Reflection On College Writing

Writing isn’t simply a skill that you can check off your list. The point of taking writing courses in college is to help you grow as an author and researcher. Take advantage of the great writing resources — including required composition courses — that your institution has to offer, to help you become the best writer possible!

Essay 1 was about a Mission Statement that I had to write for myself something personal which explains something that is truthful and explains who and what I am and what I am strving to achieve when searching my name “Brian Mamuyac”. What I did to prepare for this assignment was that our instructor gave us the prompt ahead of time and I created a rough draft and when we had to meet up in the computer room I just had to type up my essay and turn it in. The challenging part of this essay would be understanding the prompt because I had no idea what a Mission statement was and what I was supposed to do. For Essay 1 I was marked down for redundancy, repetition, grammar and spelling and also clutter. What I can do to prevent the errors in my next version would be to understand the prompt and directions more and have more ideas to write about myself.

The importance of college-level writing is a topic that is very much backed up and accompanied by facts and studies. Writing in the college-level is needed in order to master college work in any class. Basically all classes require you to more than likely submit some kind of research paper or essay. Writing for Learning to Improve Students’ Comprehension at the College Level by Fahad Alharbi as well as Luiza Costa Ribeiro, Writing Essays at College: Why it’s Important both go into detail on how important writing at this level is and all the skills learned for during and after college. As well on how you can benefit from them.

This semester was my very first semester as a college student. Being the first, it was probably the semester I would learn the most in. I learned the expectations for writing that I will have to live up to for the next four years of my college career. Though my high school teachers were usually demanding because I was in the Honors English section throughout high school, writing in college has still ?raised the bar? for me. Also, in high school, we would have weeks to pick a topic, create a thesis, outline the paper, write the paper, and then revise the paper. In college, the time restraints are not quite as lenient. I?ve had to learn to manage my time and be more productive with what free moments I

When it comes to college level writing and how many sentences should be in a paragraph, I personally keep mine to about 5 to 7 sentences per paragraph. As a writer, the goal is to get the point across as clearly as possible. What has been most beneficial to most writers is by cutting down on extra or unneeded words; also another technique used is grammar techniques and correct vocabulary usage.

Being able to write well in college can lead to better grades in class, writing skills will help with the personal essay required for admissions. Most professions also require writing skills for reports, whether it's manuals for information technology professionals or reports for doctors or accountants. Furthermore, business professionals who can write well are able to more effectively.

At the beginning of the class this year, I didn’t expect o to well right off the bat of the college level writing course because I had always struggled with English in middle school through high school. To my surprise though, I have learned many things this semester and have already used some of these skills in other papers in other classes I had. Thanks to the help of Sue Oakes, I can now say proudly that I can actually write a decent paper and feel rather confident about it.

Writing is something the vast majority of college students are familiar with. Because they do a lot of it. College professors use writing assignments to help them determine whether or not their students understand the course curriculum because you can’t write well if you don’t understand the topic in which you are writing about.so with that said, if you bemoan the very thought of having to complete more than a few writing assignments, college could be very stressful for you. That is unless you decide to become a better writer. It doesn’t stop at college either, most employers consider it an essential job skill one of which could hold you back in your career if you're terrible at it. think about it, how do most businesses communicate? Through

My mother has always told me to dress to impress. In a way, your writing should do the same, no matter if you are writing a college essay or writing a job report for your boss at work. Depending upon the type of writing, in college, some writings are to be professional and precise or relaxed and personal. When writing a paper or report for work, you can be personal if you are applying for a job or requesting a raise, but in both situations, you have to maintain a professional persona so you are taken seriously and seen as worthy of someone else's time. In writing in college and work, normally, you are persuading someone to agree with your opinion or buy

If you were to ask a group of people if writing in college is important, almost everyone would agree that it is, but it’s the next question that stumps everyone and makes them have to think a little deeper. That question is, why? Why is writing in college so important? College writing is a needed necessity in college, and for your future career because most careers require writing or documenting to be done. Not only is it important for everyone’s career but it is especially important for my future in the psychology department.

In the past years of my school journey from middle school now to high-school, I have struggled with writing papers. I was not an excellent writer or rather the best writer. I had trouble with expressing my main idea of my paper whenever I was given a topic. Even though my teachers would tell me to brainstorm before I started writing, I still somehow struggled because I was better at letting ideas flow through my head as I write. I was not an expert at developing sentence structure or details as well. Over the course of my life, I have grown in these areas. Given the opportunity to take this online course, it has taught me a lot about writing from expressing my purpose, developing sentence structure, and more. College level writing is

As we go through our high school experience we all wonder if we'll ever use this information in the real world. We asked ourselves when will we need to know how to write an essay or find the area of a triangle or even who the 32nd president of the United States was. As we leave high school we start to realize the use of all that information that we learned in our 13 years of school. Some of the information is just common knowledge but most of it is used in your college experience. You will have papers to write in nearly every profession. In this paper I am going to explain what I have taken from my prior classes and how what I have learned will help me with future classes and also in the work area.

When I began taking English 1101 I was confident in my writing. I thought my writing was good and would at least get me a “B” at the collegiate level. But I was so wrong, the first college paper I wrote was a disaster. My grade was far from a “B.” In high school I could procrastinate and do papers the night or two before they are due. That would be the biggest mistake I would make upon entering college. I received a 69.5 on my first paper, “C” if you were to round and “D” if you kept the grade as is. After this paper I seen how Writing a paper the night before caused me to have too many unnecessary errors. The main error or problem I missed was I failed to make the essay personal. Again because I waited so late to do the paper, I misunderstood the directions which not only caused me to do the assignment wrong but also do it with low efficiency. Aside from doing the paper last minute, I also had some flaws or weaknesses in my writing to hurt the overall grade of my paper.

College-Level writing is often taught to students when they first begin college. College-Level writing is the more academic standpoint of writing, even in the view point of Patrick Sullivan. While, some students may argue that college-level writing is a skill that doesn’t need to be taught because it can only help you in the classroom, but learning to write in a proper manner can help improve someone’s overall health, mentally and even their physical health, this study has been proven by M Cecil Smith. Writing in a proper manner is a skill that is needed that can help someone in any situation or any problem, as writing has a lot of benefits.

Back in my high school years, I had difficulty in writing. Even in Portuguese, my native language, it was very stressful when I have a writing assignment. As I saw myself as a logical person with zero creativity, the writing was not my favorite subject. My writing experience came from the last six months of learning English in the US when I was, finally, taught to write in a logical and organized way. Learning a structured approach focused on writing as a process, helped me to clarify my idea about how to write. But, does the college-level writing and common-writing mean the same? What differentiates college-level writing from other types of writing? What should we expect from a college-level writing? While there is not a single definition of college-level writing, the different meanings, and controversial interpretations show us its importance.
