How do I improve my writing skills?

[rachel83az]

Thank you! Would you recommend the Sophia English course? Or if you have experience with ASU's course would you recommend that? I don't know how to explain what I need help with other than I have terrible writer's block. Not only that, but I have a hard time transitioning between subjects in an essay. I'm fine when it comes to writing short answer questions but when it comes to writing actual papers I'm all over the place.

I haven't taken Sopha's Eng. Comp II yet, but I was very good. The only issues were the grading times. I really like ASU's English 102 so far, even though there is quite a bit of writing. It's definitely more than you'd get with Sophia. Honestly, if you have the time, I'd say to take both Sophia and ASU (though not at the same time) just to get the practice in, since they won't cost you any money out of pocket.

I also feel like I have issues with transitioning between subjects in an essay. Sophia's Eng. Comp I has some good strategies for planning out an essay. (I'd assume that ASU's English 101 is similar in that regard.) They've really helped, IMO, and I've gotten pretty good grades on all my Sophia essays so far. It's possible that you're better than you think you are, but some extra practice is always going to be helpful.
