Decent Essays
Over the semester I have learned a lot of different ways to make my writing stronger. Some stand out more than others. But altogether they have made a positive impact on how I write today. Although I still have weaknesses in each piece of writing, there are also strengths that stand out in my writing.

I would do this for almost every writing assignment we had till I did the rules analysis essay. It actually made me examine what was actually working and what was not working for me.

    I wrote one “source-based argumentative essay” in high school: my final essay from sophomore English. The guidelines were to write a four to eight page paper on any topic of your choice, but the thesis of the paper had to come across clearly.

    English W131 Reflection

    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.…

An example of this is that I have become aware of my grammar and spelling errors as the semester progressed.…
