At the starting point of Writ 151 course, I have recognized some strong points such as vocabulary, taking note and brain storming ideas. However, I still make some mistakes of grammar and spelling or writing under words limit that lead my score sometimes was decreased. Looking again my setting goal at the beginning of the course, I showed that I need to improve my writing in order to gain higher score in IELTS test and pass all the courses in joint-training program so that I can get a good degree for finding a job. Because of the first aim: writing 's improvement, I attempt to limit the maximized of my writing faults. In this portfolio reflection, I will present three evidences for my efforts: workshop 1, feedback of perspective of plagiarism and Essay 2.
In terms of strength after twenty workshops, I realized my development of reading skills when tutor asked Iand my classmates read an article or one part of the book before we wrote a respond. Read and read make me know more definition of new …show more content…

For example, I wrote a respond in "perspective of plagiarism" successfully with comment "good" of tutor. This shows my development of writing respond and "read before write" skill because I must read an article before I write this feedback. In terms of avoiding plagiarism, the first two writing exercises do not contain references and quotes. However, in my essay 2; I make references lists with right form of APA style and in-text citation. In addition, my grammar mistakes significantly decline that is showed by "perspective of plagiarism" and my essay 2 with less errors than the first writing "letter for your tutor".
Course Writ 151 gives me more useful skills that not only apply in this course but also in other courses. Despite improvement, there are some mistakes that I still meet in my writing process. Therefore, I should edit these faults in order to write better essays.
