Academic writing

adapted and learned how to do work, properly. My writing was not the best and I had many people help me and I researched many ways to improve my writing. One of the worst things I struggled with was my grammar. I usually did not check my writing when I finished and would always just revise and edit my essays instead of letting someone else look at it. This class has helped me to let someone revise my essays for me. In my essays I learned to improve my writing by reading my feedback from you. The…

however, this semester I was required to write many different styles of essays. Thus, I was forced to leave my comfort zone for writing and to challenge myself, which in turn helped to improve my writing. My essays that I have wrote for EN 101 demonstrate that I have improved in supporting my thesis, keeping the paper organized, and creating better conclusions. Although my writing has improved, I still need to work to create stronger transitions between paragraphs and new thoughts within my…

embarrassed because it’s just a rough draft, why try to make it perfect?. Before I read this article I thought my rough drafts had to be perfect or close to it and that is the reason why I had such a hard time getting started on the essay or even writing an essay. The other three articles I didn’t find them beneficial in any way but interesting. A brush with reality I found out what toothpaste really consists of, why it’s so expensive, and why it is harmful to digest. A secret life on the McJob…

colleagues will tell you they did not, and do not enjoy and sort of writing. Most cite their bad experiences beginning with the American public school system. I, however, had a different beginning to my writing career. Beginning early, with my writings of candy colored equines, changed and helped my early transitioning to academic writing. Therefore, thought the topic may be tedious, and very boring, I still manage to take some pleasure in writing. Unlike my peers who tend to groan or cringe at…

in USF, I felt hard in taking the rhetoric class, because I was not good at writing, and I also had a little bit afraid of writing. By the time goes, and I attended rhetoric class every semester. I felt I was not that scared of writing anymore. As an international student, I knew I should pay more attention and work harder to catch up with the native students. In this semester RHET-120 class, I learned a lot writing knowledge. Before I attended to American University, I also had an image…

Cyber Slang For my writing research question I will be talking about how texting and slang is affecting students writing. I gathered a lot of information from an article online by Annie Martin called "Texting Slang Creeps Into Students Writing". There has been multiple arguments about how texting affects a great amount of student's way of writing and how formal written assignments are taken too lenient, therefore students are unconsciously using slang. Instructors nationally and locally are…

noted on several occasions throughout Essay 1: Facing Uncertainty with Curiosity. Redundancy is acceptable in some circumstances in writing when the intended use is to provide emphasis. However, more often than not, the use of repetitive words is considered a bad habit that should be avoided as they tend to clutter up ones writing. By using a more concise style of writing and reducing the usages of unnecessary words that do not add to the overall meaning to the sentence, the reader can more…

I’ve been writing creative essays and speeches since a very young age. During 5th grade, I was made the editor-in-chief of the school’s wall magazine; a position which I held until 10th grade. I started academic writing just after passing my intermediate exams. During that period I wrote several full-fledged MBA and BBA dissertations. I have also done assignments on topics like taxation, business law, environmental issues etc. I want to make a career in IT and education and I think academic and…

Pro Point Two, by having set standards on format, students are able to learns skills such implementing citations and research into their writing. The Texas FFA places many requirements on the manuscripts submitted for contests, for example requiring all manuscripts to use APA for style and references. If students do not use APA formatting or execute it effectively they will loose points or receive no points for that section of the grading. While the qualifying contests in the FFA require that…

Notably, as a teenager I wrote a horrible academic essay in an easy English class in the 10th grade, and received a D. By way of contrast, as an adult I wrote an excellent research essay in an English class as a freshman in college, and received an A. Though, I made horrible mistakes on my personal essay as a teenager, I believe my writing has improved tremendously due to a research essay I wrote. For one thing, as a teenager in the 10th grade I wrote a horrible essay that received a non-passing…
