Personal Writing Reflection

a tutor. In regards to writing, I think that this class has helped me become a better writer in several different ways. One way I developed regards writing personal/social narrative essays. I had always felt like I was a strong writer when writing about personal experiences, but the social narrative project challenged me in several different ways. Looking back at my social narrative reflection, I had forgotten how angry and frustrated that project made me. In the reflection I even said “I feel like

More, importantly, I would like to know exactly where I can use improvements, plus I prefer clarity as to where and/or why points were taken off in this class. Sometimes stylistic choice is mistaken for poor writing or incoherent or

from the peer reviews that the professor implemented as well. In writing the the first two essays, I found many improvements in my writing styles as a student. In the truth essay and its revision, I learned about the important of evidence and examples. This helped improve my writing style and essay because it provided information in areas that I was lacking. I felt as though my narrative

I decided to take Writing 101 not only because it’s a degree requirement but, because I wanted to understand sentence structures and punctuation at a higher level. When I first started writing 101, I had a High School level writing skill that had severely degraded over time and a lack of confidence in my writing capabilities. This entire experience honestly took so much time out of my schedule because I felt like I had to relearn everything. I would take extra time to go through the courses and even

After reading through my mission statement and looking at where I started in writing papers up until this point I can say that I have improved tremendously. The more papers I wrote the more experience I had as a writer which helped me enhance my essays significantly. Composition I has taught me various different skills in writing that I will use and continue to use for the rest of my life. In my mission statement I mentioned that I wanted to improve on my comma placement and run-on sentences. Along

Reflecting upon my previous work over this past semester I have discovered some reoccurring themes that threaded throughout my weekly writing assignments. I would be the first to say that I am a “writer in progress”. As a young student, I received special education services in literacy and math. My early struggles with literacy has seeped into my writing as I have continued my academic career. Being given the opportunity to take the time to reflect upon my work from one class over a period of time

The Writing Process: A Personal Reflection The knowledge learned from writing ultimately leads to communication that is more effective. The writing process empowers us with the skills needed to communicate in any setting we may find ourselves, and ultimately, empowers the student to write on an academic level. For me, this course has been more helpful and insightful than I ever imagined. First, the MindEdge English Composition 1 eLearning course is set up so effectively it is remarkable. I had

As frustrating as writing a paper can be sometimes in different styles, it is still important that we learn how to. We must learn the proper guidelines and techniques that are associated with a particular style in order to truly create a masterpiece. While each paper is ultimately different in the topics that need to be addressed, all of them must start from one idea. Once we have that one idea set in stone, that is where we build upon the paper by trying to understand our exigence-the purpose and

Enrolling in this class I was unclear as to what to expect, but within the first weekly assignment I could understand the benefits it would

At first writing poetry was an obstacle for me because I haven’t done it since high school, so to refresh my mind I’ve made numerous Google searches, usually about how to write poetry or at least how to make it stand out and not become cliche— especially if we’re doing a particular type of poetry, such as the metaphors and similes unit. On a piece of paper I’ll usually write a basic
