back. I even shared my dark chocolate with you. I am so glad we were in this class together because you are my battle buddy and my English homeboy. WE DID IT MAN. At least I hope we did!
DeleteMiko, I agree that this semester went by in the blink of an eye. I could have sworn it was just yesterday that we were all learning how to use blogspot and now we are posting our farewells. It is truly a bitter-sweet moment.
Deletelol do not worry my friend you will always find me at PT for ROTC in the morning. I there is anything you may need help on just holla at your boy.
DeleteTime did fly by pretty quickly this semester.
DeleteI'm really happy with what I learned from this class. In the beginning of the semester I was kind of disappointed that I was placed in EN100, but then after everything we learned this semester I realized I wasn't as great of a writer as I thought I was before. My writing skills have improved immensely from this course. Our book taught me a lot of techniques that I will need for the next English level. I really enjoyed everyone in class, and all the group activities we did. Happy Holidays Everyone and good luck in EN110!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad this class helped you out a lot as it did for me. I am not a very good writer too, but with everyone always volunteering to read their stories or answers from the exercises, it has made me open my mind to more creative ideas.
DeleteI admit that in the beginning I was extremely disappointed in myself for placing in EN100, but I realized that it was truly a blessing in disguise. I know now that if I had just dived straight into EN110 I might have just drowned there. I really needed this "refresher course" as I liked to call it.
DeleteIt is great to hear that this class has helped you to become a better writer. I'm glad that we were all able to take this course together. The support and encouragement we received was very much appreciated. Our knowledge on writing grew immensely and I wish that you continue to strengthen your skills. Good luck to you as well in EN110!
DeleteI agree I was also a bit upset with being placed in EN100, but then again It was a useful refresher.
DeleteI agree, i was a bit disappointed that I got into EN100, though I realize that I did need improvement with my writing. I'm glad we came so far with only going through one semester. It was an honor to have you all as my fellow classmates.
DeleteTo Dr. Rivera,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a joy and an honor to have been your student. I appreciated your understanding with me through my rough times when I wasn't able to concentrate as well as the times where I might have been concentrating a little too much. I like that you had a lot of student involvement in your class instead of your average lecture class. You gave us a chance to express ourselves and improve ourselves with the help of our peers. Because of your class, we not only established new relationships but also learned a lot of new writing material and strategies (as well as stages of writing) to help guide us when writing in the future. All the extra hours I spent on this class specifically, even considering the heavy workload that came with the course...I can proudly say I survived; Maybe even succeeded. I am proud of the work I have completed in the class and the complete improvement since the placement test. Now I can also say...I'm ready for EN110! Thank you for all you've done for us and molding us into better writers for our futures.
To the class: WE DID IT! Thanks to everyone who actually posted on the moodle or blog first so we actually had people to respond to. Thank you to anyone who ever complimented me on a blog or moodle post. Thank you to anyone who noticed that I am not just goofy but I am actually pretty smart when it comes to writing. Additionally, thank you to anyone whoever HELPED me in class: With peer reviews, telling me which page we were on, giving me support ideas, telling me the date of something, or offering me advice. You guys are great.
Hi Monica! Although we never really talked, I must say that your writing is very unique and creative. I enjoyed reading your posts and listening to your work in class, whether it was from the exercises or the essay brain stretchers. They were all very interesting. Some have even inspired me. Good luck and keep writing great stories! (:
DeleteWell Monica, Thank YOU for always going into detail and giving us so much to respond to. I cannot count the amount of times I referred back to your posts for inspiration or ideas to comment on. Great job! See you in EN110!!!
DeleteI love reading your blogs because you write detailed ones. I think you should be a teacher. Anyways, hope you had fun this semester. Have a great year.
DeleteThe first person I know from the class. I'm happy that this semester ends with a big smile in our faces. Another chapter of our life in college is waiting for us. Good luck and see you around
Deletehey there girlfriend lol so i hope you have a good christmas break and be safe out there and always remember,if there is anything i can do to help you with anything. I am only a short phone call away or a chat box away.lol
DeleteYeah. You're different and its cool

ReplyDeleteOver the course of my first semester in college, I've learned many things. Most of which were in my EN100-12 class. I am truly grateful to you, Dr. Rivera, and to all of you, my peers for helping me to improve my writing skills. I know for sure that I am ready to move on to the next level of classes required to succeed in college. I look forward to seeing all of you on graduation day, and be able to look back and say that we have all come so far. I will always look upon these past few weeks with fond memories of our time spent together. I cannot wait to see what the world has in store for each of us. Thank you all for helping me to grow and learn not only in our English class, but in life. Farewell for now.
