    This course is the grand finale of my studies to obtain my associate degree. I have completed several courses that involved formal writing and I feel this class was a great conclusion to the first part of my educational journey. As I reflect on the past eight weeks, I would describe this Cornerstone Seminar course as very educational and a bit overwhelming. This last assignment is my digital portfolio of my writing and research technique throughout this course. Beginning with Malcolm Gladwell’s bestseller “Outliers”.…

    I am fully aware that being creative is a vital skill when it comes to being a strong writer. Unfortunately, I am going to conclude this quarter by doing what I have been all year, and that is answering the prompt. I guess it is safe to say that I’m putting a touch of creativity by not being creative at all. I am going to treat this essay as a cool down lap after a full on sprint of a quarter. My goal is to exhibit my growth as a writer by taking a more informal approach towards the prompts that were given.…

    I was not an excellent writer at the beginning of the school year, but I can gladly say now that I have inherited more writing skills that I will benefit from in the future. One of those skills is being able to reflect on every angle on my topic to allow me to organize my ideas accurately. This skill is beneficial to learn, for it helped with my report essay to acquire the focus of my paper more clearly. Moreover, this skill helped me write papers in my other classes more easily and efficiently. Likewise, my voice can be read strongly throughout the personal narrative essay, because the passion I had for my topic was an emotional one.…

    After accumulating a multitude of source I find myself only taking very limited information from them. Although all the sources I find are solid, I also often times find myself using the same information from each source. With this my papers sometimes become repetitive and make it harder to read. For this portfolio, I have chosen three papers that I believe depict both my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, how I’ve grown as a writer, and how I still have an immense gap for development in my writing as it is early in my writing career in college.…
