Writing Strengths And Weaknesses

Decent Essays
Throughout my writing career I have learned many different techniques to writing a perfect essay. I have many strengths, but I believe I possess more weaknesses. My strengths are citing sources, emphasizing words, putting commas. I possess more weaknesses as shown above; there is always room for improvement. Even though I'm in a college leveled class I know I'm still not at that level. I'm a satisfactory writer and I would like to improve my writing skills to a level that my writing is exceptional. I've set my standards very high as a writer and a student; I hope I meet those standards.

    My major weakness is that I am a poor editor. I am very redundant and wordy, which was why I turned a simple introduction into two drawn-out paragraphs. Throughout the entire paper, I act as though the reader has forgotten everything in the last paragraph, so I summarize make sure to define glasnost and perestroika over and over again. When it comes to writing essays, I always end up with writing too much, but saying too little and sometimes not getting the point…

    This semester I have learned a great deal from Professor Beach, especially in regards to argumentative essays. He has taught how to get the proper evidence, facts, and to stay on point and remain focused. But most importantly he has taught me that argumentative essays must have a valid argument. Before I took Professor Beach’s course, when I saw commercials, advertisements, or the news, I would believe them without doing the proper research. Beach has taught me to see whether or not people are actually telling the truth or using fallacies.…

    My experiences with academic writing are with taking classes which require essays such as persuasive essays and expository essays in classes such as: Understanding Art, Communication, Humanities and even Rhet 1302. For example in Humanities we would watch films such as “Blade Runner” and explain the certain aspect in the movie such as the aspect of concealment and the truth. So I would correlate that with my thesis which was in the film “Blade Runner”, attempting to conceal your identity as a replicant only leads to the truth about your identity being revealed. I believe that my strengths are as a writer is being able to provide sound details from the source and transforming those details to fit my thesis. My weaknesses in writing are mostly…

    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.

    Upon my entry into English 1010-02, my first college writing class, I expected to breeze through the course with an easy-A and minimal effort after my successful completion of AP English 11 this past year. I began the year with the utmost confidence in my writing abilities, and believed that my skills were above par. It wasn’t until I received my score on the essay evaluation for my First-Week Essay- a measly five out of twenty- that I realized that this was not the case. At first, I was astonished that my seemingly exceptional writing skills had not earned me the A that I believed I deserved. However, as time went on I came to the realization that I had not put in nearly enough time or effort into the paper to receive more than a C at most.…
