Running Head: PROGRESS IN FOUR WEEKS

Abstract

What I have learned so far that has been the most help full to me along with why and how I will use that information to further my education and my career will be what you are about to read.
I will also be including what surprised me the most about this course and why. Over the last four weeks I have developed many thought and ideas that reinforced why I have chosen the field I have and the goal I have such as getting my masters in Architecture.
My personal goal I have made over the last four weeks I have also included at the end.

The most helpful thing I have learned I would have to say is APA formatting. APA formatting is a much easier way for me to write formal letters or papers.
The reason why I feel that this is the most helpful thing that I have learned is because in the career that I am studying I will be writing a lot of letters to clients and to company 's. I feel that it is important to write in a professional way in order for people to take me seriously.

I will use APA formatting when attending school to write all my papers to look more professional. I will all use APA formatting in my new career in the ways I have said earlier such as writing to clients or company 's. I can also use APA formatting in my personal life and in every day use when I need to contact a company for a refund or a problem with and item or even a thank you later. APA can also be used for family members when I want to invite people to a party or get together that I am hosting.

The things that have surprised me in this class where my grades I received, the use full knowledge in how to communicate with people in a more professional way. And the knowledge on different things that will help me in my new career. Things Such as knowing your

    Quality writing is considered a very important aspect of an academic setting, particularly when completing a graduate program. It is necessary to develop writing skills beyond the basic elements of writing that are considered acceptable in an undergraduate program.

    I am no professional at writing by any means, but I can get my thoughts and point across. I feel that two challenges that I will encounter while using the APA style would be plagiarism and writing style and format. I have noticed in the past when I was in college I tend to ramble a bit throughout my papers. I understand at this level more will be required of me and my out of my papers. Second, when it comes to plagiarism I understand it is crucial not to ever use anyones words other than your own at any point. Brushing up on my power phrasing skills is on the to do list. This way my words are clear and never misleading.…

    APA Writing Reflection

    • 152 Words
    • 1 Page

    At the request to describe something new that I have learned about APA style, I must laugh. The first eight weeks of this semester I took the Cornerstone Seminar which is an introductory class to college writing, this was the first real college course I have taken in eleven years and it has been approximately fifteen years since I have taken an English or a writing course. Unfortunately, I retained minimal knowledge from the previous decade about academic writing, so basically I have newly learned the entire process (to the best of my ability, of course). My favorite thing that I have learned about APA writing is the discovery of the citation creating websites. These websites are a tremendous help and saving hours of time. Overall, I am still…

    I developed these skills by in class learning and working and homework essays. For example, in this piece of my essay I said “This boy had goals to get in touch with nature and away from everything else; McCandless had similar goals”. Before this I had a comma instead of the semicolon which is a comma splice. Another example of the progress i have made during the year so far is “McCandless stated, “Don't settle down and sit in one place. Move around be nomadic, make each day a new horizon” (58)”. This is the right way to cite a quote and I didn't know that last year. Lastly one of my conclusion paragraph shows my improvement because I incorporated my introduction paragraph in it “ Overall, McCandless set out originally to find himself through experiencing nature and all the world had to offer. Like the young boy, throughout the adventures…

    First, I will be talking about what I have learned. I have learned how to type an APA Template. I have learned what type of personality I have. I have also learned how to look up my resources online. I was very surprised when I found out my personality after taking the personality test, and this is what I had found out: I have a 78% in introvert, a 62% in sensing, a 25% in feeling, and a 22% in perceiving. My personality was something that I had always questioned in school and now that I know my personality. It is really helping me to understand the way I learn and need to stay focused on the tasks at hand. Looking up the resources that are provided in the community and in school is very helpful because if I need help or something I know just where to go.…
