Writing Class Reflective Report

Improved Essays
This class has taken me on an adventure with learning different aspects of writing. I never really put much thought into writing it’s just a normal daily thing. There is so much more to it than I had originally thought. I do hope that I can learn to write more academically acceptable and that this class will lead me on the correct path. It has helped to broaden my take on writing and to seek out the help needed in order to write better. I know that I can ask my teacher questions about writing that seem like dumb questions to others. In the past other teachers have scolded me in front of other students and made me feel stupid for asking so I just never learned the correct answer to those questions. I have always been the type to panic or stress over not doing something that needs to be done on a deadline. I think I check my blackboard at least five or more times a day to double check that I have gotten everything in line and taken care of. If there is an assignment that needs to be done by a certain day …show more content…
Writing is one of those areas for me I have to be able to communicate and do it academically correct. I do not want to be looked at like a fool for not being able to write correctly in the professional world. Nobody wants to have a nurse that doesn’t know how to write a sentence or paragraph. We want our nurses to have the skills and education to know what they are talking about in words and on paper. I do look at writing completely different now, and I see more importance in writing than I did before this class. I believe I have gotten more confident in writing and expressing myself with pen and paper. I can see what all the authors whose books I read get out of writing those books. I am very glad that they possessed the power of writing. I know that I do not compare to an author that writes books for a living but I don’t see writing as the evil subject that I did

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.…

    Writing has always been one of the most difficult skills that I have been learning through my college career, but it has also been the most important skill because unlike other skills writing affects my works across all courses or subjects. Writing has also helped me to get in to UMD, receive scholarships, and be accepted in research programs. Therefore, all the effort that I have made to improve my writing skill is worth it. From experience, writing is not like other skills that one can learn overnight, for me, writing skill is very slow progress and requires a lot of writing and reading; this is what I got from this class. In this class, my writing has advanced because I am reading more, practicing more, and writing more.…

    Adequate writing was always a struggle for me because I struggled with coming up with topics to write about. Even when teachers gave us prompts to write about I struggled writing about them mostly because I thought writing was boring. Another reason I was discouraged by writing was I would spend hours at a time trying to come up with ideas for a prompt and would barely come up with any ideas to write about. Being a civil engineering major I see why writing is so important in my career field. My experience with writing has had its good moments and its bad moments.…

    Josh, I am writing to you because we have a lot in common. In English 101 I saw how far behind on writing that I really was. It was by far the hardest class that I have been in so far in my journey for my degree. It was the first time that I have actually had to sit down and study multiply sources for my writing. I was scared to death when I entered the class and left the class with more confidence in my writing ability…

    Surviving English Comp 1 Writing Class Writing is one thing I hate the most. It was hard to write an essay for the first time because I did not have the knowledge or concept of this writing style. Before this class, I thought I knew what writing was all about by expressing my thoughts, ideas and feeling. I know now that I had the wrong concept on how to write. I can express my thoughts, ideas and feeling, but if I put them in the wrong contents it does not lead the reader to the point of the essay.…

    I have always considered my relationship with writing to be very insignificant. Although I enjoy spending time verbally expressing my thoughts and feelings to others, it becomes difficult when these thoughts and feelings are expressed through writing. Throughout my adolescent years, I would often receive feedback for my writing given by the teacher in the form of a grade. Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…

    To me, writing has always been busy work and something that teachers only used to create grades. My writing experience in high school was very limited to one category in: practice AP essays. The writing I did in class was always preparing for AP exams and was very fact based. Most essays, such as history, were only used to show that I knew the material and weren’t graded on how good the writing was. I didn’t feel like I had any freedom to stray away from the format that the AP graders expected because I didn’t want that to affect my score.…
