Importance Of Writing Reflection

Randy:

I really liked the format of your response. It was very well written. I too am a criminal justice major. However, I have never had a very strong interest in writing and am hoping this course changes that. Your College Composition and Literature course sounded very interesting, and I think I would have benefited from a course like that.

I couldn 't agree with you more regarding having difficulties organizing a paper. I often struggle with this as well, and I hope this course helps me to improve in this area. I have found that creating and following an outline has been beneficial for my ability to organize my thoughts. Also, I understand how you feel about improving your vocabulary and needing to use a thesaurus. Personally, I think you 're ahead of a lot of people because many of them just stick with the first word that comes to their minds and never even think to enhance their word choices by using a thesaurus. I think that it 's great that you took this course on your own accord to become a stronger writer. But, from what I read, you seem to be a pretty strong writer already. I admire the goals you have set for yourself. I also would love to increase my organizational writing skills. I have to say your writing style seems very well organized already. Based on that goal and you mentioning your love for learning, I believe you are one who places a high value on self-improvement.

I especially enjoy them when they are on a crime topic that really interests me. I totally understand what you mean about reading complex literary styles. I have struggled with this too and have found myself consulting a dictionary to understand a word 's meaning. You 're right about the feeling of satisfaction you get from reading a complex work. I have read some works that were very complicated to me, and I felt pretty good once I completed and understood

    Generally, my overall goal for this course, as I stated in week one, was to “make my writing more orderly, less time-consuming, and more efficient overall.” As I reflect on the progress I have made, I recognize that I have had some success in meeting this goal, although I still have room for improvement. Thanks to our experience in composing outlines, my writing is better organized and more concise.…

    Coming into English 101, I really did not know what to expect. This was my first college writing class so I had no idea what it was going to be like. In high school I would have considered myself to be a decent writer, not the best or not the worst. I would never impress anyone with my writing skills but I could still come across as educated on my topic.…

    English W131 Reflection

    • 1178 Words
    • 5 Pages

    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.…

    I am a Student Paramedic with the East Of England Ambulance NHS Trust and this essay will look reflectively at an incident I attended during the course of my duties. The assignment will reflect on the moral, ethical and legal aspects of pre-hospital care that challenged me during this particular emergency. Reflective practice is a requirement of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC, 2014). Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper (2001) state, “we learn by doing and realising what came of what we did”.…

    I still struggle with coming up with interesting hooks and introducing my topic, however I have shown progress within each essay. One strength that I have when it comes to the writing process is that I’m great at brainstorming. However, before this class I had struggled with trying to organize my thoughts. Often my paragraphs would contain…

    I have always thought of myself as a strong writer. My highest grades have always been in writing classes and it is for that reason that I am pursuing law (one of the most writing intensive professions imaginable). This semester my goals were not to improve the mechanics of my writing, I wanted to improve the theoretical aspect. with proof reading software, a monkey can write a sentence, I want to be able to write an argument. And I do believe that I have improved.…

    My Writing Reflection

    Knowing I had to aim for a different audience this time around really affected my writing. When my tone for the original paper was rather informal and even somewhat fun, now I had to write for the APA, a group of people who take this line of work very seriously (as they should). Due to this, I gave my arguments a more serious tone, and I even expanded my vocabulary a bit to give a good impression. If I want the APA to listen to me, I should write in a tone they would use. I was careful about the sources I used for this.…

    Before I entered this class I was an optimistic and eager student ready to learn some college level writing skills. In a way I have changed, I now know some new skills and better techniques to add to my writing. In the beginning of the class I didn’t know that I could get large papers, like the three main ones, done in a matter of a couple days. I didn’t think I could done it, but now I know I can and it’s not that hard either. From this course I have also gained better time management skills.…

    I am still not that good at it, but I noticed that I started thinking more about the choices I make when I write. For example, I began my summary of Thonney’s “Teaching the Conventions of Academic Discourse” with a point of view she disagrees: “Thonney points out that some scholars deny the idea that there are set rules to academic writing.” I thought this would be more effective than talking about her ideas, then bringing up the opposing opinion, and then coming back to Thonney’s thoughts again. I wanted the paragraph to have a strong structure because that way it is more effective and easier to understand. This is definitely an improvement.…

    Honestly I didn’t think I would take as much as I have away from this class as I did. I took this class online to free up some time in my schedule. Little did I know that this would be the class I learned the most in. This semester has given me a lot of insight as to what writing actually entails. Structuring a paper, writing the paper, revising the paper, and peer editing are all things I have found I have improved on the semester.…

    Throughout this course, writing took more than just writing about what you read. Here I learned to process all the information that needs to be processed and come up with some way to get it out on paper. With writing I have learned that vocabulary and grammar are two very affective sides to it. With grammar I have learned when to end a sentence. Working on grammar for my writing also allowed me to learn, when the time came for me to use punctuation and extend the sentence.…

    Many people have a place that is extremely special in their eyes. It could be a spot where they killed their first deer, high school football field, or any place they hold dear to their hearts. When they look back on experiences and memories, there is that one special spot that sticks out. When we think of our significant place we are easily to describe the feelings we grasped from past memories, and exactly what the place looked like. At first thought, our significant place is flawless, and we tend to forget the bad times and instead focus on the good.…
