Reflection On My Writing Submission

I believe I got the grade that I got because I didn’t spend time more look over my paper more carefully. I noticed after I saw the comment that the reason I repeated myself a lot because when I did my revisions on my paper, I didn’t really by close attention to what I wrote and what I wrote before. That led me to repeat myself few times in my paper. When I was final checking my paper, I thought there should be more Honda discussion than Audi because the Honda ad is my main discussion. I didn’t know that there should be a balanced ratio between both of them. I am happy with the grade that I got for my paper, but I could’ve gotten a better grade if I checked my paper more carefully than what I did before I turned it in.

I have improved very much in my writing process over this semester. I have grown as a writer in each writing process step such as prewriting, drafting, revising and editing, and overall. Outlining, writing a good thesis, getting peer reviewed, and giving myself plenty of time to finish a paper are new strengths that I have learned over the semester. I will reflect on all the topics in the writing process and my growth in argumentation essays. In fact, my previous attitude and feelings about writing was that I disliked it, and I knew that it was a weakness of mine. Now, I feel that I can write a strong argumentation essay. I have the sense that I have progressed a considerable amount from my first essay to my last.

From the first assignment to the last, I realized that my writing process has changed a lot. I usually write my papers in my room, whether on a desk or on my bed. I did not organize my thoughts as eloquently as I should have. My ideas were more sporadic, and I did not give myself as much time to write it out. In addition, I was more worried about the page limit rather than the content of my work. Similar to the other assignments, I did not start my process with an outline. I went straight towards writing my paper without giving any structure, which did not help with the organization of my papers in this class.

Taking advantage of these available resources will improve my writing and critical thinking skills. One resource that will help me with time management and organization is The Assignment Calendar. The Assignment Calendar will be utilize every quarter. When dates are added to this tool, it gives a printer friendly version of the steps needed to complete the project. After I preview the course syllabus, I will start adding due dates of assignments so that I have a structured outline. In order for me to stay on track with my goals, I will employ the Database Research Log. My objective is to start my research and record my findings using the Database Research Log to keep track of the key word searches as well as the findings from my research. This document also prevents me from losing track of my sources. Although writing is an area of concern for me, I see that there are supports readably available on the Capella website. Smarthinking and Turnitin will become a part of my quarterly usage. My intention is to use the Assignment Calendar to schedule the due date of an assignment days before it is due so that I have time to submit to Smarthinking for feedback prior to submission. Based on the requirements of an assignment, Turnitin will help me identify the areas of concern by showing me my

Review of my course, I have learned some new techniques that have improved my writing and learning how to tone, grammatical errors, and writing format such as MLA style, and how to use them in my writing. Looking for appropriate essays for my research essay was the hardest part since I must read every essay related to the topic thoroughly, and look for points that can support my arguments. As for the argument part, I have learned how to provide an argument, and how to look for reliable sources in OC library and to properly quote and paraphrase. My improvement of writing skills can be seen in each essay. Before class. I have to read a lot of readings and it made me nervous. This is like an impossible mission, but I am glad that I finally go

My writing looks like the game Tetris – I write according to how my ideas flow from my head to my paper. The English 1010 lessons are designed to impact my writing processes and since being in the course I have realized the importance of the process while preparing the paper. While I knew that practice and revisions were important to the writing process, the ideas of writing as inherently collaborative or as an extension of technology were not concepts that I had considered at length. For the assignment, I chose to record myself and reflect on my process. The observation of my writing process and decisions took place in an awkward way. I began sitting at my desk in my dorm with a black ink pen, wide-ruled paper, and the prompt of my essay. It took a good bit of time for the process to begin – all the distractions had to run out, frequent checks on social media, quick trip to the snack machine, and responding to text messages. Finally, it was time to start. I can begin. “Ok, outline” I said to myself. “What’s your main point?” And so, I started, pen to paper, writing the three main ideas I knew I wanted to cover in the paper. I did discover, however, that I scratch my head while I am thinking and as I write I would catch myself reading aloud.

