Writing Class Reflection

758 Words4 Pages

My time in this course was well worth it. In general, writing has always been something that has come easy to me, but this class was a surprise to me because it was a bit of a struggle. I was used to writing freely and not having to think too hard when doing so, but with this course a lot of research was required, and that is something I did not have much experience with. I am thankful to have been able to expand my writing and research styles throughout the semester. There were three different stages of my time in this class, and those were the beginning, middle, and end. Each stage was unique and looking back, I am glad I was able to grow through all of them. I came into this course expecting to breeze through it. Like I mentioned before, …show more content…

The upside was that I was learning a lot of new things. It was somewhat exciting to pick a topic that you care about and to learn how to use databases to gain credible information on the subject. The middle portion of the course was also nice because of the meetings with the instructor to get good advice from, along with the peer reviews, which were a big help just because I could talk with people I don't normally talk with. I would also say that one of my favorite aspects of this class was the structure of it. It was so helpful that everything we did built up to the final draft of the research paper. I liked that there was no busy work that has nothing to do with the research paper. All assignments had meaning and were useful. Without even knowing it or stressing about it too much, I had almost a whole paper typed out in front of me when the outline was due. Of course with every class there are struggles throughout the semester and I sure faced them. Besides the fact that I work three jobs and had serious health problems to figure out, it was hard to balance all of the schoolwork. I had problems pulling myself together not just for class, but to do assignments as well. What matters the most is that I was able to overcome all of my difficulties and realize that I would do what I was able to so I could make it to the end of the course

The entire assignment was basically creating a presentation on a genre we found on our own to show our understanding of the concept. At the beginning of this class I thought that all of the writing assignments were going to be extremely hard, but after this assignment I realized that these assignments really aren’t going to be too difficult. I think this is due to the Writing as a Process SLO and that fact that it really helps break things into easy understandable parts that flow into one another. I’m glad this was the first assignment because it helped me get a good foothold of what this class is going to be without being too

It is difficult for me because I know I am not a great writer, but there are improvements in my writing since starting college.

I struggled to get used to this writing process, especially with MLA format, since I never used it professionally as I did in this class. The summary essay was quite simple and straightforward, which is also something that I enjoyed. The research argument essay was also a bit of a challenge, but I felt like I did a well-done job. I liked that I was able to talk about a subject I enjoyed, and learn also how to properly use citing within my essays. Furthermore, although there were some challenges and some ups and downs within the essays, I did learn a lot about how to properly write.

The weekly reading assignments were very helpful. Some of the topics were great refreshers of common mistakes made when writing; these knocked some of the cobwebs in my mind loose. The other topics with sample writings gave me an idea of what to do. The instructor feedback and the revision recommendations were probably the most helpful tools in my composition process.

Throughout the term there has been many writing assignments —big or small— that helped reflect my writing process or the process itself. In the beginning of the course I felt like I was an “ok” writer, but lacked some skills such as: organization, sentence variety, and vocabulary. Also, I did not like to write and had a feeling of dislike when forced to write. I felt like I improved on everything I wanted and was seen throughout the semester. I know how to organize my ideas, the worksheets given in class to work on sentence variety really helped, and vocabulary was built on some level.

I originally thought it was all just writing papers to improve our skills rather than do exercises that actually help us. I think this class gave me a great foundation to build off of in the future and to fine tune my writing skills in college and the future. I think this class for me has really opened my eyes to how lazy of a writer I was because I didn 't take the time or put the effort in. During this class I have improved in countless ways that will be needed to be successful in the next level of education. Although I feel I have drastically improved, there are aspects in my wring that need work, but I think they will come with more time and

I have enjoyed taking this course overall as I have met my professor, visited campus, and may take more courses at Millersville since I have learned what taking a college course is like. Even though I learned about Psychology throughout this course, I also learned about myself as a student. I learn more effectively in a classroom rather than online, I needed better time management, and to reach out and ask for help. At the beginning of this course I thought I could just use the lecture notes online and learn from those.
