English 111 Reflective Report

Recommended: Refelction about academic writing

Before enrolling into the course of English 111, my writing was primarily based on specific boundaries. For example, I was told that essays needed to be five paragraphs long with five to eight sentences within each paragraph. After my enrollment into this course, I have learned that the stereotype for writing an essay was not as practical as I once had believed, and that the limitations and expectations that were once implemented into my writing were essentially not correct. This course has changed my writing by allowing me to expand into broader topics in papers, such as compare and contrast essays, subject by subject, and point by point papers and outlines. I have learned now to use stronger verbs within my essays, and to open my vocabulary …show more content…

Personally, the topic of superheroes is not one that I am interested in, and I feel that due to this, I lack enthusiasm within the essays and that they may come off too formal, or not formal enough due to not having previous knowledge on the topic. I would also like to revise the structure of my essay, and the examples that I used to express the influence of popularity across the globe. The topics that I believe remain weak in the paper are the ones that I chose to express why the film industry for superheroes has such a broad horizon, however, I am conflicted with these topics because although I do have a liking for them, I believe I may have been able to choose other options that would have opted for better descriptions and explanations. I am generally pleased with the paper as a whole for what it is, however, I am just not happy about the subject of the paper as I am not a big superhero fan and would like to have gained more knowledge on the topic. I believe that this essay reflects my growth as a writer by expressing the vocabulary that I have picked up on throughout my essays, and the structure that I have learned to use since enrolling into this course. I have now learned how to correctly make a parenthetical citation and a work cited page, which will definitely help me with future essays that I will have to

Revising Process In English 101

468 Words | 2 Pages

Being in English 101 has impacted three different types of writing processes: drafting, revising, and editing. Before I started this class, I never made drafts; I only did pre-writes and the final copy of the essay. Now, I do the pre-writes, then type it and make the draft, and then fix any errors in it. Another writing process that has improved is revising because now instead of reading what I wrote myself, I let my friends, classmates, and teachers read it to see if they understand what I’m writing and if they see any errors. This makes my editing process easier because I know what mistakes I made.

English 121 Reflection

157 Words | 1 Pages

The English 121 class itself has been both challenging and rewarding. With the help of my instructor and those at the Writing Lab, I was given specific instruction on what needed correcting on my paper.

Each time I visited the lab, I was made aware of any new or still existing issues that I needed to correct with my paper. There were many areas that I needed to address, such as MLA format, citation, grammatical and spelling errors, word choice, and style.

Differences Between Writing 101 And Writing 102

351 Words | 2 Pages

Writing 102 differed greatly compared to writing 101 because in writing 101, I had learned how to express my ideas and put them on paper for others to understand my mindset. In writing 102, I had deliberately taken the course with the same professor since I found myself comfortable with her learning techniques, grading methods, and overall personality. The course was similar in some cases, for example, writing a critique was an easy task since I had already done one last semester with the same professor, making it a topic I had been already familiar with. My approach to writing had slightly changed, for example, last semester I was introduced to writing methods and techniques, for example, APA formatting and basic design structures of different

My Reflection On My Analysis

598 Words | 3 Pages

I am writing to share my reflections on the work I’ve done, the things I’ve learned, and the challenges I’ve overcome over the course of your Writing 121. I will also be sharing how I plan to use the tools that this class has provided me with in the future. Specifically, I will be writing about my struggles with writing analytical papers, some of the personal challenges that I faced while writing them, and the techniques that this class equipped me with that helped me to overcome them. Since analytical papers aren’t easy for me, my strongest essay this term was the Literacy Narrative essay at the very beginning of the term because it allowed me to combine my more creative writing techniques with the analytic paper style the class was designed for. I think that there were many reasons for this, but I think the biggest one is that I tend to be more of a creative writer and so an essay like that was perfectly up my alleyway.
