The Most Difficulty For BUS 210

Throughout this course, I was able to assess and evaluate my weaknesses and strengths in writing. This class has truly brought out my ability to write, a skill I did not believe I had. I now know what it takes to become a college-level writer. Also, at the beginning of the course I did not particularly enjoy writing. Now, however, I have a greater respect for

This class has helped my writing in the way that I now try to think of the

Actually I learned many things from this class. First of all I learned how to write a thesis statement and the topic sentences. Then I got the idea about the hook sentences. I learned to add the transition sentences so that I could connect every paragraphs which makes the flow in the every paragraph. We also did the assignment of the rhetorical analysis about the advertisement which helped me to analyze the advertisement. In that assignment I learned about the ethos, pathos and logos. I knew how to bring the main idea of the essay into the body paragraphs. I learned to connect the sentences with each other’s. It helped to find my weakness and work on them.

The three courses I took this semester have all gave me insight to important information I have been able to apply at my work and will be able to continue applying in my future jobs. My business and professional writing class has shown me how correctly structuring work documents, letters, resumes, policies can demonstrate the professionalism of an employee or organization. Since this course when directing information through my supervisors I try to make sure my letters or any other documents are well written and formatted. I have received complements on my current job for doing this also.

I realized that this class would be beneficial when our first assignment was to adjust and send our resumes to the professor. I am a graduating senior, and this was a great opportunity for me to update my resume before I started applying for jobs. We also had to write a cover letter a few weeks ago, and now that I am applying for jobs, it was helpful to review what makes a good cover letter.

During this class, I developed in my rhetorical knowledge. I am now more capable of analyzing texts, understanding of audiences, purposes and contexts. I also have more variety in my writings. I learned how to use different words in context and how to formulate a better sentence. I developed my own ideas and opinions through writing about an outgoing conversation. I now understand how to analyze the writing of others, noting focus, arrangement, logical development, vocabulary, and style. I also developed the ability to use various sentence patterns and to edit for correctness, variety, and correct usage. We did this especially while we proofread our own and others drafts.

Concerning my own classes, I have also received many benefits and experiences to help better my future. Chiefly, one of these is my Creative Writing class I had last semester with Dr. Owens, who helped me to further refine my craft, not only from a writing standpoint, but from an editing standpoint as well. This enables me to continue my pursuit of my goals in the field of writing, and lays even more important foundations for this path.

In terms of what this course has taught me about Academic writing, it is difficult to isolate. I feel I have achieved a better grasp on general academic language, qualities such as word choice, use of contractions, and sentence structure. As well, I think primarily through the experience gained by simply writing many of the papers in this course, I have gotten a better sense of overall essay structure. For instance, I feel my ability to write Introductions (hooks, bridges, thesis statements) has improved tremendously. I have also, though I think to a lesser degree, attained a better grasp on the structure of body paragraphs (topic sentences, making claims, the process of evidencing, transitions).

I've learned alot about writing. For example on how to write an essay according to the appropriate audience and how to think like a writer would.

When I go into the business field I feel like this class has helped me prepare for it. I found when reading Chapter 15 in the textbook that there is more than one type of Resume. I always thought the Traditional Resume was the only type of Resumes people used. I also learned how to write memos that used positive language instead of negative

As far as the skills acquired from the course and its applicability to my field of study, I feel that the overall increases writing effectiveness, methods of persuasion, and creative writing could be very advantageous in my pursuit in marketing and 3d modeling. With these skills, I will be able to pitch ideas more effectively. As a writer in general, I hope to improve my use of voice to make my writing more personalized as well as cathartic.

I am very happy I took this class because it has helped me realize I really need to improve my writing skills, because I want to make a long time dream of mine come true; writing a book. I do not want a ghost writer; I

The two most valuable business writing lessons I've learned from this course Informative and Persuasive Speaking. I learned that being a successful informative speaker starts with choosing a topic that engage and educate the audience. I remember talking a course that was extremely boring all the professor did was lecture and rant on about things that had nothing to do with the subject. looking around the class people were not engaged at all some people were on there phones and others were sleep.

For example, in my Client Letter assignment I constantly had to be aware that I am writing for a person who is not a lawyer, therefore I could not use legalese and I had to write in the plain English. This was of the most valuable experiences during this semester.

I feel as if my previous class helped prepare me for the real world. The real world does not come with an instruction manual or tell you how certain tasks should be performed in life. My last English class helped further my knowledge by challenging me and allowing me to learn on my own. These challenges helped me learn how to be more independent as a student and grow as a person. Another high point from my last class would be that we got to do partner narrative essays, which consisted of two people having to agree on one topic and work together for the best grade. This taught us compromise and communication skills which are a necessity in order to be successful in life. Through all the challenging work and dedication to my essays, it did allow me to overcome a major
