This semester in ENG 111: Writing & Inquiry, I was honestly excited by how much new information I discovered to aid in my writing ability. When reflecting upon the semester, I was happy to see how just how much I actually learned and also how much I have developed my writing skills. My writing, analytical thinking, and critical reading skills have advanced vastly throughout this semester, as I have learned a lot of new and invaluable skills to add to my mental stash of information to draw upon when it comes to the subject of English. It has been a long an interesting semester on a lot of levels, with more than a few obstacles making completing this class seem impossible; however, when you are dedicated and committed to excellence, anything…
During this semester of English W131, I have experienced both accomplishments and setbacks while learning how to improve my writing skills. Throughout the course, I have learned that writing is not only about how much information is in the paper, but also about how well the writer’s thoughts are expressed throughout the text. Practicing many different styles of writing as I did in the class has helped me tremendously with my delivery in my writing. I believe that this course was one to prepare us for future writing courses with professors we will encounter who will give us feedback that may puzzle us because it will require more work and more thinking. Although I have had difficulty in the class, I do believe that I have learned from my mistakes and that I am finishing the course with stronger writing skills that will help me though the rest of my college career and life.…
How my Writing Has Improved? In this semester I have accomplished a great improvement in my writing. Now that my English 090 class is coming to the end, I can see so far how I become a better writer. In fact, I always struggle with my writing.…
I've posted your earned mid-term grades in English 111 on Banner and will be glad to discuss your situation with you individually sometime next week, if you'd like. These are information grades. As usual, knowledge is power: What the grade tells you gives you a chance to be pro-active in ways that might ensure your success in the course. A proper response to a mid-term grade is neither resignation nor smugness. Without my forcing the issue, the overall average at mid-term in my two sections of English 111 happens to be exactly 2.0 or "C," a reasonable outcome for a first-semester college course, one that includes several failures by students who simply quit coming to class and submitting the assigned writing projects.…
I’ve never worked as hard or as passionately on my work as I have done this year, and my new found way of doing my work is what made me grow as a student. As a reader, I was able to advance my way of reading, considering how I read way more into the text and note patterns too. This is probably because you manage to drill into my head the sort of guidelines needed in order for this to happen, such as if an author thinks something is important he’ll repeat it. Due to these lessons, I changed how I wrote my essays since I became even more invested in my writing. And I became a bit more confident in my writing due to my friends who complimented my writing and you who believed in me and in my writing.…
I started my journey through writing this year a bundle of nerves and a stomach full of coffee. This is my first year taking an advanced English course, but I was determined to do well. There has been no sleeping in class or slacking off this year, I’m lucky enough to take a college course a year early and at a better price, and I’m not going to waste it. I’ve learned a lot this semester, including but not limited to: identifying how exactly the author’s purpose and audience determines effective writing, developing pieces of writing though a process of planning, revising, and drafting, compose an organized essay with clear points and main ideas, used appropriate tone and formality, critiqued writing, and finally how to grasp the MLA format. My writing has improved through the concepts I have learned this semester.…
Reflection The English 111 course is virtually, an opportunity to grow my creative writing skills and expand critical thinking abilities. Specifically, the focus on inquiry, content analysis, the application of various rhetoric writing strategies, the accurate development of theses and related statements, and the audience awareness are the primary components that ensure steady academic growth. In essence, the sheer focus on critical writing facilities ensure that one learns the English language from a very cognitive supported point of view. Personally, I am now at a better place when organization of thought and the subsequent presentation in all formats are concerned. It is the systematic emphasis on the key course deliverables that has seen…
When I start my English 091 class, I had no idea of how to start a assay or how I could add some facts from any journal or other kind of information. Before this class I could say that I consider myself a terrible writer, I did not had a perfect grammar and neither a smooth writing. In many cases my writing did not make sense. Many times I just used to write whatever I had on my mind, sometimes I didn’t even plan before my final draft, I did not was organized . I have seen many improving things on my writing.…
Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 1010 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. When I first started this course, I was scared and didn’t really know what to expect. I branched out to different styles and types of essays as well as incorporating outside sources into my work. When I received my first essay back with the feedback and the grade, I realized that I was not a really good writer.…
Over the course of English 102, I have developed a new set of skills and learned to become a better writer. When I first came into English 102 I struggled with many different concepts of writing. During the semester in English 102, my writing became stronger because I learned how to incorporate evidence into my argument, do more thorough research, have smoother transitions, and have more organization throughout my essay. I learned how to peer review better and to take what others say and incorporate it into my essay. In the beginning, before English 102, I struggled with good organization and flow to an essay, sandwich evidence into paragraphs, and having strong arguments in persuasive essays.…
Even though I know I can still improve on my writing, I feel I have the necessary tools to get better, thanks to this class. My writing process has changed a lot this semester compared to English 101 and has continued to change throughout the different writing assignments.…
Throughout the entirety of this English 101 course, I have seen my skills as a writer grow. In the beginning of the school year, my writing fell short of my expectations, but as I continued to work and learn the principles of writing, I have written papers that I am proud to say are mine. Among the aspects of my writing I have improved, the best strives are seen within my my counter arguments and overall strength and coherency of my papers. To begin, when looking at a paper I wrote in August on necessity of first drafts, there were large gaps in my elaboration, bringing concerns as to whether I was arguing and proving a point or merely summarizing what Lamott, the author of the article, originally said. When attempting to argue my evidence, I stated,…
From writing an introduction paragraph, incorporating sources into my writing, to using convincing evidence and vivid details, I think I have gained many important skills to benefit me and my writing. I think that I will continue to learn from my papers and I will continue to work on building introduction paragraphs for my remaining years as this is one aspect I would like to keep working on and improving. Overall, the knowledge I gained from this class is very important to me and I will continue to apply the skills I have learned to further me in my college…
At the beginning of the semester, I viewed myself as a creative writer. After attending this class I realized that there is a lot more that goes into writing an essay, or a research paper, than just creativity alone. I have learned that it is very important to be aware of my strengths and weaknesses in my writing. Taking this class has helped me understand the strengths and weaknesses in my writing skills, and it has given me the opportunity to strengthen the areas in which I was weak. An example of this is that I have become aware of my grammar and spelling errors as the semester progressed.…
I recognize my weaknesses, and I have grown in numerous ways becoming a more experienced and successful writer. Throughout this semester, I have established who I am as a writer, reader, editor and rhetor. Learning how to be diverse within my writing was one key change that made my work stronger. My first reflection feedback included a suggestion to tell the reader more about myself. I needed to be more personal, meaningful and…
