My rhetorical analysis essay, persuasive essay, and reflective analysis essay were all very different from each other in how I approached them and felt about them, but each one helped me grow as a writer in different ways. The rhetorical analysis was my first college essay so I felt some extreme self-imposed pressure to do well on it. I really enjoy writing persuasive essays because it causes you to form your own opinions and support them with evidence. My least favorite essay would most likely have
Reflective Essay of this Course The English skills I am walking away from this course are very tremendous. Whether it be my writing skills improving or just learning simple English things that I didn’t have a firm grab on or I never even learn. Being a freshman in college this has been one of my more useful English class because of all the actual useful things we learned and there wasn’t anything nonsense or nothing that I would not use in the future. My first essay in this class was the creed essay
Reflective Essay This fall semester in ESL 91has been pretty interesting, and so far successful. The main object of this semester was to improve our essay writing. We were taught various lab techniques that helped us to improve our English writing skills, such as using appropriate verb tense and how to write a research paper with a works cited. Through my work on the research paper I have learned how to write in an academic style, how to find appropriate sources from an academic database, and how
started I did not enjoy writing, the process, the grading, and just writing itself. I did not consider myself a good writer, but I knew that I was decent. Most of my papers were decent and I received average and above average grades on them. Even though I received good grades I still did not find myself a good writer. When entering this class, WRTG 120, I was afraid that it would be my hardest class and that I would have a hard time. In other words I was scared, and hearing the writing outcomes for this
employed to improve my writing ability be it making an outline or planning out the paper in any way. It didn’t matter if I was doing a research paper, a reflective essay or even a personal narrative. The writing that I had done in middle school and high school was by far the worst of it. When I was little, I used to love writing. I would write about anything from dragons to adventures in space, and most of the time it wasn’t in any way related to school at all. I used to love writing because I could
Reflection Introduction Writing has never been my forte. Nevertheless, this is not to say that I could not write. Throughout the semester with the assigned reading assignments and the given practical writing exercises I have come to grasp a vague understanding, I had never been taught how to write essays correctly. I am the product of Clark County Educational system. I have always struggled through my last classes and hoped to get out of my struggles this semester. One the greatest challenges that
In this essay, we have been asked to explore two study skill, I have chosen to look at writing (academic style) and note taking. We also need to show these skills connect with both my student learning and my development at work in my role as a health care assistant and as a future assistant practitioner. The first thing we need to look at is what is a study skill? Study skill is methods and techniques that aid with peoples learning and what you would use in your day to day life at work. Also, these
Jenny Moon (2004) states in her paper, A Handbook of Reflective and Experiential Learning: Theory and Practice; reflective writing can be classed as ‘cognitive housekeeping’, or a ‘sorting out, clarifying process’. It’s useful to reflect on my first trimester at Swinburne Online, to clarify my newly learned skills and attributes in preparation for the rest of my degree. I find that my attitude toward study is inherently different from what it was in the late 1990’s. As a mature age student, I
Language. The reason was not because my workload was unbearable but because I struggled with my own personal writing. I knew that it was a tough course and that was part of the reason why I took it because I know that English Language is never going to go away. I will keep taking it Senior year as well as college and use it in life, thus meaning that in order to become better at writing taking an AP class would be more beneficial down the road. AP language as well as all my other courses helped
warmed up for now, working on my voice, working at the practice of writing. I have always kicked around the idea of writing a memoir, but I struggle with discipline, structure, and framing. I am hoping to gain clarity and direction as I write and share. The response from friends, family, and the public is fueling my momentum. I am grateful to be welcomed into a community of writers and readers. The last time I was part of a writing community I was attending a magnet high school for the arts. The writers
