Completing lessons 5-7 was a valuable learning experience since it was filled with readings and writing assignments that required a lot of critical thinking. Since I love to daydream, thinking is something that I enjoy. My thoughts usually comprise of my plans for my day, and how I can improve and complete the tasks before me. I always feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment after run things in my head first. Before this class, I wasn’t very comfortable with critical thinking since I…

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…

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, organized, and possibly enjoyable to read. If I had not taken UWRT I am sure that I would be at a…

The 24-hour social media challenge actually made me grow as a person. The 24-hour challenge opened my eyes to many things like there is more than life than your phone and that when you are using your phone you don’t socialize. So while I was doing the 24 challenge I kept myself busy so I wouldn’t have to use my phone. I even went to the gym with my mom and sister to keep myself distracted which that was a good two-hour workout. As a person that just uses your phone 24/7, you don’t realize what…

Good evening or early morning, I apologize about contacting you so late, but I had a few questions about my grade on the Visual Analysis paper. I based my writing off of what you mentioned in class as well as the syllabus on Blackboard. You mentioned my paper was too much of an argumentative paper rather than an analysis of my image. Your feedback: "– The argument is strong, but so much of it is YOUR argument (and unfortunately I am not grading on argument or support)." From Blackboard:…

Chapter 4: Introductions and Conclusions I liked the visual of “framing” an introduction and conclusion. As a visual individual, I can spend hours picking the best photo (color, black, and white or sepia), then I still get to select the correct style, color, and size of the frame for the picture. I am beginning to visualize how important introductions and conclusions can be to a writer and their readers. The idea of a “mini-expert “ is discussed throughout this book. The benefits of becoming…

Before I could even comprehend the letters in front of me, my parents instilled in me a love for reading. And, thanks to their patience and diligence, reading and writing have always been my strongest and most beloved subjects. At the age of eight I had read the Harry Potter series multiple times and could recite my favorite passages on demand. By the age of ten I had read most of the books in my local library and by eleven I had begun to read the classics such as Pride and Prejudice. By…

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…

An Essay Aabout Pagan Beliefs and Believers in Purgatory Throughout this Fall semester’s Western Literature class, I have had the opportunity to read a variety of ancient books, poems, plays, and essays. Throughout my time in this class, the assigned readings have broadened my knowledge of forgone cultures by requiring me to read a variety of works by authors I would have otherwise never read. Specifically, works such as the Odyssey, Aeneid, and the Divine Comedy have broaden the spectrum of…
