Self-evaluation Speech video is a significant tool to judge and evaluate the performance of speech. After watching my speech video carefully, I found several ways that I could improve in the future. My initial response to seeing myself is really awkward because I thought my performance was poor at my speech day and I do not want to recall about that. After watching it, I felt it was even worse than I expected. I understand that facing up my weak point is important to improve in the future; thus…

all my jumbled thoughts on paper and it was so unorganized that I didn’t even know where to start. These steps have helped me tremendously as well as using an outline. Furthermore, I learned about a writer’s audience and how important this is when writing your essays. Prior to this class, I didn’t give much, if any thought to who my audience was or if I should be writing in first, second, or third person. Knowing who your audience is will help set the tone of your paper. The most important…

I can only hope that this class will help me become a better writer. I want to know how to strengthen my weaknesses, I want to learn how to read my paper and see all the things wrong with it so that edit it on my own. Composition one will be my biggest test yet as a college student, especially since this is an online course. I have a good feeling about this class already. I can’t wait to learn more…

The Steps to the Writing Process Have you ever written a paper and followed the writing process correctly? There are five major steps and many small details that go into writing a paper. The paper can be easily written if the simple steps to the writing process are followed. The first step to the writing process is pre-write, the step where ideas are formed. After the pre-write comes drafting when the ideas previously formed are written down to make the first copy. Once the first draft is…

“Ever to excel” is not just a moto for some universities; it is applicable to everyone in their endeavors. Aristotle in his Nichomachean Ethics argues that extremes, or too much or too little of something are vices, and that the virtue is the perfect balance of the two. The virtue often leans to one side or the other, but can always be found near the center. Of the many intellectual virtues, including: curiosity, humility, carefulness and many others, I strive to embody perseverance most. In the…

I couldn't express my emotions to my friends and family, they often took it as insensitive or irrational. I had to work around and change how I act in front of people. Yet when I was alone, I felt like I connected with the world through a pen and paper. Often I would write whatever crosses my mind which there would be an endless supply of thoughts. Looking back on my life, I can utilize my writing to help people who are going through similar experiences to help them find their…

Just recently i put my creativity to work by doing some innovating thinking in order to help some of my friends. Once i got my drivers licence two of my friends came to me for help so they can get their licence too. I suggested they read the dmv handbook but they refused because they send said it was to long and in the end they would of forgotten what they read. Therefore i had to come up with a creative method to make both my friends learn the material in a creative way so they can remember it…

I will be honest, I am not the best at writing papers, but I am hoping, by the end of the year, to strengthen my writing skills. Writing is crucial to the medical field because I will have to write reports and research papers. My writing is not perfect, and I want to be considered a well-spoken writer. I have had many experiences with written literacy, primarily with reading historical and classical books when I was in middle school, writing historical short stories, having my parents’ support,…

I left high school tired and confused. Having my whole life desired one thing and pursued one love – a love for the art and science of literature, for inkblots on bare paper, for the destruction of the pristine with the flawed beauty of the written word – I was wasted, rendered exhausted by the pressures under which I forced myself to toil for four long years. I had lost my way, stumbling off a path I once knew so well, weighed down by my wide array of interests, terrified to commit to one and…

I've worked hard enough to get the grade I have. I know I can do better. I most definitely worked harder on my homework and essay. The homework was the best for me because I do not enjoy writing much. I am not the best at it. I spend about 30mins in homework. It depends on the assignment. One of my many goals was to pass my classes having. I've shown much progress by doing lots of homework unlike years past. Something I am taking from the first semester to the second one is to keep doing all my…
