Reflection Paper On Ecampus

I have truly enjoyed writing for most of my life and after this class I will continue to enjoy writing hopefully with more skill. I have always viewed myself as a fairly strong writer and this class has reaffirmed that for me, but it has also shown weaknesses in my writing. As an introduction level class this has been one of my favorites; at some point I will take a higher level, even though it is not required for my major. Even though this class is almost over I am continuing to learn. I also love that this class will help me with literally ever other class in my college career. I am not a particularly strong reader, but as my writing skills improve so do the reading skills. While in this class I have learned a lot about everything from what I can improve, to subjects that interest me, and constructing a successful paper.

FOUN1019 is a reading and writing course that is aimed at helping students to comprehend, analyze, evaluate and think critically when engaging in academic text. Also, it will help students to write more coherently using different styles of writing that will assist them in their other courses as well as outside of academia. When I began the course FOUN1019 this semester, I had expected that by the end of the semester I would be much more proficient in English Language as it pertains to my attitude to writing. This semester was one that came with much difficulty and obstacles which I have not overcome. My teacher had so many expectations for her students and encouraged us profusely to read widely, prepare assignments and utilize the resources that the course offered. However, in my case I rarely did much of what was asked of me, hence, my unsatisfactory performance thus far. My attitude to writing was instinctual negative and as a result this posed a challenge in letting my thoughts and ideas to flow on paper. Certainly, my writing skills have been

This class has been a big eye opener for me and I will be taking a lot of this information with me as I continue to complete other courses. What I have learned the most would be dealing with time-management and how to improve my essays by improving my writing skills. It is important to me to continue to improve on my writing as will help me become a better writer in the future.

“Returning to school after so many years of not attending, to obtain a degree can be a struggle for many people throughout their life, but it also has its benefits, changes, challenges, and goals. Initially, I had planned to go to college right after high school, but due to many family problems I was unable to. It would be another eight years before I would make the decision to enroll in school. My reasons for returning to school are to higher my education, have a better career/ job, and to better my life, as well as the life of my daughter. Returning to school for me, has had its benefits, changes, challenges, and goals. In this paper, I plan to give you a brief

I hope to learn a lot during this course, but I mainly want to enhance my writing abilities. The ability to have a professional tone and style in all of my technical and academic writing is important. I want to be able to be correct and concise, without lacking any essential information. Furthermore, knowing when to apply different styles of writing to different audiences is important. Lastly, learning all of the grammar that I tend to forgot about such as, semicolons and colons, and when to use them. Overall, I’m excited to take this class and I’m ready to put in my full effort to receive the grade I want to

I expect to improve on my writing skills from this class not because the professor had great ratings but i feel like the class in general can help me improve in the spots where I need them the most. I do lack on thesis development and many

Moreover, I consider homework assignments and activities in this course to be helpful. They have enhanced my writing skills, as I know how to write a story, a scenario, and how to support my argument. Frankly speaking, English writing must be my weakest point. However, due to our professor, all instructions were given in a precise manner and I could understand all tasks.

When I first started this course, my grades were not where I wanted them to be. I found myself feeling down about it because I expected more from myself. I knew it was not my best work, and wondered what I could do to improve them. With “Achiever” as a strength, I am pushed by my drive.(Clifton, Anderson, Schreiner, 2006). I thrive off of hard work and often look to myself for the motivation needed to complete whichever task is needed. Seeing those grades made me want to improve and work harder. I began to set aside time to only focus on my

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.

decision to return back to school and complete my degree at first was an overwhelming course of

Going back to school has been a big fear of mine for quite some time. After completing my associates degree 11 years ago, I struggled to figure out if my job would be my career. After moving multiple times overseas and back to the United States, I finally worked up the courage to talk to college counselors and determine the best degree for my personal and professional needs.

In this course, I enhanced my reading and writing skills. Reading and analyzing stories allowed me to become a better critical thinker. Beside, Learning to review and identify errors with the help of my peers and my instructor improved the quality of my writing. Also, I gained valuable practice in evaluating the credibility of sources that I would include in my writing.Finally, I also want to thank this class since I become more confident in my writing and my reading abilities

Attitude: After reading chapters 1-4 in my textbook my attitude toward completing this course is optimistic. Writing has always been one of my weaker skills and I am hoping to improve my skills drastically after completing this course. I know the improvement will only come after lots of practice. Just as the common phrase says, practice makes perfect! Being required to take this course will only improve my skills. I feel like I already have a great base to build off of and completing all the course objectives will for sure sky rockets my skills.

Through the assignments from this course, I have gotten better at forming opinions and also finding the best way to organize them in my writing. To continue becoming a better writer in these aspects, I will continue to research topics I am interested in, and from that, develop stronger opinions and responses. Another important factor to being organized and focused is expanding my vocabulary so my writing will have be concise and

This course like my entire first semester of university have provided me with both many challenges as well as taught me many lessons not only for my university career, but for the rest of my life. As I reflect back on the semester, I recall telling myself at least once a week that I wanted to drop out of school, followed by many breakdowns, crying fits and calling defeat. The past few months, haven’t been at all easy for me, I have thought many times I wasn’t intelligent enough to be in university, I was disappointed with some of the grades I received and I was constantly engulfed in a swarm of stress. Despite all these tough times, I have had many good one’s as well, I have made new friends which are now integral to my everyday life and I have enhanced my knowledge to a new degree. Some of the many lessons that I’ve already learned in my short university experience include how to manage my time, the importance of meeting deadlines as well as the continuous struggle of balancing the various different facets of life.
