My First Assignment Analysis

From my very first assignment to my fourth I personally think that I have improved with my writing skills. The feedback that my peers and professor

With every paper I write I learn something new. Shortly after starting my first semester of college I realized I would be writing a lot of papers. From term papers in every class, to an English paper due every few weeks. In English 101 I wrote a persuasive paper. With the coming to terms assignment I really dug into someone else’s persuasive paper and dissected it piece by piece. I recalled the rules to writing a persuasive paper and compared it with the op-ed article. I really enjoyed that I was able to do that because I felt that I learned something and I was able to apply my knowledge in a later class. Going through the writing process for this paper I learned a lot. To dissect an article and pick out the project, aims, methods, and materials

In the first assignment, I assessed my writing with the online tool PaperRater. The score received was below average on almost all fronts, which surprised me. I established a goal to be writing weekly and applying online tools to provide feedback. While I have not completed this goal in a way I expected, my writing style has been enhanced. I put this improvement down to my research and study throughout this unit, as well as entering into a new workplace that requires a higher level of professionalism than my previous workplace.

In regards to writing, I have always struggled to meet all of the requirements for a perfect paper that includes a well-organized text filled with rich analytical sentences. In the beginning of the semester I constantly worried about the structure of my writing and its overall material. In high school it was important for me to complete my essays by answering the questions that I was given, but in college, students go more into depth. College students are required to focus on grammar, and well-structured ideas that flow along with rich analytical content. After I was given my first assignment I was pressured to improve my overall work by focusing on structure and developing analytical content. Assignments such as the weekly readings and writing assignments helped me improve my overall work. Through the narrative essay, artist research essay and Storify project I focused on many aspects that improved my writing. For all of my assignments, it was useful to use techniques, such as, reading out loud to revise the structure of my work and going into depth with description.

As a student, it’s been an experiences. Over the course; I have grown and learned more on different skills of writing. I been a student at Colorado Christian University for about a year. One specific experiences that I’d recall, was when I had to write a letter to a co-worker. I thought I communicated well, however the feedback that I received told me the opposite. The co-worker told me that I had broken English in my writing. He told me that he was confused on what I was trying to explain. Even though what he said was true, I was upset. I didn 't realize then, that it was important for his feedback. I had taken many English courses, and it taught me that in order to become a writer, was to write. One way that helped me improve and overcome my weakness of writing was feedback from my professors and other students. The next step was to find ways to keep organized when I began to write. In spite of all my mistakes and weakness as a writer, communication was important through writing, because we have to use strong academic language to write. To point out that these are just a few I listed as a reflection on my writing skills.

I can remember my first writing assignment like it was yesterday. The Spring of 2011, I was a Junior at Goose Creek High School in South Carolina. In Creative Writing class with my teacher Mr. Geary, this kind of writing was a new learning experience for me. The first assignment he wanted us to complete was an essay telling our classmates about ourselves and the things that make us unique. It was a paper highlighting key moments in our lives that got us to where we are and who we are.

Focus Student 2 completed the assessment solving 4 out 6 correctly 66% accuracy. As expected, all of the multiplication was correctly calculated. Recalling multiplication facts is a strength of Focus Student 2. On the other hand, rushing and making careless mistakes is a weakness of Focus Student 2. Two errors were made by Focus Student 2 during the assessment. On number 4 and 5, the error was made when adding the four products. The student did not align the numbers with the biggest number on top. With this, numbers start to fall out of place and addition errors were made.

For expecting parents, who have low income, preparing for their expected child can be very difficult. These difficult preparations have an impact on the child’s life before it is born. Parents who have low income, may not be able to afford the education they need to learn in raising a newborn child. This includes, not knowing what to feed a baby at certain ages, what to do when a baby is feeling sick, how to tell if a baby is sick, etc. Low-income parents also struggle to prepare for their newborn baby in regards to the essentials. Although the price of diapers, medicine, outfits, etc. may not seem expensive on the shelf of the store. The price is extreme when considering how much overtime needs to be bought.

Throughout the course of my writing career this semester at High Point University, I feel as if I have kept my reputation of being a good writer. In high school my papers were said to been adequate worked and excelled when it came to using good transitions and language. Given these factors, I came to college with the same attitude that I am a good writer, and will produce well written work whenever I am asked to submit an assignment as such. I feel as if I have not slacked off from this, and that I have only gotten better by utilizing feedback from my peers and professors that give constructive criticism. The constructive criticism from peers has helped due to it being from a more relatable person, it helps that it is from someone who is doing

As a writer you make mistakes with your work, but you can also fix things, so the next time you won 't make those mistakes again. In the area of writing I feel like I can use some more improvement with my punctuation and where I place them. When an assignment does come up and after I write it each time I learn something new. Not only writing in this class can be easy at times it can also be challenging, which I love about these assignments. I enjoy writing because at times I do get challenged, but I enjoy that challenge that Mr.Perry gives me, because it helps me improve as a writer.Overall as a writer in the beginning I felt like I was not a great but now as the semester is starting to end I feel more confidant and I feel I can write

Throughout my first semester at the University of Portland, the quality of my writing progressively increased. My English 112 class contained many different activities that contributed to helping me become a better writer. Informal writing assignments, class discussions, peer review sessions and the writing center were just some of the resources available to me that helped progress not only my writing ability but my overall reading & writing analysis skills as well. Not only did I make new relationships with my peers, these relationships also helped me understand the content more thoroughly, work out any problems that I had with my ideas, and encourage me to be more social among my fellow classmates as well. Nearing the end of this

For new students, I feel like the most important thing that you need to know is that you shouldn’t procrastinate in ENDS 101. Even if they think they are master procrastinators, capable of starting an assignment an hour before its due and turning it on minutes before, that sometimes doesn’t work. Part of that reason is because the way the instruction are formatted, they might miss an important part and loss a ton of points, as well as the fact that ecampus sometimes takes a while to turn in assignments. For example, it took ten minutes for me to submit my Individual assignment 2 and if I had tried turning it in last minute, it would have for sure been late, making me lose a ton of points.

This week involved some serious reading. Not only did I cover, this weeks reading assignment, I also reread all the previous chapters. This was perhaps over-kill but it should position me well in the last week prior to the finals. Surprisingly the most difficult sections to read was from the prior two weeks. I might have mentioned in my last journal that I found the concepts greasy and difficult to hold onto. It appears they slipped my mind and had to be relearned. This time the material appears to have stuck and hopefully will remain there, at least until the final exam.

I don’t disagree with your score; instead, it provides a great point about how we, as teachers, come from different backgrounds and it does make an impact in our grading philosophies. We are both middle school teachers grading a second graders paper. Therefore, we are both not used to this particular age level; as a result, our opinions and expectations maybe slightly different. By doing this assignment, it shows how important it is to use an assessment tool, not only does it help the student it also helps the teacher(s).

When I restarted my college career to make sure as many opportunities in the corporate world would be available to me as possible, an English writing class was not where I wanted to begin. However, it was a requirement and I had no choice if I wanted to earn my college degree. Before taking this English class, I seldom wrote more than a general correspondence email or letter, and I never really thought about how well I wrote them, or were they even effectively written to convey the point I was trying to make. I was quite humbled by my grade on the second essays of this course. I thought I could write better than I actually can. This was an eye-opening experience that left me feeling like (knowing should I say) I am a sub-par writer.
