What Are The Advantages Of Taking RWS 200 By Rhonne Goodman

Summary of “How to Say Nothing in 500 Words” In the essay “How to Say Nothing in 500 Words” by Paul McHenry Roberts suggests that there are seven tactics to improve an essay. First, Roberts advises that general content should not be used. This means that basic ideas would be brought up by others and the same bromide repetition. It’s best to try to expand the reasons of the thesis and make them original.

Joseph Williams and Lawrence McEnerney, in the third chapter of Writing in College, offer strategies for revising a paper, including suggestions regarding the point (or thesis), the organizational structure of the a paper, the evidence, and the attitude of the argument as a whole. The first step of the revision process “is intended to ensure that the beginning and end of your paper cohere with each other” (14). To accomplish this first step, Williams and McEnerney recommend isolating the point in the introduction and conclusion, and ensuring these sections communicate the same argument. Williams and McEnerney also suggest two different methods to communicate a point: point-first, in which the introduction contains a full statement of the argument

Givven such information, we can contemplate the risks that everyone takes by following similar steps to write an essay. Among the steps that Peterson presents, a particular one that I consider could be useful is the rule of “Keeping it simple” by Kurt Vonnegut. This specific rule represents an advice that many students fail to follow. We usually like to explain things to a point in which we are just doing it to fill that plank space of the final page of our essay, I personally advice to few of my friends to avoid this because, it is not necessary, and our readers could take it as an insult from us to explain something that could have been summarized in a few words to a whole paragraph. Considering the information provided above, I too have countless flaws in my

I believe I deserve to win this scholarship so I can reach my goal to go to college. For some people, college is not an easy thing to pay off because of their families financial needs.I would mostly use the scholarship money given to me to purchase the books I will need for my college courses. There is also other materials that I need for my college daily courses.

The hardest part for me was staying under the 600 word limit, I had to learn how to crunch my ideas more directly and take out all the unecesarry details and ideas. One thing I learned in this english class is to start with an outline. Due to the fact that I did start with an outline I had all my ideas down on paper, this helped me pinpoint which ideas were the most persuasive and important. I chose to write my opinion piece on if NASA should get more funding from the federal budget. Once everyone finished their drafts, we had peer groups look over it. I got positive feedback but I still was over my word limit. My group helped me decide the least effective idea and what I could add in replace and how to make it more persuasive. From writing this type of paper I learned how to be more persuasive and how to better distinguish between good ideas and great

While writing papers or any type of documents, I find myself using many of the “Do’s and Don’t’s” described throughout the chapter. The biggest one of my “Don’t’s” is the wordy clauses. I find now that too many words are harmful to a good paper. Repetition is another problem I tend to have with writing papers, I tend to keep saying the same thing over and over. The benefit of reading this chapter is it teaches me how to avoid making these types of mistakes while writing my papers. Probably most of the “Don’t’s” described in this chapter are my downfall with writing a good paper.

One thing that I notice in my first project is that I was very repetitive all throughout. I kept saying the same thing over and over in different words, which did not add anything to my argument. Instead, it filled my essay with empty paragraphs that I had to get rid of when writing the final draft. I believe that I have improved on that because I did not notice this problem in my other projects.

Over the past year I had a chance to develop a deeper understanding of what it takes to develop successful paper. Taking English 1010 was a great experience because it prepares students on becoming better writers through college life. Even though this is my second year in college I was unable to take English 1010 the first year, but taking this class truly show me what college professors are looking for when we are ask to write a successful paper. College professors expect every student to be able to evaluate each topic and be descriptive in their essay.

