This helped me know where I needed to make changes and parts I did well on. Also, other feedback that was helpful was the writing center. I took all of the essays I have done in this class there. But, one in specific that I took there was the Surprising-Reversal Essay. The tutor and I discussed how I can make a better claim in my essay, and ways that I can better my thesis.…
Finally, revising drafts and receiving feedback from my teacher and classmates has helped for the most part. While I seemed to find constructive feedback from my teacher, my classmates could have been more supportive. While reading some feedback all I would get is compliments for some people, while its flattering to be complimented, I would rather have tips on how my writing get better. Creating these writing pieces has taught me a lot about my voice and audience and has allowed me to reflect on my…
With the peer feedback I was able to take what was wrong with my paper and fix it before turning it in for a final grade which I found as excellent. This allowed me to change any errors that I had not previously come across. Also producing a mid-draft allowed me to go back and re-read my essay after not having it in front of me for some time. It allowed me to re-read my essay fresh allowing me to produce new ideas and thoughts I could put into my essays. I believe this class helped me improve on my writing as a whole.…
In the self-evaluation you actually think about how you did each essay from start to the final. It made you realized the good and the bad out of each essay and how you could improve in the next one. Also, the decompression was a thing I like because of the concern and comment area. When we get our grade back those concerns and comments are addressed by the professor and you are able to see where you went wrong in your…
It showed us that people can use rhetoric to prove something but that not everything is what it seems. The course has provided great examples to show how rhetoric is used in everyday issues. From taking this course I feel confident enough to move on and take upper level writing courses, Also the course made us write relevant papers that later on proves to help with studies that involve my major more directly. Artifact one shows how the class taught us to be mindful of the consequences of what we write because every action has a reaction that later has positive or negative results. Actifact two shows that we learn from our failures.…
Also how I could easily get ideas for my essay. Next, we had to draft an outline to better clarify our idea before starting to write our first draft essay .It was during the practicing of the outline that I improved my writing organization, which has been one of my issue in the previous classes. I benefited also of the quick look of my classmates, we call it peer review section. Honestly, I like that one. Sometimes, I was sure that my draft was ready to be submitted, but my classmates helped me to find those little mistakes that were still unknown.…
Also with peer reviews, you get a chance to read other people’s writings. With that, you can get a chance to see other people’s ideas, and that could spark new ideas for your own writing. With the workshops, we got actual criticism from our teacher. With that, we can get pointers on what we need to fix and what works in our writing. This was extremely helpful since we could fix all the mistakes and then turn in our papers to hopefully get a higher grade.…
Next, search online to see is there were any materials to support my ideas. I think the best piece of my writing had a strong argument in my essay. Because I like to write my experience, and I believe that it could be more persuasive. We had peer response section in class, and I think it was my most significant experience. We read each others paper and had a suggestion from the group partner so that I can know my mistakes on time.…
When distinguishing the readings we would do class discussions. Class discussions help a lot, because we get to understand the points of views of other students in the class. If I wouldn 't understand some quotes from the readings I would understand right after the discussions, because someone was bound to talk about it. My instructor Ms.Trujillo would also help us when we wouldnt understand concepts the author would speak about in the articles. When determining essays it helps when we get into groups, because we discuss the readings to share our perspectives on the…
All of the constructive criticism on my projects help me understand where I can fix my writing. I now know that I should try to put more detail into my writing, work on what tense I write in, and focus on revising my paper to catch silly spelling or grammar mistakes. This class also helped me in my other classes. In most of my other classes we had writing projects where I could apply the skills I learned in College Writing l. Also, this semester being able to have individual conference times helped me to feel confident in my work. It helped me to see mistakes that I did not see when I was reading my own papers.…
