Improving My Writing Skills Analysis

In the beginning of the semester, my writing skills were subpar, but after this class, I have learned skills that have improved my writing abilities. One skill I have mastered is brainstorming organization. I have always believed that brainstorming was an important part of the writing process, but struggled with how to appropriately organize the information I brainstormed. Before beginning each paper, I now take the guidelines given to me and immediately look at the requirements of my paper.

It was good practice for me to actively think more descriptively and transfer that to my paper. In the visual analysis paper, I learned how to use a reverse to edit an essay. When using a reverse outline in my editing, the outline is useful in making sure I stay on topic and and the paper flows. I am the type of person that does not write her papers in one sitting and therefore, I sometimes lose track of what my plan was the last time I wrote. This skill allowed me to ensure that my paper followed a logical order and stayed on topic before turning it in. In the final essay, I learned two new writing skills which are in text citation and annotated bibliographies. Both are skills that I had to use in highschool, but I was not particularly well versed in how to appropriately use either skill. It was important that I master these skills now because I positive that they are skills that I will need as I continue through my college
