Paper

opinion. I would have liked to write more papers because we only learned how to write a few papers and there are so many more kinds of papers I would like to learn how to write. If we would have wrote about history, our future plans, or even our dreams. I feel like that would’ve helped us a lot with our future and opened some gates to see what was out in the world for us. An area I need to work harder on is citing. I feel like I struggled on both research papers because citing got confusing at times

One of the easiest and sometimes hardest papers to write are ones that are a reflection on what you have learned over the course. I enjoy reflection papers because it allows me to put what I have thought and felt the whole class onto one paper. It can be difficult because two to three pages really isn’t a lot of space if you feel very passionate but I find a way to make it work. This class was a last minute add on for me because I switched majors to graduate a little earlier. I thought that I was

Writing has never really been one of my strengths. Even in high school, when I took an AP English literature course, I did not enjoy writing papers if need be. Since I did not fancy writing papers, I never really developed a systematic writing process. I would write the paper last minute and pray for an A, but college doesn’t work like that. When I came to college, I placed into music classes first so that I could develop those skills, thus leaving my core classes (including English) on the backburner

Before coming to Radford University, I was very nervous about having to write papers on a college level because in high school they drilled into our minds that it was going to be so much harder. The first day of this class was when I realized that I was going to be okay because I had a professor that was willing to help me and guide me through the process of constructing a good essay. Over the course of the semester my theses have improved significantly, I’ve learned different ways to approach writing

more than likely get on my nerves--which it did--but I do not regret taking the course. I have learned writing skills beyond the write, revise, and finalize that comes with every paper written. This class taught me how to write with purpose and revise to make the purpose clear. Writing about myself in the first paper came as a shocker. I don’t like talking about myself, but I came in with an open mind. When it came time to workshops, I received positive feedback and pointers from my peers that

and because I added my personal opinion in at times. Summaries are not supposed to contain personal opinions, but at least I learned my lesson and know for next time. Therefore, mechanics are probably my biggest downfall when it comes to writing papers. I hope to continue to work and improve on it. The response I did great on. I had no problems with it besides over using a word a couple of times. I can definitely say the response was my second best assignment. It was because I felt so knowledgeable

Writing has always been something, that through my scores on papers, has been proven to be one of my strong suites in school. However, I think this class decided to burst that bubble. Who I am as a writing has changed quite a lot and for the better due to this class. There are elements to my writing that I do not think improved or could use more tidying up, but comparing my first paper to my last show’s that this class made a bigger impact on my abilities than I had anticipated. That aside, there

me feel like the day wasn’t wasted. Normally, I use a paper planner to schedule all the things that need to get done. For our class assignment, I used the calendar app in Office 365 to create my schedule. It took me way longer than expected to get it the way I wanted, so I will probably stay with paper planning. My family and job rank with school as my main priorities. This doesn’t leave much free time. I knew I was busy, but seeing it on paper is almost frightening. Once the regular school year

Before this class began I was a simple writer who hated having to type an essay. Many class essays that I have wrote in the past resulted in poor scores and no personality. I didn’t have much help on what exactly to write about. As a result of that I have struggled to find creative topics to write about my essay. At the beginning of this class we wrote the Definition essay. I wrote about what makes a sports movie truly great. This essay was a real grind for me. I had a difficult time trying to

found that my writing greatly improved and that I was able to get my arguments across in a clear and interesting way. This class has shown me that, instead of throwing words together and trying to appease the writing gods to bless me with a coherent paper, writing is an art form. There is structure, there is style, there is argument, and there is a need. Everything that I write is an argument and in order for me to write a convincing piece, I need to understand how argument works and how to make sure
