What I Learned In A Writing Class

This course has allowed me to refine my writing skills, polish my grammatical errors and learn how to properly organize my thoughts and ideas on paper. I feel that by taking a composition course such as this one it gives me a better chance at accomplishing the course objectives by giving me a firm grasp on basic writing skills.
Inventory:
From taking the Learning Inventory quiz I have learned that I am a Social, Creative, Verbal, Emotional and an Abstract learner. I have learned that I am a people oriented and prefer to learn with others as well as very imaginative in my approach to new tasks. I prefer to rely more on written and spoken information to aid in my learning development rather than spatial information such as getting my knowledge from pictures or diagrams.

I would like to improve on my confidence as a writer as well as work on better organization skills to help with the flow of the writing process, I tend to find myself getting tripped up or stuck on where to go from one topic to the

    PADM 302 Course Reflection My primary goals for this course were to improve my writing skills in two specific ways. I wanted to be able to write with greater speed, but with apparent quality, and I wanted to be clearer in my writing. I had two strategies in mind to meet these goals. The first included becoming proficient at writing outlines and frameworks, which, I thought, would help me better adhere to my objectives for the papers I write. The second strategy was to learn methods by which I could become more concise in writing which would enable me to more powerfully present the points I wish to deliver in papers.…

    For eighteen years, I have roamed this earth, and for thirteen of those years I have been able to harness my craft in writing. As I look back on those times, I see how much I have improved.

My literacy journey began in kindergarten where they taught us how to write out the alphabet, my name, and simple sentences. I don’t remember everything that about my time in kindergarten, but I do remember how frustrated I was trying to write out my name.…

    In addition, I realized that I need to be able to make logical connections in order to learn in a way that promotes real understanding and long term memory. Furthermore, I discovered that setting goals and creating a plan that incorporates a checklist is profitable for me. When comparing the computer assessment and the self-assessment, the results were somewhat similar but after much self-examination and reflection, I believe the self-assessment is a more accurate representation of my working and learning styles. I believe that I strongly exhibit several of the traits in the excite dynamic group that I feel would classify me as deliberate rather than stress…

    “When you finish with your homework, make sure you read for at least 2 hours,” my father would always say. Every time I heard this, I would get irritated. I was a 10-year-old girl quickly trying to finish up her homework, hoping to be able to finish in time to watch her favorite T.V. show.

My father always had this idea that reading would one day make you smarter and knowledgeable.…
