My Reflection To Improve My Writing
Main Post
I am comfortable with the flow and cohesion in my scholarly writing. To date everything covered may be basic, however, I have benefitted from the class and required learning resources assigned. Even though my style of writing closely follows the MEAL plan, I outlined the acronym and filled it in for my current assignments. At this point it is hard to tell if it improved my writing.
One of the challenges I face with each assignment is I wrote a complete first draft around week 3. Therefore, with the next couple of weeks I did not know what to do as I did not wish to resubmit the assignment without any changes. By receiving full points without any comments perhaps I could have just continued to submit the drafts without changes, but

    I have learned that revising your writing makes it way better than before. You find your mistakes and realize you can replace words such as “bring to” to a different high vocabulary word such as “cease”. I know now that there is no way to make your paper perfect. There will always be a word, words, or sentence you could change.In addition, I’ve gained a better understanding on passive and active sentences. Once I was done writing my paper, and began to reread it I found some passive sentences. All I did was revise the sentence which helped my writing flow better. Initially, I read the first paper I wrote for the Quarter 1 Writing Assessment and I noticed that I didn’t follow the directions completely. As I read on, there were many simple sentences and not many transitional words.…

    Throughout my writing experience I have always struggled with my body paragraphs. I tend to always have a strong introduction but once I began to go into my first body paragraph I lose my train of thought. One of my main issues is that I get to wordy. Which then leaves me with fragments. Lastly, which I’m sure most people have an issue with is basic grammar errors such as, spelling and placing commas. I feel that my writing has had a small progression. Through this class I have learned more writing techniques that have helped me as a writer.…

    Throughout this semester I have received a lot of input and criticism on my essays from my TA, my professor and fellow students. This semester I was fortunate to receive quick, fairly reliable, built in feedback. From the feedback that I have received by taking this class I believe that I have become a better writer as it was beneficial for the most part. Feedback that I received from my fellow students was occasionally helpful. It typically varied from week to week. One week I would write a paper and get a ton of markings and criticism on it which was helpful because I was able to see what I did wrong and I would rarely have to get it proof read another time. Other times I would turn in a paper and it would come back with few markings and comments. This felt almost like a waste of time because I knew that I had more mistakes that I did not catch earlier. Because of this I would have to go out of my way and someone else would have to go out of their way to get it proof read again, or I would risk handing in the good copy with mistakes. One thing that I appreciated from peer evaluation days was that was able to see what worked in my paper, what did not and what I need to improve on.…

    I feel the material I have learned in this course has qualified me to have met the WST requirement. When I initially started this course I felt like my writing was about average, not weak, not strong. My ideas about writing were relatively simplified, and my understanding of different writing styles and concepts were quite general. However, throughout each assignment within this course, I felt my writing skill and understanding become significantly stronger.…

    Over the course of this year in English, I think my writing process has excelled the most along with my overall writing. In the past, I have used similar techniques to develop a final essay, but, this year, I have begin to rely more heavily on planning out and slowly chipping away at my essays and papers. I believe also that because of this planning the strength of my writing as a whole has grown. Personally, I do not think that I grew in my vocabulary usage. Overall this year, I grew as a writer in ways that I would not have predicted.…

    This semester was a great learning experience for me. For my writing process, if I was reading a book, I always highlight specific details or big ideas. It made it easier for me to find important evidence. I also highlighted stuff because I knew your reading quizzes would ask specific details that otherwise wouldn’t be taken into account. I knew what to look for when it came time to actually writing it. When I highlighted, it helped me realize a pattern or the underlining meaning because I would make connections between different parts of the book. During my research paper, the little lesson of how to do bibliography cards was very useful to me. I like to be able to know what is expected and how to meet the expectations, without feeling to…

    The first piece of writing in this section is my creative writing. I wrote this piece during my sophomore year after creating a dating website in my spanish class with mrs. kernen. The purpose of this paper was to develop a dating profile of a person that we made up and present it in front of the class. At the time i wrote this paper, my creative writing was not as nearly as good as they are now. Looking back at this piece, i can tell i was ineffective because i had more grammatical and punctuation errors than i should have. I was intrigued by the topic as well, so the amount of time that i had put into this piece of writing was proved within this writing assignment.…
