Grammar is my weak point. I know, without exception, that my paper will look like it's been in a red ink drive-by when it is handed back to me. I'm really nothing like my grammarian friends, the ladies I know join Facebook groups like: "I correct your bad grammar in my head while you're speaking"; become fans of "Grammar Girl"; or post links such as "Learn Your Damn Homophones". That said, I have always been in an advanced placement English classes from grade school all the way through high school. I think I got into these classes, not because of strong grammar skills, but because I could really dig the themes presented in class, have always enjoyed analyzing content, have written interesting stories, and aced the tests. However, acing tests is something I've not been able to accomplish since starting this course. So, even though I may have tested out of Freshman Composition, I don't think my pre-college English classes have been helpful in preparing for this course.
