This semester I also learned how to word rules with right way more and how to be specific with procedures. I made a mock classroom policy about a year ago and after that lesson I made modifications to it. I got excited because it was part of our discipline 2, and I got more feedback on which I need another eye to look at for me. I took the comments and made more to policy and proud of my end product.
How have I improved as a writer? I am thinking about my action plan as a writer have I improved, have I met the goals I set out to achieve on my first day of class, and what have I learned in this class? I will go over my time in this class and review the various topics I mentioned above and more. Looking back over my time in this class I will critique and praise myself. How I felt about writing when I first started this class compared to how I feel now, I would have to say I am more comfortable with writing.
This semester I feel like I have grown a lot as a writer and a researcher; this is because I have learned how to write a research paper for scholars who know what I am specifically talking about
Over the course of the semester, my main goal was to become a more precise writer and develop my identity as a writer. According too, the Portfolio Letter assignment sheet, becoming a better writer consists of precise planning, draft and revising. It also includes understanding a variety of academic genres by examining the basic characteristics that defines each type. In order too efficiently meet my goal of becoming a better writer, it was very important to have my work evaluated by others and myself as well. The use of rhetorical knowledge, critical thinking, reading and writing all are the important aspects in this course.
In putting together my portfolio, I could definitely see that I have made an incredible progress from the foundation of this class. My practice of grammar, words and the general structure of my papers has improved massively. Reflecting on my strengths and weaknesses as a writer, as well as things I have learned in my own writing process is a big accomplishment.
Always striving to improve my writing and understanding different methods that I can use to express myself in my writing.
As a student in class I felt like I did really well. I really enjoyed the class, and learned something new every time. If I could change anything I would try to be more interactive in class and participate more. Also, I would have spent more time really looking into the different writing processes to really attack the writing style. Overall, I enjoyed the class and enjoy writing a lot more than I did
I never considered myself as a strong writer. I was ashamed to share my writings with others because I was scared to show my poor writing skills. I feared that people will judge me for not knowing how to construct my sentences. Instead of finding the solution, I blamed my language background. I saw my language background as a barrier that stopped me from improving.
I chose the simple task of writing my name five times consecutively. This activity was easy enough to complete, however it was very difficult to get consistent quality each time I wrote my name. At first I was able to write with ease while doing the task normally and with one eye covered. Although there was a subtle difference between normal and one eye. Normally my letters are spaced evenly however, when one eye was covered, some of my letters became connected by lines from the previous letter.
Although, I have been away from the university level learning for many years, I have some experience with managing my time. My writing skills is something I had struggled with but I noticed my writing skills have improved as result of this course Applying study methods learned in the textbook and intellipath resources guided me In developing a new set of skills for online training that were challenging. Smarthinking Tutor’s comments related to sentence structure made me feel more confident about my writing skills.
What I learned about writing is that I have good ideas but have difficulty constructing my thoughts in a paper and also to outline my credible sources. It’s really important to have a coherent theme to my papers and to focus on the main topic, also to make sure my in-text citation is accurate according to APA. I also learned that I need to look for grammar and formatting. What I have learned about public speaking is that I have good speaking manner, but I need to slow down as I present and not to get ahead of myself. Also, to make sure my PowerPoint is a bit more engaging and organized.
Writing has always been an issue but yet interesting subject of mine. As hard as I try and write essays, and papers I just can’t get the hang of writing. But after taking this class, I did learn different writing technique and improved my writing proficiency, material body of formatting, and how to uncovering and properly use sources. Through class exams, essays, and a research paper, I was able to learn new writing skills. Although I have learned a variety of things, my writing still needs improvement.
My instructor Jennifer Jackson said this time “ Bravo! This is one of the strongest revisions I’ve seen yet.” This essay gave me so much confidence and made me feel I can actually write something interesting. Also, I sent my paper to The Writing Center, after I submitted my paper to my instructor to see any other mistakes I could have to improve my writing skills.
What does writing mean to me? Writing means getting people engaged in your piece. It means people wanting to keep reading what you wrote. The biggest thing about writing to me is expressing your thoughts and letting your mind go. Using good word choice and having a strong voice in the writing is something that makes it good.
Writing is something that has dependably been an issue in my life. I do appreciate writing insofar as it's not scholarly, for example, research papers. I have dependably had issues with writing because of things like grammar and sentence parts. However, this semester has been a major partner to me. We have concentrated all these diverse issues and now feel I have enhanced much on these things yet at the same time could utilize more.
