My essays have improve over the semester, because now I know what mistakes I should be aware of committing. Also because I was able too look back in my whole process and argumentative essay and noticed the insufficient amount of detail and support I was providing. As a writer I feel that I need to focus in writing strong thesis statements that are going to capture the readers attention. I also need to pay more attention when it comes to developing an essay because I tend to leave out important information that’s going to make my essay…
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.…
Meanwhile, watching for my subject- verb agreement and transitions to have a satisfying flow from one point to another point. Then from now on as it is getting nearer to the end of the school year, my flaws are slowly improving through many practices of level one or two writing paper. The progress of my writing skills I achieve in Advanced Placement Language Composition, demonstrate my improvements of my writing towards to building a stronger essay. The major important factors to building a spontaneous essay is by having a strong and clear thesis statement. One of the flaws that I have improve throughout the end of the year to build a stronger essay because without a strong claim my essay is basically useless.…
After preserving through the challenges presented to me during this assignment, it paid off as I improved my score by three percent from the previous essay. At this moment I felt like I accomplished my goal of improving my writing and analysis. Like famously written by Robert Frost, “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference” (Frost…
Even though I am proud of most of the essay, there are things I would like to revise if given the chance. I had some problems with commas when it came to listing. Also I would fix the few comma splices that I had. Another thing I would change is that I put commas in front of in…
At the beginning of this semester I was extremely nervous to be taking a writing class. Growing up I was never a strong writer. However, throughout this course I believe I have become a better writer. This change in my write can be attributed to the different assignments throughout the course. One aspect of my writing that has improved tremendously is my ability to form sentences from increased use of active voice, proof reading, and sentence organization.…
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.…
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.…
Jamie – 582 WORDS Composition has changed my thinking in more ways than one. Writing is no longer a burden, but an opportunity to expand my thinking. Although I am not great at writing and I have more to learn, I now enjoy exploring ideas and putting pen to paper. I have been challenged almost to the brink of insanity and pushed to the edge but I have grown not only in my studies, but as a writer. My writing process in the beginning of this course was total chaos.…
Throughout English Composition 1, I have learned several crucial writing skills. Writing skills that will benefit me in other classes, outside of school, and during my future college years. Not only will these benefit my overall writing and making it flow better, it will all in all make more sense to the readers. Even though I learned many skills and objectives during this semester, four skills really stood out to me. Cohesion, comma usage, the use of satire, and how to write a definitional essay.…
Over this semester of schooling my writing has changed dramatically at times and very little at others. Through my years of schooling people have determined my weaknesses and strengths that I would need to work on in my writing. In this academic writing course, I got to assess my own strengths and weaknesses based on the trouble I had writing, feedback, and overall grades. In all my years of school, I have always had trouble beginning an important paper.…
Throughout the course of the semester, my ability as a writer has increased at a slight level. The semester began on a rough patch with my initial submission of assignment one, but that was quickly resolved in my revisions. Since that point, my grades have been relatively similar. I would accredit this improvement to the feedback I received on the first assignment, although some of my faults could be seen in the next assignment as well. Since that point, however, my writing has been relatively consistent.…
When I began this English course I was not the writer I am today. I wrote with several errors. I always thought I was an okay writer, but I did not realize I was not good enough to get the grades I wanted in college. I feel like I can say my writing has improved because of this class. For one I now know how to correctly do MLA format.…
Improvement is a very positive factor in any line of work. It is seen when you adapt and overcome possible failures overtime, in order to benefit yourself. Through my time in College English Composition one I have improved in a vast number of areas. Whether in grammar or structure, or just the common flow of my essays I feel that I have become a better overall writer over this semester. This was in grave part thanks to my instructors for correcting my mistakes and leading me to the right direction, whether it was tough criticism or not.…
This English class has been very helpful in my efforts to improve my writing abilities, but has also been very challenging due to there being a different median for every essay. It’s been a heavy work load especially this semester since I decided to enroll in five classes, but in the end it has been very beneficial indeed. I can’t say that writing essays has been one of my strong points but I believe that this course has helped me improve tremendously and it has also made me feel a lot more comfortable with my writing. While in high school I would usually write all of my essays a day before the due date a habit of mine that was very difficult to overcome, but now I have learned from my mistakes.…
