By the end of the semester I hope to gain confidence on the usage of grammar and mechanics. In paper one I used the sentence, “He also says colleges should introduce the ‘three strikes and you’re out’ theory, if the student has three major alcohol abuse situations he would be kicked out of the university.” This sentence was a run-on because I placed a comma in the middle of it; when I placed the comma there it made it a comma splice. In paper two my peer mark gave a lot of suggestions with grammar, making me feel disappointed. Keeping what they had said in mind I ended up adding a lot of commas. My peer mark also made me aware of a couple situations where my word choice was not fully clear. Even though I fixed where they told me my professor also gave suggestions on how to make my word choice my clear throughout both papers. While I was at the writing center I had to practice using different sentence structures and getting rid of my bad habit of only using simple sentences. I can tell that my writing skills are improving, but my grammar area still seems a little
