Writing Class Reflection Paper
This writing class is actually not my first English class at HBU. I took this class as an elective to help me grow in my writing. My expectations for this class meet them all. I came into this class wanting to review all the tools from English class back in elementary, middle, and highs school. Then by reviewing those tools to imply them to college assignments. Even though it was hard to change some of my techniques because unfortunately I did not learn them well the first time.

A very useful skill that I learned in this class is the outline. Going back and reading some of my old essays from last semester, the importance of pre writing and mainly the outline is very important. My old essays were really out of order and does not flow, so by forcing myself to make an outline makes my essay much better than it was before. Therefore, for now on I will be doing an outline and other pre writing tools to help improve the message of

To be honest, I wrote the first things down just to complete the assignment, but actually some did come true ironically. Even though I know that I will not fail this class but getting stuck in traffic did happen and having more important classes to focus on than this class. Back to the week of the flood, I was stuck in traffic and was not able to make it to class. Then the other one was not focusing so much on my cause/effect essay because I had this huge long essay for Honors to focus more and just not put a lot of effort to this class. Even though these unexpected things did happen, yet these things did not bring down but made me stronger. These inferencing helped me to trust more the professor and a lot of time of

    I learned two major things about my writing skills during this class. First, when presenting an essay for peer review, make sure that it is not a very rough draft. Second, the types of essay styles can change easily when writing. Even though my paper is supposed to be expository, using certain words and tone can create a totally different essay style.…

    By using this I have discovered what my goals and dreams are. I wanted to pass this class and go on to college but that's not going to happen if I fail english. I realized that all that busy work she was giving us wasn't actually busy work. She showing us how hard it can be in college and most of the material now that I come to think of it helped me with everything I did in that class whether it was vocab or learning to write a better thesis statement. My goal for that class was to pass with an 80 or high by the end of each marking period and to not slack on all my work and to do it well and on time. Now I actually do my work ahead of time so that I don't forget and I have time to go back and look over it and sometimes I have a little free time to myself. My current grade in my CCC English 102 is an 89 and so far i've been doing things days before they are actually do so I make sure it's…

    At first, I thought that I wasn't going to learn anything, but at the end I found it amazing how this class helped me. I never thought I could write a four page essay but as the time was passing I didn't realize that I was improving in my writing. My first stage was my first challenge, I didn’t know how to start, but I put my headphones on and I started typing. The next day, I asked for help in The Writing center and they gave great advices that had to do with my organization. When I turned it in I couldn´t wait to get my teacher's responses, which also helped me a lot to see what I should’ve or should’ve not done . In my second stage the level of difficulty was raised up since we had to write more than 3 pages and that brought my attention higher. In stage 3 all the work I had to do was to organize my ideas for my next stage which was another research that gave me the ability of separating my topics. In stage 4 we had to make an investigation where I learned how to do primary research. And I had to Interview a person and that gave me a challenge of communicating with other people for my project. And finally stage 5 became to be a little easier since it was a reflection of all the work we had already done, it made me realize that I really improve in my compositions.…

    When the semester began I thought to my knowledge that my writing was that of good quality. Though I had a good basic understanding of the format of an essay or letter I still had a lot to learn. My writing changed in many ways such as learning to eliminate unnecessary wording in my thesis, the use of synonyms, analyzing quotes and writing abstract to concrete thoughts or ideas. This Class not only helped enhance my writing abilities but to also better evaluate the writings of others and forced me to acknowledge the rigorous work of future courses in college.…

    I am glad that I took this composition course. Before I took this class, I would say that I was just an average writer. I took this class in hopes that I would learn more about writing and learn new skills that I can apply to my writing process. I have only been in this class for one quarter, but I would say that I am a much better writer than I was before I took this class. I have learned new skills that expand my writing above the level it was. I have also learned more about myself as a writer and what is working and what is not working with my writing process.…

    A reflection paper can be written on an assigned piece of reading, a lecture or an experience, such as an internship or volunteer experience. A reflection paper probably will be further clarified by the teacher or professor who assigns it to you. However, for the most part, a reflection paper cites your reactions, feelings and analysis of an experience in a more personal way than in a formal research or analytical essay.…
