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.

I must admit I have never thought of options in people's mind other than the most evident one.

It helped me reorganize my papers to be more reader oriented, which is (surprisingly for me) most important to writers in their work. Surprisingly, as a result of my improvements in SHSS 230, along with general increasing in writing, my perception of good writing emerged from nowhere. The quality of my papers from Literary and other courses started to increase parallel to my study in SHSS 230, as well as I developed a habit to use my knowledge from this course to other courses too. Also, during reading articles and books by different authors, I started to identify techniques that they use in order to make their writing clear and conscious. This had made a beneficial impact on my writing too.

English III, I learned new transition words, how to use transition words, and how to add them into my papers to make them more effective. In the first paper I wrote for Dual Comp. English III, I had some difficulty with transitions.
