Punctuation

I improved on a lot of things in the elements of writing. It has helped me get a lot of work done and actually being interested in writing papers and learning new ways to improve myself as a writer. Writing papers was never my strong point, I was never very good at it. Papers to me have become very manageable with the help of this class and my teacher. Writing in my opinion, doesn’t just communicate ideas, it generates them. When writing I tend to need help by others because I may not realize my…

The reading case that I will be using for this artifact showcases my capability to make wise decisions about what should be taught and how it should be taught, according to the educational needs of a student.

hard for me. It just seems easier to just push writing away, maybe because I feel I don’t have the confidence on what it takes to be a “good writer”. But who is a good writer or what does it mean to me to be a good writer? Complete sentences, punctuation, capitalization, grammar, transition, emotions, writing format, being interested in a topic, grabbing the reader’s attention, a theme, these are all what I consider to be what good writing is or what a good writer does. I hope that as I take…

expression also would have been average or poor. They were very redundant throughout their essay. Each paragraph talks about pretty much the same things. The mechanics also would have been average or poor. There were many mistakes in grammar and punctuation in this…

I think my attendance record for this class is exceptional. I managed to maintain my grade in English-111-801. I have been an active participant in the Blackboard discussions. Writing as much as we did in this class, helped me improve my writing skills. I am not sure if my classmates, but when I wrote the reviews, I tried to be as thoughtful and thorough as possible. I believe my ability to think analytically and to critique has improved over the course of the semester. I have learned how to…
