Recommended: How i improved my writing skills essay

Looking back on this class I find my writings have improved since the first essay I composed. I was a nonexistent writer with no formal writings. I had a hard time forming ideas and organizing my work. With this class I have become a more confidant strong writer. In the beginning of this course everything took me triple the time from start to finish than it does now. If you would had me do an essay in the short amount of time that I am doing my final in I would have tapped out. This class has improved my writings, but I still have much to learn as a writer. In time with instruction and practice I will be an accomplished writer. I would have like to take a refresher class before this class began this would have helped me tremendously. The writing I did before this class was very basic pretty much nothing. I graduation in 1998 and during my High School years I was not …show more content…

This class has enlightened me on the stages of the writing process. The organization of thoughts has helped me to improve along with being more confidant. The beginning of any writing essay is a hard thing for me I take awhile to gather my thoughts and ideas. Putting them on paper and explaining myself has improved tremendously. I still need more explanation in my essays along with the technical corrections. When comparing my first essay to the current ones I find myself more sure of myself. It was difficult for me to express myself and get my thought process together. My strengths in this process would probably be my humor and trying to entertain. My weaknesses are my thesis and second person. I cannot find myself not using second person I will try to rewrite the sentence just to get around the problem. I still am not able to get the thesis process down as you can see in this sad attempt of an

  • Reflection On The English 1301 Course

    2291 Words  | 5 Pages

    Entering this course I was worried because I have struggled with writing in the past, and writing has never been my strongest area. I feared writing classes in middle and high school, and had the same expectations for this course. I had wondered if I was ready for college English, and was worried that my skills and abilities would not be one the level they needed to be for college courses. My attitude and understanding of my writing process have both changed since the beginning of this semester. One thing that really helped my attitude and confidence was the fact that I was able to complete the assignments and get a decent grade. I was worried that I might not be able to do college level writing, and when I started completing the assignments and learning new ways to write my confidence and attitude changed. Another thing that really helped me throughout this course was that there was plenty of reading and information available to guide me through my assignments. I realized that there was more freedom when it comes to writing than I had experienced in high school. Being able to write more freely, and the freedom to choose what subjects I would write over made the assignments more enjoyable and easier to

    This year, I learned a lot in College Writing 112. This class is different from any other classes. You cannot learn to write by only going to class and listening to the lectures. It is something that you can only learn it by yourself; the professors can only guide you through the difficulties. The only way to improve writing is to practice. The more you write, the better you will become. Once you learn it, it will become part of you—you will never forget writing.

  • My Growth As A Writer

    789 Words  | 2 Pages

    Most of us write in some form every day, so you would expect that most of us would be well practiced and pretty good at writing. I read and write all the time; I have been taken several college courses and nearly all of them require write of some form. However, before taking this class not only was I not a good writer, I knew I wasn’t a good writer. Now I am not saying that I am ready to write my first novel, but I certainly more confident in turning in my college papers. The content of this course and the style of teaching was incredibly beneficial to me. Throughout this course we had multiple assignments that were aimed to improve us as writers. I am sure that everyone took something different from this course, and I am sure that each student took more from some areas than others; however for me there were three major things that I saw that I benefited from most. Our weekly craft lessons, grammar plan, but most of all, observational learning.

    Throughout the semester I have learned an astounding amount of information. The English 101 curriculum has not only taught me how to write in general, but also taught me a variety of ways to get my point across to the reader. Before I took English 101 I was an average writer at best, but now that I am taking a class that focuses on writing strategies I feel that I have been able to improve as a writer. During the course we were taught how to write an informative essay as well as how to write a persuasive essay. The type of writing that this class has taught me will most definitely help me with future classes as well as my future in the real world. Throughout the English 101 course I have been able to improve as a writer by composing essays

  • Social Awarness in Writing

    The biggest improvement I have made in this course would be my passion to write again. Prior to this class, writing was a hobby that I would do as a last resort. I was intrigued with it, however, it was not passion.  For years I believed my writing was not good enough because I could not properly express my thought process in a manor of which others could comprehend; I believed my writing was very weak.  In the beginning of this class, the reason I was late for many papers is because I did not want to hand an assignment that demonstrate my lack of writing abilities. However, as the class progressed and I continued to complete the assignments, the more confident I became in my writing. Moreover, the way I have grown as a writer is becoming more confident within the words I wrote.

  • What I Learned this Semester about Myself as a Writer

    977 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 101 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. This was my first college writing course and it has given me much more freedom when writing because in high school I felt limited and like what we were writing was not very important. In high school I would write essays to just to fulfill the required word or page count and to a degree I still feel like this but maybe that is why I am an engineering major but in this course I actually was able to express my ideas and for the first time really test the limits of my writing capabilities. I really enjoyed being able to incorporate my voice more in my essays and I believe that I developed my own personal style a bit from this. At the beginning of the semester my writing was quite choppy and there was plenty of room for improvement in the overall flow of my essays. Now, I use several different tactics such as outlining to create better connections between paragraphs. I believe I was able to move beyond many of the high school ways of writing and make general improvements to my essays.

  • Reflection Of Writing: 'The Achievement Of Desire'

    I feel as though this class has helped me become a more polished and professional writer. When I first entered English 110, I was extremely unsure and lacked confidence in my writing. I believe that this point can be partly attributed to the fact that I always had my instructors holding my hand and helping me through the writing process in high school. My senior English teacher always reminded us that college would be much more challenging than her class was, and then she would go on to tell us stories of professors who gave out zeros for tiny oversights within a paper. This, combined with general apprehension about college life, left me terrified.

    Over the period of time that I was in this course, I thought it would be a very simple and easy to finish class.
