My Writing Strength
When I was in high school, I didn’t know the aspects of writing an essay even though I passed the writing part of the OGT test. Writing has always been a strength of mine because I have good handwriting and I’m willing to improve it any way possible. I never knew about citations, in-text citations, and not using the first person. In high school, students usually can turn in anything they have and literally pass a paper every single time. Writing is a very important skill just because it improves communication skills, creative thinking, and how to express ideas.
I have trouble with citations and in-text citations because when I get information from the internet, forget to include in-text citations in my essay. Have trouble generating

    After reading the article “Reading and Writing in College” by Kim Flachmann, I completely agree with Flachmann’s argument on the importance of reading and writing skills for college students along with those who are in the work force. In the article, Flachmann expresses the value of reading and writing skills by writing that they are “necessary for surviving both in college and on the job” (Flachmann, 2014). My agreement with Flachmann’s argument is based on the activities that a college student and a worker face on a daily basis since they revolve around those skills. For a college student, these skills are essential in order to get through college. When it comes to the reading and writing skills, a college student is expected to not only…

When I write a report, I usually divide my paper in different segments as that allows the reader and myself a quick and easy method to find where information is located. This probably stems from the fact I must write a lot of lab reports as a Biology major. However, I cannot recall if I ever written an argument report with this method as I just starting using it when I enrolled in college. It will be interesting to see how well I will do.…

    Assessment one was used to try and identify some of our writing strengths and weaknesses. One of my main weaknesses way my lack of planning, drafts and editing. Because I started the assessments late I would run out of time, my work was rushed and my writing was not clear and concise. From assessment one I set myself a timetable, began the remaining assignments in advance and allowed numerous drafts and editing. I always finishing my last draft a week prior to submission so that I had a week to re-read, edit, and touch up.

    Essay writing was a major part of the class. We wrote essay on race and ethnicity, gay matters, language technique essays. Each essay taught us about a different style or form of writing. Comparison and contrast essays taught us how to write an essay comparing two similar things. This type of essay was my favorite to write. In my essay I compared the careers of Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. The most difficult essay for me to write was the argument essay in which we were to defend a point using strong argument skills. For my argument essay I supported the argument that rap music is music of resistance. I can honestly say my essay skills have improved tremendously over the course of this year thanks to the many skills learned in this class.…
