My Reflection Of My Writing Class

I began this course with goals to significantly improve my writing. I knew there were challenges for me to overcome, because I have not written much at all since high school, which has been more than twenty four years ago. Nonetheless, I was up for the challenge and each week I made sure to do exactly as instructed in the weekly syllabus, reading each every assignment very carefully. At first I felt overwhelmed, but as I completed the homework and discussion post assignments for the weeks prior to the major papers, the overwhelming feelings subsided and I concentrated on each task at hand.

I feel that I have improved my writing abilities during the course of this class. I am looking forward to applying the new found skills to future classes. One valuable tip I learned was to always read a paper out loud before turning it in. This has helped me to catch many errors. I had never thought of doing this prior to this class. It is an excellent tip because when you’re reading to yourself in your head you often miss errors. Once you read them out loud you can hear how things sound and will notice if something does not sound right. Putting the assignment away and coming back to it was also a great tip. I have found when I come back to an assignment I will notice a wrong word or punctuation that I hadn’t seen before. It also gives you a chance to really think on the topic and come up with more detail.

I am a better writer now because this class taught me to consider the readers of a document before you even start writing it. I usually just jump into writing a paper and do not consider who will be reading it. Taking the time to figure out who the readers of the document will be and considering their wants and needs was a new idea for me. This concept has helped my writing become more reader-friendly and also helps me focus my ideas before I even

Wow, where do I begin? When I first came into this class I assumed it was just another boring writing class that I just needed to walk away with an A in. Boy did I walk away with more. The main things I came away with were that writing is a way to express myself when I don’t have the voice to say it. Sometimes it's much easier to write my ideas on paper and later find the proper word choice to bring it all together. I became my biggest critic, whether it was about using the correct word choice or correcting my paper and realizing that my sentences weren’t flowing smoothly. Those are pretty big components to writing. So yes, I’d say this class changed my outlook on writing.

Initially, I came to Texas A&M for the opportunity to become a chemical engineer. Chemical engineering always sparked my interest, but soon after I started school I realized engineering was not what I expected. The lack of passion for engineering, made me question if I made the right decision regarding my major and even the college I was attending. This internal conflict festered all semester until one day a realization was made. I had a growing passion in chemistry. Chemistry was intriguing and the possibilities that a chemistry degree offered astonished me. Opportunities like going to medical school, working with cosmetics or going into forensic science, were all accessible with a chemistry degree. After

I have improved as a writer greatly since the beginning of the year. Many great accomplishments have happened from just writing all the time and taking a greater look on how to improve writing. Since the First-Week essay and the Midterm Reflection, I have gained many skills that I can take with to college in the future. Also, I learned how to write conclusions, in text citations, bibliography and connecting the thought into another topic in the same paragraph better. Some of the skills I have gained through this course is the discipline to continue making progress on the essay, organization and not putting the project off until last minute.

My writing has improved in many ways this semester, one of the big ways (of which I

After taking this class, I believe that I have become a better writer. My vocabulary has improved over this semester and it helps my essay sound more mature and smart. I have learned how to set my page up to MLA format, and it makes it easier for me and the teacher to read it effortlessly. MLA citation and in text citation makes it easier for reader to locate my source’s location. Also, the transitional word paper that was given to me, has helped me throughout this semester. My grammar has improved. I now know how to use a comma probably, it needs improvement, and I am working on it to improve

I can say I got a lot out of this class. So even though this class was more difficult than I anticipated I learned so many things that I did not know before about writing. I feel much more comfortable continuing forth with writing essays in my future writing assignments and

This class has been one of the more challenging classes I had this semester. It was challenging because it forced me to really sit down and check my writing process. It gave me a whole new outlook on how I write my papers. I always thought that I was pretty decent at writing papers and I would not have to worry too much. However, this class has given me a new perspective and has allowed me to see that there are many areas that I could improve on in my writing. I needed to improve in areas such as the style of my writing and my sentence structure. I needed to work on my grammar and my punctuation. I had to work on paying more attention to the little details in my writing. This class has allowed for me to really deconstruct and examine how I

The three main things we were taught in this class have improved for me. The writing process has changed how I write all of my essays. Before this class I wrote a rough draft then a final. My papers all include four different steps in them now. Prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing are all important steps. When we were prewriting

Let's face it; writing is n't exactly a favorite course for most of us. Writing classes hold many unthought-of benefits. In my College Writing course, I significantly improved my writing skills and was an eye-opening learning experience. Initially, writing essays intimidated me; I learned that my grammar was terrible and that I had forgotten the many components of the writing process. Overall, I inherited many writing skills that significantly strengthened my overall writing abilities and my confidence in my work.

Before taking this course my writing styles and habits were very different. I was the typical procrastinator because I would wait until the night before a paper was due to start it. This did not allow me enough time to properly proofread everything, which resulted in getting points deducted for simple grammatical errors that could have been avoided if I would have had the time to proofread. My writing styles have many strengths and weaknesses and I have been able to improve my writing because of them. I have learned from my strengths and weaknesses how to become a better writer.

This college course proved to be one of the most challenging classes I have taken in high school. In addition to learning how to improve my writing and reading skills, I had to be responsible with my time. This can lead to difficulties because I learned that I am a slow reader. Fortunately, my understanding of the text is not compromised as I just simply tend to take my time when it comes to reading the assigned novels for this semester. For the most part, I think that my ability to analyze any type of reading has improved. One aspect that I think has improved dramatically is my ability to critically analyze a novel through different schools of criticism. Learning about different criticisms has vastly increased the number of perspectives I can use in order to effectively analyze a novel. This is especially helpful as I discover more genres to read. I can attempt

English Composition 1 is a course that requires time and dedication to succeed. Before I took this class, I believed English 101 would be a course I would be able to breeze right through. However, as I began to receive essays back, I realized I needed to work harder to achieve the grades I desired. During this semester, the goal of this class has been to improve structure, style of writing, and overall performance. The curriculum included essays and discussion topics from varying informative subjects. Furthermore, with the aid of this class, I had the opportunity to enhance my writing skills.
