Putting all the parts of writing together is what makes a good piece of writing. Over the semester, my realization of what I was doing wrong paired with the different formatting strategies and the desire to become a better writer has helped me to become better overall. I believe that practice makes perfect, and while I have not perfected my writing or even come close yet, I believe that I have gotten closer to being a proficient writer. I believe that this class has helped me to get closer to becoming a proficient writer, and will help me in my future classes and

There are many different broad definitions of stress and how to cope with it, known as stress management.

Throughout this semester we have had to write many types of essays. Although this is a college English class there is still room for improvement. I made much improvement during the semester of the class. I was able to identify my weaknesses. I learned how to make improvements to the areas I was having problems in. Although each essay we did was different I was able to begin with one essay and throughout the semester turn it into two other essays. I was able to change my style of writing to fit the type of audience I was working with. I will continue to work on my writing and keep improving it.

 It does an excellent job at providing the facts to reinforce her point and can easily convince readers to believe why her side is correct.  The only major complaint I have is that the paper is too one sided.  It would be interesting to see and opposing side or just a counter to many of her arguments.  I realize that is not the point of her essay and she is trying to push us to her side, but I believe that the paper would be more interesting to readers if we had an opposing view on the subject.  Other than that minor point her essay is well written and is great at expressing her side of the

I am really proud of myself and happy with the result of the essay because it is not a bad paper. There are a few grammers mistake, but it was less than what I was expecting. The sentences structure are clear and it is understandable to the reader. Overall, I am very proud of how my paper turn out and I am happy with the first grade.

The counselor worked with the client on assessing her situation and developing ways to help her friend without the added stress. The client appeared to struggle internally with making a decision to kick her friend out and he will possibly be living on the street or dealing with the added stress in supporting him. The client seems to believe he has no other support system other than her which is making her decision more difficult. The client was willing to entertain the idea of finding other support systems for him but the counselor is not sure if she will follow through because she appears to be enjoying his company even though this situation is placing a strain on her finances.

This reflective essay will be adopted from Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper’s (2001) reflection model. This reflection is based on a case study that I have read and will be based on the intervention I have chosen to treat the patient. Mr. Castello was admitted to the ward for observation after a fight and sustaining a laceration to his right forehead from a beer bottle and extensive bruising and scratches to his left arm. Mr. Castello had a pre-existing chest infection, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and asthma. Assessing, cleaning and dressing his wounds is an integral part of his treatment, as his DM can lead to delayed wound healing and increased chance of infection (Salazar, Ennis, & Koh, 2016). This could be successfully achieved through

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

The beginning of the introduction does identify victimization and exposure to violence fir adolescents as a specific problem area. The researcher does establish the importance of violence within adolescents and substance use, and explains how it is not a common research study. The researcher states that adolescent violence is commonly studied, but the connection to violence and substance use has rarely been approached. The article uses the General Strain Theory (GST), and other stress response theories that stipulate that exposure to violence and victimization may be stressors that are particularly likely to foster the development of antisocial behaviors and substance use (Wright, Fagan, and Pinchevsky, 2013). Victimization may arouse negative

There was many steps that helped me improve in this class including drafts and peer-evaluation worksheets. Having a rough draft is one of the best ways to help me improve on my essays because it gives me a professional eye to see the problems that I’m not able to. Discussing the prompts of our essays had benefited me because it gave me a sense of direction of where I should start and another perspective. Peer-evaluation worksheets are also one of the great tools used to improve my writing because it gave me a different approach on my essay that is by peers. They wrote some particularly useful revisions I should make to increase the value of my writing. By having a rubric to follow as guidelines had immensely improved

In this session, Jacqueline and I went over the final draft of my argumentative essay. The essay at this point was much more focused and she commented on that as well. We went over exactly what points I was trying to make,

There was also something useful in having to review another student’s paper and make suggestions on how to improve upon it, I think that actually helped me to review my own papers with a more critical eye, and to analyze the details of how the paper is being constructed.

The writer made sure to answer all of the questions. I love how you included her opinion. It helped me to connect better to your response. One of the weaknesses I found was not including enough information. For example, when answering the three points question. I think you should further explain your point. Overall, I think you did a really good

Now that I have completed the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth course Crafting the Essay, I feel I have tremendously grown as a writer. Even after submitting the first assignment, I looked back at a position paper I wrote for school that I received an A+ on, yet I saw several flaws I wished I had changed.
