Reflection: What I Learned

Improved Essays
In my reflects pertaining to the various writing experiences throughout my life, I have realized how much I have learned and still need to learn or be mindful of. Although I entered the workforce after high school and did not continue to enhance my writing skills in an educational setting, I continued to acquire a multitude of skills in the workplace. I acknowledge that throughout the years my ability to recall what I had learned in high school was lacking in my writing. Needless to say, the necessity to participate in English 103 is great.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this course and am thankful to have participated with such an amazing group of individuals. I plan to continue to be mindful of the various things I have learned and continue to utilize those techniques highlighted in this course in efforts to continue to build on my writing skills. I find myself using these techniques daily and when I am unsure of something I turn back to the materials I have read or book for answers. I also have also revisited a couple of videos posted by our professor that have been extremely helpful and easy to follow. These have become great tools that are saved on my computer to reference. In addition, I will be participating in the English 104 course to continue to enhance my knowledge and skills in this particular area. My expectation is that in time and with continued practice I will be and feel more proficient in my writing skills. Therefore, I sincerely look forward to a wonderful learning experience next

    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.…

    Throughout the entirety of this English 101 course, I have seen my skills as a writer grow. In the beginning of the school year, my writing fell short of my expectations, but as I continued to work and learn the principles of writing, I have written papers that I am proud to say are mine. Among the aspects of my writing I have improved, the best strives are seen within my my counter arguments and overall strength and coherency of my papers. To begin, when looking at a paper I wrote in August on necessity of first drafts, there were large gaps in my elaboration, bringing concerns as to whether I was arguing and proving a point or merely summarizing what Lamott, the author of the article, originally said. When attempting to argue my evidence, I stated,…

    This class has been one of the most interesting, uplifting, and fun courses I have ever taken. Coming into this class I was unsure of myself due to the fact that I had taken English 101 in high school as a dual enrollment course and didn’t feel that it was up to the level and what an actual course would have been. Not only did I believe we would be graded far harder, but I thought we would be forced to write far differently from any of the assignments we were exposed to in English 101. After my time in English 102 with you, my expectations have been greatly exceeded. Not only did I excel both my writing and public speaking skills through the rhetorical analysis, controversy analysis, and public argument, but I was able to be taught…
