Reflective Self-Analysis Throughout this writing course I’ve developed strengths but of course there are still areas in where that I couldn’t seem to comprehend and those areas would be my weakness. Weakness that I have to improve on are making clear statements, essay errors such as grammar and spacing, and APA format. The strengths that I know I’ve developed and improved on throughout the course are arguing in essays improvement, and getting good sources to back up arguments. Both have defined my writing through this course and I will explain how so by looking through an essay that had to be done for this course. By looking through the essay I will be able to find evidence of my strengths and weaknesses. Weaknesses My first weakness would be when I attempt to write an essay I tend to not make myself very clear about what I am trying to explain or argue so that is a big negative part. It certainly does not make the essay quite valid because my opinion cannot be understood or if it’s backed up or not. For example, in “Gun Control” I made the argument that I was against gun control so wanting lighter gun control. However, the way I tried to explain that I was against gun control wasn’t clear enough to show what I supported. Such as saying “Most people would agree …show more content…

Thankfully, the feedback I’ve received all throughout this course assisted me in understand my essays better because of all the corrections I’ve made throughout the course. The strengths and weakness will certainly do not mean I will not continue to write essay. It will actually, also make me further aware when writing a complex essay. Thanks to the fact, that I have been able to comprehend the mistake as well as the good material, for future essays I will surely not have the weaknesses I have now and stronger

    These strengths and weaknesses were mainly discovered through the papers that we have written. I have many strengths when I’m writing papers and at the same time, I have many weaknesses. In my papers, I have noticed that one of my biggest strengths is how articulate I am. The papers that have been written by myself show that I structured sentences to present ideas in different ways. It is not straightforward and boring when ideas are presented. I like to keep the reader hooked on my paper. In order to keep up with this strength, I like to read articles. The articles I read are typically the ones that present new ideas or start arguments. This is one of my strengths that I am very proud

    Writing has never been a strength I have possessed. English 102 has been difficult and challenging for me because I have had to move past the high school level of a basic book report or a five paragraph paper that has narrowed my ideas of writing for many years. Putting on paper what my thoughts are in a way that is logical and accurate for what the assignment is asking has been hard for me this semester. My ideas are now more involved because I have learned through English 102 how to develop my writing skills in different formats, for example, in an annotated bibliography and a research paper. English 102 has taught me many things about writing like locating sources from the library and on line as well as continuing

    My weaknesses from my educational experience would be a couple things. To start off it would be from middle school in my English class because I’ve always hated English. So I had more of a fixed mindset I always thought that it was too hard for me to do essays like I wasn’t capable of doing them. I would start them but I never finish them. One of my goals back then was to get better at essays which is still one of my goals today. And then eventually writing essays wasn’t my weakness because I knew that I can do them. It wasn’t till another English teacher later in high school that helped me out a lot and made me like English a little more than I did back in middle school. She would push me to do everything I would say I can’t do up until I got out of the fixed mindset. Another one of my

    Meanwhile, I believe that writing is one of my weaknesses in English. I cannot say that English is my second language as an excuse to learn writing well. Therefore, I would like to spend more time on studying writing. I must try to deal with problems that I face in writing English in different ways.
