In this essay I am going to reflect on how I have grown as a writer throughout this course. I have learned many new things such as new vocabulary, grammar, writing styles, and much more. Throughout this course I have used resources through Johnston Community College like their library resources and tutoring center. Another key thing I was taught was how to write for different audiences. Here are a few examples of the things I have learned. The main thing I was taught was grammar and vocabulary…

am always writing for a specific reader. Be it work emails or school assignments, I always keep in mind who I am writing to, so that my writing style does not come off as unprofessional, not respectful, or “too proper”. For example, in the design industry, you can never know whether a person will expect complete professionalism from you, or will he want to talk like a human instead of a robot. When writing emails to clients, coworkers or the boss, I first try to understand my audience and…

I am both nervous and stressed that I will not fully understand the requirements of the writing assignment. When I think of creating a research paper I worry that I will not use enough words to get my point across. Before starting at Belhaven my emails were anything but detailed and at least once a week I was reminded to use more words. With each class, I learn more tools that will help me with my writing. I have learned to create a formal outline. It has helped me to better understand the…

My major, communication with a minor in PR, is something that I thought a lot about. I have a passion for people and writing which lead me here. Communication is all about learning interactions with people and with outside forces. I am fascinated with this ever since I took a Communication class at LCC. I also decided on PR because of my love for writing. I have always been an English buff and writing has always come so easily to me. I thought this was a great minor because it will challenge me.…

MLA Format Exercise The last English course I took was an online essay writing class. I honestly didn’t like the course very much. It just seemed like I would turn things in and then I would get feedback and the teacher would tell me exactly what to fix to get a better grade. Looking back at it I don’t feel like I grew academically through taking the course. One thing I did learn from the online class was a better understanding of different types of essays.Such as; descriptive, expository,…

This is actually a good question! Personally, I will share with my wife, friends and family members before I share with my boss or co-workers. I make that statement because of the line of work I am in. My field of work does not require any writing skills yet it does require reading skills. When I say reading skills I am referring to reading blueprints of symbols and abbreviations rather than words. I am a welder and we have to read blueprints in order to put a part together and weld it…

From the process of writing a critical analysis for each work of literature in the American Family Album to discussing the class’s different interpretations of those stories in depth, I was able to take my original thoughts and make them more versatile. This process helped me to create a basis for all of the essays we had to write in our English class. The three CA’s that I believe are my best works are “Raymond’s Run”, “Grace”, and “Nineteen Fifty-Five.” Not only do I enjoy these CA’s because…

Whilst taking these writing classes I am learning how to become a more experienced writer enabling me to get my perspective across in a very coherent and understandable manner. Learning these writing techniques will help me greatly in future classes, my future career and even my own private writings. In other classes I am required to write papers and responses to questions, by taking these writing courses I find it much easier to answer these questions in a manner that is easily legible,…

Anne Glusker has spent the last five months teaching her students at Morgan State University how to become better writers. The introductory course: Comm 201 Fundamentals of Multiplatform Writing, has met once a week every Tuesday from 5:30 p.m - 8:15 p.m since August and today marks the last day as students take their finals and the fall 2017 semester comes to an end. Throughout their time in this course students were taught how to write for a multitude of areas within the communication field…

Before I broke my dominant hand wrist during the winter of freshman year, I was used to successfully learning on my own for my courses and confident in sharing my ideas with others. After the injury, I was forced to compensate for even the most rudimentary skills such as practicing writing with my left hand. I was embarrassed to be struggling in the competitive academic environment that my college provided, and I didn’t want to hold back the progress of others. I suffered in silence. Upon…