The ways my writing has improved this year is that for one, it comes easier to me. In school, english hasn’t always been my best subject because writing doesn’t come easily to me. The flow of creativity just doesn’t come easy to me. If I had to choose between english and math, I would pick math because it comes easier to me than english does. I used to think of writing as throwing a bunch words into a sentence and hoping that it sounds coherent. But since the beginning of this school year, I have been able to understand writing easier because I have been writing so much. Like the saying says, practice makes perfect. Each essay or writing prompt I have written has made me a better writer. Now, when I write, I can make coherent sentences using

After the gathering of data for this paper, I initiated with my writing work for this paper. First of all, I prepared the rough draft and outline with the plan to cover every area in the paper. I get this draft and plan approved by my teacher and gained further recommendations from him. I dedicated a specific time for researching, writing, editing, and proofreading of every area before submitting to my teacher to check and highlight any error or need for improvement. This enabled me to gain more guidelines from my teacher regarding my paper to complete it with efficiency and on time. These guidelines further polished my researching, writing, editing, and proofreading skills. Furthermore, the guidelines I gained from my teacher during the completion

As I have not paid attention to media lately, I am going to focus on my writing process.

I have always had a passion for writing as it has always come easy to me. As with all writers, I do know my weaknesses when it comes to my writing. Personally, I believe my strengths as a writer consist of having organization and logic within my papers. My weakness is having a lack of creativity. I have always had difficulty expressing creativity through my writing and have resorted to writing clean-cut, dry papers. I took this class for a degree requirement, but also possibility to improve my writing skills. Over the semester, this course has polished my writing skills and has taught me many new ones, such as becoming more concise with my writing and going through research steps. Due to the helpfulness of this course, I would recommend this course to all incoming freshmen at the University of Cincinnati.

In English Composition II I have been learning how to use all parts of higher-level thinking. I believe this should help me to view the discussions and debates gone over in class in a different perspective. I have learned about socioeconomic qualities, the notion of race, and identity crisis that will help me to cope with people feelings and mines have found better ways to cope avoiding the stereotypes that history has left certain groups of the population with a cold shoulder. I have learned the proper ways to oversee the issues and problems in the recent units we’ve read. I believe these topics I can always learn from to make me become a leading student. I like to find better ways and solutions to help me distinguish the concepts of the

Smarthinking provides services for writing papers, tutoring, & study aids for different subjects that range from pre-algebra through sociology (Smarthinking, 2016). The service that would benefit me most in the future would be the writing center. You can practice your writing by submitting a practice essay or you can submit your final essay for evaluation. I used this resource only once and it was very beneficial. The area that I struggled in was writing an effective thesis. It helped because I was able to revise my thesis before submitting my final version. The key to receiving feedback in a timely manner is by working ahead and not waiting until the last minute. I once had an assignment that was due on Sunday and I waited until

When rereading my major paper one, I noticed a few issues but also a few improvements. My writing had improved from exercise one tremendously, I managed to really focus on making this paper an informational paper whereas in my other writing I struggled with putting my opinion in. My writing also improved in the grammatical sense I noticed fewer comma splices and run on sentences. My paper had taken on a professional tone, that my previous writing lacked. Areas my writing could still use some improvement though is in introducing quotations, when reviewing back through my paper I noticed many of the quotations were awkwardly placed or just not introduced correctly. My writing could also see improvement in avoiding the repetition of certain

I have been reflecting on my writing skills since probably week 7, which was exploratory research. I found myself, since starting English 123 online at Embry-Riddle University to attempt to write better on a sticky note to even my family members. I have become more conscious of what I am writing, how I am writing it and who I am trying to write for. Quite frankly, I highly doubt I will ever write in my free time write or even voluntarily take another English class but I will reflect on a couple key modules that I will take with me through my post secondary education.

I think I worked hard on this essay. I tried to make in better for each draft. I had enjoyed telling my story, because I nobody know it before. It was helpful to write it and get in go. My biggest problem was to give more details. It was hard to remember the story, but I tried to give as much details as I could. I am proud for my details, they are in right order and there are many of them. I hadn’t known that I need to give all the details that happened to me.