ReplyDeleteI am glad I had you for this course. Your writing is excellent! I also found out you knew my friend Gerian.You are both very great poets! Continue to write inspiring pieces! (:
DeleteThank you for constantly peer reviewing my essays whenever I did them. You insight has helped me improve my writing in so many ways. I also look forward to the day when we are all finally done with our very last semester here at UOG. It will be a day filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy. I hope to see you soon!
DeleteI noticed I have you in about 3 classes this semester! Crazy huh? I really enjoyed your slam poetry too. You're really good [; Hope to listen to some of your poetry soon!
DeleteHaha! I can't believe I almost forgot to post my blog today. Well, I can say that I've had my fair share of trials and errors in not only this class, but this whole semester. This was my first semester here at UOG, so I'm proud to have made it out alive. Jokes aside, I have learned a great deal in our EN100 class. To be honest, I was really disappointed when I got placed into an EN100 class when I did the entrance exams. But now, I can't believe I got disappointed about learning a whole bunch of useful information! Silly me.
ReplyDeleteBye bye everyone! Perhaps I will have some of you again in my other classes.
I'm glad that this course has taught you so much useful information. I can honestly say that this was a great learning experience. I hope that you will continue to succeed in the remainder of your semesters here at UOG.
DeleteHope to see you again in the future, Krizel (:
DeleteThis semester has been an adventure filled with amazing experiences. I can definitely say that this course has greatly helped me in my writing and everyday occurrences. Dr. Rivera and all of my peers have helped to shape me into a better person and writer. I appreciate all the support and enjoyment that they have given me throughout this course. I wish to see everyone succeed in the rest of their college careers. Also, I hope that this will not be the last time that we all see or talk to each other. Thank you for everything!
ReplyDeleteI agree! With the knowledge we learned in this class, I believe that we're ready to take on EN110 headfirst! Enjoy your Christmas break!
DeleteThis semester HAS been filled with many experiences, and I'm glad this semester was an amazing one for you. Good luck in your future endeavors!
DeleteGot to admit, this class was pretty alright. I thought we were going to learn about literature and stuff, but we basically learned all the English, how to write essays and underline and annotate, kind of stuff. this class did help me improve on my essay skills :B
ReplyDeleteI really wish we did learned some literature. I was kind of looking forward to that stuff. But I guess the more useful information always has to come first. Have a good Christmas break!
DeleteI agree, this class was very beneficial. Have a good break too!
DeleteI am glad that I got to meet all of you. You all really made my first semester on to remember. I hope well all find what we came here in search of. I hope to see you all in my future classes. I know you will all be successful in your journey, here at the university. I wish you all the best.
ReplyDeleteFirst semester too? Awesome, we'll experience more fun as time goes on in our years in UOG. This class was just the stepping stone of our adventure. Have fun on your Christmas break!
DeleteWe wish you all the best as well (:
DeleteWish you the best too! I really enjoyed your "goodbye" speech during class, it was very blunt, but honest. Hope you have a good Christmas Break.
DeleteThank you everyone. I'm happy to have you as my classmates. It's been a rough week for the most of us. I'm happy it comes to an end and I'll be seeing you around. Thank you Dr. Rivera for the wonderful and full of knowledge course we had.
ReplyDeleteChristmas break, here we come! I'm happy to see the semester come to an end as well. However, I don't think it will be the last to see our fellow classmates. So I guess this isn't a goodbye!
DeleteIt has been a rough week.
DeleteMy fellow classmates, we had a good run in this course and I can say that we all made some good friends as well. but the semester has come to an end and the time for good byes has come. tho we may never see each other, but always remember that friends are always there if you need a helpping hand.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a goodbye! We all know we'll see you again. It was nice meeting you this semester. Hope you have a good break!
DeleteI hope to see you all again in the future! Wish you all the best, you guys (:
ReplyDeleteFinally end of semester, it was cool and goodbye everyone
ReplyDeleteTo my fellow classmates, although we haven't gotten closed to one another, I have enjoyed your feedback from the blogs and moodle. I know we aren't going to completely say 'goodbye' so i take this as a "see you later." We'll all see eachother probably in the next couple months. I hope to have you all again in my next class! See you [:
