Personal Reflective Essay

Throughout this course, I was able to assess and evaluate my weaknesses and strengths in writing. This class has truly brought out my ability to write, a skill I did not believe I had. I now know what it takes to become a college-level writer. Also, at the beginning of the course I did not particularly enjoy writing. Now, however, I have a greater respect for

While I appreciated that one of my peers provided feedback on my work, I feel that the feedback that was provided did not fulfill the assignment. My peer did not provide detailed feedback on my paper that could be adequately incorporated in my review and revisions. Most of the information that was provided as feedback were simply statements that reiterated what the prompt question was. Please see the below feedback provided to me by my peer.

Going into ENG 102 I aim to challenge myself as a writer and an online learner. Having never taken an online class at Stout before, I look forward to this new experience. By taking ENG 102 online I would like to improve my time management skills, by having the freedom to take ENG 102 while I also take a speech class this semester is important to me. While I enjoy writing, my greatest weaknesses are spelling and grammar. By improving my weaknesses, I plan to develop a more professional writing style, along with expending my vocabulary. Throughout high school, I greatly enjoyed reading, and discussions, that come along with analyzing literary works. Two of my favorite authors are Donna Tratt and Willa Cather, I look forward to learning with

As I reflect on my time at UC Merced, by far, I have come at a realization that as my first year as an undergraduate student I have had the greatest opportunity to learn about what it like to live the college life. As a student at UC Merced I have gained many experiences academically and socially, I have also gained the opportunity in meeting new people and making new friend. During my time in Writing 001, also known as my Academic Writing course,

As the time goes by, it comes to the end of my first quarter in UC Davis. In my first quarter, I decided to take the UWP 21 course to improve my English language skills, learn new knowledge about writing, and eventually become a better writer. After a consecutive series of academic study, I believe that I have made great progress in my writing ability and been qualified to attend the UWP22 course for new challenges.

A pivotal moment in my development as a writer is Azusa Pacific University’s English class. College English class is building

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of a college English class is great deal of reading and paperwork. In a typical English class I expect lengthy reading assignments and a ton of writing, but for this course, I expect to accomplish more than just reading stories and writing essays based on them. In this course I expect to acquire the literary skills that would enable and enhance my abilities to read, write and think at a college level. Majority of college English courses utilize a foundation of critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. Taking this course should improve my overall writing ability and broaden my perspective as a creative writer.

As people always recognize kids for their strength, I’ve been put a writer card in my wallet of identity since I was young (according to my mum, I wrote earlier than anybody in Kindergarten, although she forgot I was also older than anybody). To be honest, while sometimes I’m proud of it, sometimes this “Write and Wrong” identity really creates pressure and constriction. I surprisingly found out Hamilton is really where I’m looking for. The open curriculum with a stress on writing and speaking can let students truly explore the liberal arts while building a solid communication capability base. I’ll be able to meet more possibilities and potentials with the guide of “The Quill Pen” that has been leading this college for years. The next time

This is a reflective essay based on a event which took place in a hospital setting. The aim of this essay is to explore how members of the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) worked together and communicate with each other to achieve the best patients outcome.

Attending my first day of class I was a little unsure about how valuable it would be. I questioned whether it would be a wasted course. Upon meeting my professor Mr. Wilbert I knew I had interest in this class. I have taken many English classes but never with someone as passionate or as talented as Wilbert. I decided I was going to put my best foot forward and in turn become a better writer.

College Writing 1 is my first college writing class ever, I have high hopes I will learn a lot. I hope during this class I learn how to correctly cite different sources, learn new styles of writing, and fine tune the writing skills I already have. I think the most challenging part of this class will be keeping up with all the different writings we do, from journal entries to a research paper. Another thing that will be a challenge is the amount of words needed for each paper. I will need to practice how to write more in depth to make sure I at least hit the two hundred fifty word mark. The thing I am most excited for with this class is to be able to write again. As a former writer for the Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania newspaper, writing food

As the many weeks have passed, and the several eye-opening tutorials have come to completion, I can presently pronounce some growths, experiences, and insights from my second semester as a writing tutor. Overall, there has been a positive atmosphere once again throughout the Writing Center and from all the students who come to visit it. Also, there has been a whopping amount of new learning styles that I have dealt with in the Writing Center this semester. However, none were so unique and eye-opening as one particular session that I had a few weeks ago.

Muriel Hall (1995), Founder and Director of the Purdue is Writing Lab, argues that writing center are not only integral to student success, but are also important to maintain retention (27). Texas A&M is one of the largest universities with high student population, and there are many students, especially freshmen’s and sophomores who struggle with their classes and seek for resources that help them with their academic struggles. UWC and ASC are two of the university initiatives that address the students’ need to help them with their classes and enhance their academic performance.

As the year draws to a close, I reflect on what I have accomplished in my first semester of college. Not only have I grown as a writer but also as a person. This year was full of changes but I am glad that I remained steadfast in my beliefs and skills. While I learned things about myself in this course I also gained important writing and research skills.
