Like many as a child, I did not do a great deal reflective learning. Everyone, of course, learns from their mistakes. But does everyone learn from the things they did right? When Dr. Kreps came into the classroom last week, I started looking up questions to ask him. I started to think of some questions that made me question about the experience that I was about to have. Those questions are things like “What did I notice?”, “How did I feel about this?”, and then to further my thinking of what…
English 101), I had an embarrassingly false sense of security about my writing. Although high school was valuable, as it taught me how to concisely put my thoughts together and make a cohesive essay, I was often writing rhetorical analyses or synthesizing given sources – nothing like English 102 required. I was conditioned to write in very limited periods of time with barely a second to look back, which was a bold contrast to the reflective manner of college writing. I’ve discovered that taking…
has really taught me more about the understanding of the writing process and structure, in which helped me to not focus so much on the actual writing parts. Not focusing so much on the writing, helped me to really release my thoughts down on paper because I was worried more about the structure, organization, and proper formatting. I have accomplished a lot over this course I once believed to be unattainable. With my newfound knowledge and experiences…
first narrative essay. The feedback that I received was not only helpful, but I also learned an important lesson in overcoming fear, and adapting to find the right topic. The most helpful feedback that I received was from the instructor, Dr. Frusciante. She gave me a great deal of insight by changing my own words to make them clear and reflective in nature. When I read her first rewrite, it was as if a light bulb were floating above my head. The other students in class, including myself, were…

However, to write about each of the authors would take some time, therefore within the essay, a few of the authors theories on what their beliefs and concept are to the view of self are included. The first…
I am a student at Columbus State Community College. In my English class, I have written several different types of essays and have found myself moving forward as a developing writer with less fear. The positive and reflective class activities, and instructions have really motivated me to believe that I can conquer the quest of freely expressing myself on paper in whichever form of expression that is required. In the past, I have dreaded writing assignments due to me dropping out of school early…
A reflective essay to me is a form of writing that scrutinizes and perceives the progress of the writer 's personal experience. Also, reflective essays describe and explore the development of the writer, and deliberate future goals. I am delighted to reflect on my experience this semester in Management 3120 with Professor McKechnie. Throughout the semester, I have learned enormous concepts through reading and class discussions, which I will be able to use in my profession. This class was a…
Reflective essay Writers Composition One has been a great experience for me. In High School I have been never the best at writing, therefore I wrote poor essays, but being in this writing class with Mrs. Martin has helped me greatly improve my writing. I have learned that writing a perfect essay requires three major things to be well written. These three major keys are personal responsibility, communication skills and critical thinking skills. If these are executed perfectly or with little…
yoga, and anatomy. Every course tested me physically, mentally and emotionally. Let 's be honest, my favorite class was English. The most interesting, most familiar, and by far the one class I didn 't mind learning new things in. I learned more about commas, semicolons, the proper ways to write a review. How to write so many different kind of papers. Which every paper I truly enjoyed. They all were creative, and tested my creativity. Of all of the papers…