One of the things that caught my eye in this article was how Paul Roberts talked about going from abstract to actual examples. It really opened my eyes on stepping out of common ideas. I totally agree with this article because it grabs the reader’s attention and makes the article more interesting. I think it would be a good challenge to attempt in the future because it is something that I never really tried before. I have always struggled with writing essays and with limited knowledge on how to do so can be difficult. Filling in sentences with extra words is something that is easy to do. The way Paul Roberts talked about cutting out all of the excess wording that is not required is a point in which I can see both sides of. For example,

The author used the concept clinical benefits in a narrow and rigid way. In the paragraph two the author states “he journal Science last week published a warning by Stanford University experts that “it is nearly certain that the clinical benefits of the research are years or maybe decades away.” Author used the concept clinical benefits in sense that the only clinical benefit of this research is the out come of the research and the cure for the disease, which is too narrow for the concept. Author is excluding the fact failures in a way to get to the final product are beneficial because it takes the researchers one closer to the final product. In addition, other clinical benefits might be finding another cure for another disease or finding temporary treatments for the disease.

When the term marijuana is heard, thoughts are naturally reverted to the terms hippy, lazy, or stoner. This is because throughout the past, marijuana has been viewed as an unacceptable drug; however, gradually more and more people are experiencing the positive effects that marijuana has to offer as a form of medicine. Marijuana is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, along with heroin, LSD, mescaline and PCP (Levinthal, 2014). In several different states, the American people had voted to pass laws that enable citizens to use medical marijuana; therefore, marijuana’s classification is due to be reevaluated. Since marijuana is illegal in many states, recreationally and medicinally, it has been difficult to conduct studies; although, the trials that

Now that the semester is over, I know a lot more than I did coming into this class and feel like my expectations were exceeded. I learned not only how to implement writing techniques to keep readers engaged in my writing pieces, but also how to avoid repetition and vague pronoun reference throughout my writing pieces. You can notice the progression of my writing by comparing my Reflection 12 assignment to my Reflection 16 assignment. There are fused sentences in my Reflection 12 assignment. “She provides evidence such as research results from

A very wise John Green once said, “Every year many, many stupid people graduate from college. And if they can do it, so can you.” These are the words that I have chosen to live by since the beginning of my incredibly eye-opening freshman year. Among the various realizations that I made within these semesters, one of the most surprising findings through my experiences in WRC 1013 was that despite all the banners my high school flaunts around, I was not college ready. More so specifically in my “AP” writing classes I was not taught how to properly cite and use research and use sources, which really showed in my essays. Thankfully through this course, I have learned the importance of outlining, researching sources, and revising. Although I feel that I did improve within the areas of utilizing better sources and learning how to properly cite, I do however feel that my choice of diction and personal responsibility definitely have a lot of room for improvement.

I have learned many things throughout the course of the term, including such things as: how to write an essay and how to improve on essays that I have already written, how to locate and composite better research through the use of numerous resources found at the campus library, the internet, and the “Common Sense” textbook, how to cite research, examples, and quotations properly within the contents of my research paper as well as document it accurately according to MLA standards. Through the exploration of the “Subjects and Strategies” textbook, I have learned nine different methods used when writing an effective essay and how the different writing styles affect the overall theme and tone of the essay when used properly. This past

Learning a whole new language and culture halfway through fifth grade was torturous as a child just beginning to start the puberty stage. Parents and teachers shifted from a friend to the enemy. Not understanding the intentions of my parents and English As a Second Language teachers by giving me workbooks for second and third graders, I, at the time, felt like they were just trying to keep me behind the other regular English students. However, those frustrations were never conveyed since communicating with other students, and especially faculty members, seemed even more arduous. Thus, my vocabulary range is not as wide as most other people that speaks English as their first language. This can be shown in the first paper I have written titled “Faster or Stronger” for the course “Eng&101 English Composition I” instructed by Martha J. Nagel. In this paper, there was a lot of repetition by using the same words multiple times throughout the essay to emphasize the thesis (Wangadi). This type of repetition can cause readers to become disinterested in the paper because even though it makes it easier for the reader to understand the argument, the lack of variety in the choice of words makes the paper seem dull and too predictable. In the most recent paper however, there were more variety in the vocabulary to still emphasize the thesis as well. Instead of saying “biggest victims” repeatedly, “main victims” and “leading victims” were used to create a variety that would still preserve
