Final Essay: Reflections
While I reflect on Writing in the Liberal Arts and Sciences 1, I can honestly say that this course has provided me with new helpful insights on how to write papers. When writing papers, there are important factors that need to be considered, which entail the writing method to be used, research tools, and the format. Understanding your audience and your approach are very important viewpoints. Completing your thoughts through thorough analogy is a goal to be accomplished, so be sure to carefully develop your work, who knows who else may read it.
Now observing when I first started this course, my nerves were in the bottom of my belly, per say, because prior to this course, I had only been in school for 7 weeks. The outline of the course was so well organized where information and material was provided to help understand the structure for writing. Reading 40 Model Essays: A Portable Anthology written by Aaron and Repetto where we focused on composing a personal narrative essay, critical analysis essay and argument/persuasion essay, which has enhanced my capabilities to develop, organize and follow-thru with my thoughts. …show more content…

Reviewing and rereading it, although I did chronologically explain occurrences of the event, I should have properly formatted the paragraphs and cited information better. Overlooking your details can mislead the preferred audience to decipher your information differently or possibly even bore them. When writing a personal narrative essay, keep in mind that the expression of your five senses must be verbally illustrated. “[The] use [of] examples [is] to bring general and abstract statements down to earth so that listeners or readers will take an interest in them and understand them”

English 111 Reflection Paper
573 Words | 2 Pages
For my Final Reflection Essay I attempted to focus on the most obvious adjustments I made from writing high school papers to producing college level essays. This approach compelled me to examine a few of the papers I submitted in high school and look back on the steps I took to write them. By reviewing my previous work I realized that during Dr. Kennedys English 111 class I have effectively learned how to apply an outline, utilize research, and incorporate that research into my final paper. English 111 has helped me to understand the importance of the multiple steps of writing a great college level essay by forcing me to complete each step individually. My overall performance in this class has been above average and I have really demonstrated dedication to improvement.

I am always a little nervous and hesitant when I begin writing an essay. Ever since I was little I was an honor roll student, passed all my tests, was placed in honors and AP classes, and eventually graduated a year early from high school. I used to be so confident when I would begin writing a paper, I could finish it within a couple minutes. During junior year of high school, I began taking duel credit classes. I was passing all the classes so far until I reached English 111. It was an 8-week course and I started to get overwhelmed.

Reflective Essay Writing

Writing essays was never my forte, it just never came easy to me like it would to others. Since other subjects came easy to me and I had to focus more than others on writing, I had a negative attitude toward the process as a whole. During this summer semester, I was able to grow as a writer, and gain a more positive attitude toward how I write and a better feel for writing in college. Writing a paper is a process in which there are many different stages. In high school I would never write outlines or any sort of pre planning work. Other struggles I encountered in my writing were my theses, and framing quotes.

Up until this year, before taking the class intermediate composition, I thought I was a terrible writer. I was right. Writing isn’t something that I enjoy doing, nor am I good at. Writing is difficult for me because I’m not very good at explaining things in a professional manner, that can be easily well written. While writing you are expected to make little to no mistakes, which is not something I’m great at. I am so much better at explaining things with verbal words rather than written words. I had not taken any extra writing classes before this year rather than the mandatory ones. Like I had stated before, I hate writing, with a passion. I dread writing anything, especially an essay for school, like this one. I’m

Course Reflection Essay
1251 Words | 3 Pages
During this College Composition course, I came across numerous obstacles and educational involvements. Every factor of this course contributed to my overall learning experience. For starters, we often read out of our textbooks, “The Little Seagull Handbook” and “They Say I Say”. These books helped showcase proper writing techniques. In addition, we would have class discussions that everyone would participate in. This opened my eyes to different viewpoints that could influence my writing. I recall one class we had a debate over a topic and everyone had to choose a side to argue. Then when we wrote argument essays, even though they were on a different topic, it helped me view my topic in different ways. Lastly, the most helpful to my writing was peer review. We were told to read our paper out loud to our partner. Although personally I am quiet and dislike reading out loud, I found this very helpful. Instantly, my partner and I could find grammar mistakes that one may not pick up on while reading silently. Then we could also talk about other possible revisions for my paper. For every paper, we would have conferences with the professor. This was effective as well to have a professional giving corrections and ideas. When we would get back our graded rubrics on the assignments we completed, the instructor would leave comments to
