Recommended: Argumentative essay philosophy

After reviewing my written work from this this school year, I have determined my strengths and weaknesses in this course. By understanding the flaws in my writing, this allows me to better my skills and apply my thoughts. First, I do not write with enough attention to detail. I can improve my writing by being more specific with descriptions and adjectives. I tend to have a concise writing style, which has its pros and cons. I feel that I am able to address the main points, but fail to explain them to their full extent.
I write like I talk. When writing an assignment, I brainstorm all possible topics that may be used in an essay. This allows me to explore new ideas, and not be confined to square-minded thinking. The most important part of any

  • My Strengths and Weaknesses as a Writer

    442 Words  | 1 Pages

    The art of writing is a complex and difficult process. Proper writing requires careful planning, revision, and proofreading. Throughout the past semester, the quality of my writing has evolved significantly. At first, I struggled with the separation of different types of paragraphs, and I found writing them laborious. Constant practice, however, has eliminated many of my original difficulties, and helped to inspire confidence in my skills. As a collegiate writer, my strength lies in my clear understanding of the fundamentals of writing, while my primary weakness is proofreading my own work.

  • Reflection On English 101 Class

    1283 Words  | 3 Pages

    First off thanks Mr Cole for being an awesome instructor that I really enjoyed being in your English 101 class. My second quarter of English writing class in college has very challenged both my researching and writing skills. I learned a lot of about myself, and I realized that the main thing I needed to work on in all my papers was really analysing information rather than just reporting on it. One of the most things that I liked about you and your English 101 class was your editing and your media comments. They were really helpful, made me easier to understand and realize my strengths and my weaknesses from all my papers. I think my biggest strength is brainstorming and revising. I have learned that I should do lots of brainstorms, outlines and give myself more time to find things and revise all my rough drafts to make them better. On the other hand, I always was stuck in using the punctuation mark such as comma, period and semicolon in my papers. Moreover, grammatical mistakes were also my weakness because

    I believe it is important for any student who wants to do their best in a class to take a moment to evaluate their own work to determine the rate their writing is progressing and how they can continue to advance their writing. When I looked through my own work I asked myself “what have I learned this semester?” and “what do I still need to learn in order to improve my writing?”. Answering both these questions will help me with my last step of my self-evaluation, developing a plan to learn new skills.

  • What Are My Strengths And Weaknesses Essay

    Even good leaders have weaknesses and have room for improvement. One weakness that I need to work on is making sure my employees know that even though I have many qualities of an interactive leader I am still the supervisor. Lines can be blurry when using this leadership approach. Employees could misunderstand this style of leadership and when hard conversations are needed the employee can become confused and upset. I need to make sure that even though I am a friendly and open leader that my employees still understand that there is a line. I need to make sure not to go beyond that line and always keep our relationships professional. There needs to be a balance according to Rosener (1990).

  • Reflective Essay: What I Learned In My Writing Course

    534 Words  | 2 Pages

    One skill that I wish I had time to improve on is citing sources in MLA style. Through the course, I refused to seek help from my professor until week seven, one thing I regret doing. that could have allayed the fear and doubt I had about this course. Any questions I had could be cleared up as the course progressed. My essays through the subsequent weeks have demonstrated my strength and weaknesses. I do not have many strengths when it comes writing, but still I consider my greatest strength in writing to be being able to clearly understand the prompt and answer it correctly, especially with the analysis essays. I think this is just because I spend most of the scarce time on hand just to think about the prompt, for example, when I was preparing for my rhetorical analysis essay on globalization I thoroughly read both article on globalization by both Kwame Anthony Appiah and franklin Foer .An obvious struggle I have as a writer is organization and transitions. I tend to jump from one topic to another and sometimes cover. I should have used more transitional words in between sentences and paragraphs to make my reader understand the logic of my paper. I have not had enough writing experience and the writing process is difficult for me. I do sometimes admit that it takes days to complete one assignment, but it will be worth it when I become a proficient

  • My Greatest Strengths As A Writer

    429 Words  | 1 Pages

    My greatest strengths as a writer when it comes to creative writing is, so do I believe, my imagination and creativity. I have always sparked the stories that I have written with a certain touch of drama and excitement. I love making the reader wonder what will happen next by only ‘feeding’ him or her as much information as she needs to keep up with the events in my stories. I am also good at figurative language, by for instance using metaphors, similes, and other poetic devices is my stories, creating suspense and variety to keep the reader entertained. When I write essays, my greatest strength is the way I follow a strict order and through that provide a good structure.
