My Reflection Of My Writing Class

Decent Essays
As I registered for this class I knew it would be difficult for me because writing is my biggest weakness. I have a problem when I’m writing that I get off topic real fast and nothing flows. It all happened with my first writing class and I did pass but I wanted to try it again to see if I could get better grade so I could graduate with my certificate next semester but I think this year my writing got worse. I knew what topic I’m good at writing but since I used them before I couldn’t use them again. I’m very disappointed in my writing this semester and I knew it could have been better.
One of the papers I wish I could have revised was my compare and contrast essay. I wish that I would have listened to suggestions that my teacher and other people made for me with the topic of the essay. I could have done more research and made sure I had someone else at school read it over for me so I got feedback from several different people. I also wish that I could have remembered to send in my essay for the conferences but it would always skip my mind. I should have changed the topic and used that topic for my argument and persuasion essay, but otherwise I think I did well on it.

It’s something that I can write about without getting off topic and it flows a little bit better. I loved it because I got to tell about how my life went downhill for the first time with school and how I made it better in that time of my life. If it could have been longer then I could have told more of the story. My life is pretty much the same as it was back then but without the friends as bad influences. I still struggle with school every day because of how stressful my life is and that my mom gets cancer on and off over the

    It was the first essay I ever wrote in college and it was on a topic I never hard of, rhetorical analysis. I when I was writing it, I kept getting frustrated because I didn’t feel like it was my best work. I did a lot of research on it and with the help of the writing center and my Professor, Dr. Osterhaus, I came to the conclusion that a rhetorical analysis was not as foreign as I though it was. The best improvement I made on my paper was based on the feedback I received at the writing center.…

    Of course the class was not happy about that and neither was I. After class I asked the teacher how I am supposed to get better at writing if I do not know what I am doing wrong and she said this is something that you have to figure out on your own because that is what you have to do in college. At this point I was very angry and I wanted to drop the class but after thinking about it I decided that i was going to fight through it and work…

    To me, writing is just ok, nothing special. It definitely isn’t something I get excited about. My first formal writing class was in 6th grade, where we followed The Institute for Excellence in Writing’s curriculum. My fellow classmates and I mainly wrote short, 1-3 paragraph reports on various historical topics. I did well in these classes, I just never really enjoyed the process of writing.…

    Going into this college writing class, I did not know what to expect. All I anticipated about this class was that it is a general education class, that was required to graduate. I figured there was essays, but I did not expect how much. This class has taught me good information that can further help with my writing career. I said at the beginning of the year that I might want to do a fashion blog.…

    Wow, it’s hard to believe this semester has already come to an end. When I first walked into English 102 this semester I wasn’t sure what to expect of this course, but I knew I would be challenged. Although before this course I knew how to write papers, I had trouble expressing my thoughts effectively in my writing. After this semester I feel have started to overcome the the struggle and I know it is because of the past essay assignments and class activities we did this semester.…

    As I have been typing this essay though I have come to realize that I don’t like writing in the slightest other than for practice, it is too time consuming and it bores me. The part of writing that I seem to struggle with is writing itself. This is due to the fact that I don’t have much to say and once I have finished what I actually have to say I have trouble with coming up with more. The only part of writing that I would say that I excel at is the revision process. I have one writing goal, that being to have better grammar, other goals are financial.…

    Like I previously stated I learned how to do many things with my writing this semester. The first essay we wrote, a narrative, was probably my favorite essay to write. Although it was my favorite, it was definitely not my best. I wrote my essay and felt like it was complete and worthy to turn in. Little did I know that was not the case.…

    I was not an excellent writer at the beginning of the school year, but I can gladly say now that I have inherited more writing skills that I will benefit from in the future. One of those skills is being able to reflect on every angle on my topic to allow me to organize my ideas accurately. This skill is beneficial to learn, for it helped with my report essay to acquire the focus of my paper more clearly. Moreover, this skill helped me write papers in my other classes more easily and efficiently. Likewise, my voice can be read strongly throughout the personal narrative essay, because the passion I had for my topic was an emotional one.…

    At the beginning of this English course, I was so nervous and scared that I would fail. I do not think I have ever been a good writer. It has always terrified me because I have difficulty putting my thoughts down on paper. This course has proven to be highly inspiring to me as well as frightening. It has really taught me more about the understanding of the writing process and structure, in which helped me to not focus so much on the actual writing parts.…

    I could 've helped a lot of people 's scores if I was better are finding mistakes. Although I hate editing and revising, I need a lot more practice with it. Althought I felt that I did a good job supporting complex ideas, I know I could 've added more support to make my paper even stronger. I also should 've abused my resources better than I did. There are so many things that could 've helped my papers out but choose to ignore them such as using the writing center, talking to my instructor, or even connecting with classmates.…
