Reflective Essay On My Writing Style

Writing is one of the most important skills that I have learned throughout my years in school. I have learned that no matter how much I love or hate it, writing is a necessity; I might as well try to be good at it. Writing has been in my life for many years. There are many types of writing, educational writing and personal writing are two that I will mention in this essay. I have learned how to allow writing to help me in my daily life. When I began writing I hated it, however, I have learned the many uses of it, and it has become a huge part of my life.

The initial critiques I received from the professor where somewhat expected. In my drafts I try to just write down everything

At first this seemed to be easy but I later began to notice the assignment might become boring to some reader’s. After finishing the assignment I felt good with the outcome but knew that I could have written a better paper. This was obvious after the instructor reviewed the assignment and gave me a grade that hit hard. This showed me first hand that I was a good writer but was far from being prefect. After picking myself up, I reviewed the notes she provided and made the suggested changes. I then resubmitted the assignment in hopes the changes were correct and I would get a final grade that I knew I was capable of earning. After waiting the final grade was submitted and I had earned a grade I knew I could earn. I know that without the help of my peers and the instructor this would have not been

I have figured my essay out, and I hope that it is not like a “report” right now. Could you please help me to check it, and give me some other comments too?

When I started to think about writing my revision a couple weeks back, I was conflicted on which assignment I wanted to revise. I then chose assignment 2 because I felt like it needed the most improvement out of any other paper that I have written for this class. The most biggest thing that swayed me to write about this assignment was that it was my lowest grade for any assignment that I have written for this class. What did not help my grade on the first assignment was that it was turned in 1 day past the due date which deducted my letter final score by 1 grade level. I also read all of the comment on this assignment on moodle and I want to correct most of the problems. When I was rewriting my assignment, I wanted to cut down on the pieces

I think that I did a pretty good job on this project because I put a lot of hard work and dedication into it. Almost everyday during class I tried to read enough of my book so that I could get one reading log done every other night. I did not execute this plan. I should have read the due dates of future checks and what all of the checks actually consisted of so that I could have planned better and would not have gotten as far behind as I did. While doing this project I feel that I could have used my time more wisely and I could have managed my work a lot better than I did. On the Global Context parts of the project I feel like I did a very good job on them because I picked a perfect Global Context that I think represents the book better than

I have set the essay aside for a few days and now I am in the process of small scale revision and self-evaluation. I will go back and re-read my essay, reading only what is actually on the page, not what I intended to write. As I read, inserting any additional information that I think is missing. I have printed out copies of my essay for my sisters and a co-worker to read, asking that they highlight any correction of any grammar or sentence structure mistakes, also asking that any additional notes, that I may have overlooked be written. Overall I just want to make sure I am hitting all the main points

Over the course of my studies at university, I have grown and learned more about academic writing and numerous writing styles. I believe there is so much room for me to master my writing skills to succeed and complete my degree and improve my academic writing and personal skills through more practice. However, I have become concerned with my first attempt submitting my piece of paper through the online test in the Writers’ Diet diagnostic tool and was labelled ‘flabby’ in my writing. Analysing my errors and referring to the textbook ’Communication Toolkit’ by Grellier and Goerke (2014), also submitting my piece of writing to Grammarly and paper rater I was able to measure my weakness in the area of sentence structure, punctuation and grammar.

The first assignment is derived from my Inquiry Skills course, and was the first research paper written for the class. The topic for this assignment was creation stories, where I was required to find three myths as to how the whole was formed from different cultures and write a summary of my information. While I did spend a lengthy amount of time writing this, I did not end up scoring well. I missed points for grammatical mistakes and more importantly, my works cited. From this assignment onwards, I worked diligently to become the best writer I can be. The latest research paper I composed on the death penalty, for the same class, exemplified just that. I reflected on my past mistakes from my previous assignments while writing this, and I put in a grand amount of effort to avoid these foolish mishaps. In this more recent assignment I was able to bypass many of the faults I faced earlier and achieved a nearly perfect paper. In addition to this I had a flawless works cited, as well as parenthetical citations in which I previously struggled with. I was able to take my past mistakes and learn from them to compose a paper I am very proud

There are many writing styles that many people pick up as they go through there many years of schooling. Each person picks up the same type of writing styles but as years go by people seem to pick up there own little types of writing style that separates them from everyone else. As I have gone through many years of English classes I have acquired more and more skills and many more are sure to come as I continue my education. My writing skills have only gotten better from the time of ninth grade English class until today. Since my days back in junior high school I was only taught the basic skills to write papers and since then they have grown to make me a decent writer. I have many strengths and also

Another reason why I had not finished the project was because I kept restarting, since I thought my poems sucked and I could’ve done way better. If it weren’t for that, I could’ve turned my project in at least a day late, and still made a passing grade. Looking back at my mistake, I should’ve kept my bad, terribly written poems with a passing grade. A

I took me a few hours to finish the project and I wrote alot of the project in the first draft. I visited Mill Avenue the place of my profile several times to collect data and anaylze the surronding so that I would be able to descibe it properly. The assignments we had in the build up to submitting the final draft helped alot as well and helped me understand the importance of having a writing process as it gave me a clear idea about what I was writing and how to write it. We also had to find credible secondary sources and not the first link we would find on google. I had to read various articles and then decide which would fit the criteria of the place I was writing about. I did not know how to properly cite my sources so I used the website the professor sugessted and gained a rough idea about how I should cite my sources. I reccieved reviews of my rough draft from my peers and my prfoessor who said they understood the place I was trying to describe but it needed work as it was not as strong an explaniation as it could be. I had also not added a picture to my essay and that was something I added to give a better image of the place I was trying to describe. Before submitting the final draft I would write a paragraph almost every day and save these as new drafts. In the end I got feedback from a few of my friends and asked them which paragraphs they felt were a good description of the place I was trying to descibe. I feel that this paper was a good learning experience as I learned where my shortcomings are while writing this paper but I did not fully implement them in this paper and that is something I will be doing in Project 2. This paper was a good learning experience and I felt that my final draft was a good representaion of my work but in project 2 I will try and make sure that it is a representaion of my best

While there are many parts of my essay that could use improvement, I am only going to focus on a couple. In paragraph four it feels as though I am rambling a bit about the details of the Domino Project story. I do think that how the project played out is important, I just

Over the past few months, I have learned several different writing techniques. While all of the different types of papers were difficult to write, I believe that my writing skills have improved. In fact, I did not understand all of the assignments, but I did try to do my best on all of them. While I should have used more transitional words in between sentences and paragraphs, I feel that I learned a great deal. It is true that I have not had very much writing experience and the writing process is difficult for me. Sometimes, I do admit, it takes days to complete one assignment, but it will be worth it when I am a proficient writer.

In the beginning of the school year, I tried to set a standard for my writing in this class at a higher level. Looking back, the work was adequate compared to the recent assignments that I have written. The first set, I am satisfied with in addition to the second set. The one at the beginning of second semester is a different story. It may seem that I put little effort into that set, but I will genuinely say that I had many outsides issues going on with my family that needed my attention at that time, but I did all that I could during that time. In relation to the substance in the journals, the second set was my best by far with my worst being the third set. The third set did, however teach me about time management skills. The short time I did have to work on them prepared me well for the timed reading assignments and writing assignments. It gave me a feeling of urgency to finish the assigned work in the given time. Even though it was not a proud set of
