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

    One of the biggest weaknesses I have is not being able to transition from paragraphs effectively. In the Lord of the Flies and Asher Lev essays, I did not create a good flow through the essay, making it sort of choppy. I can improve this by increasing my knowledge of transition words and not expanding ideas too much. Also I have to work on slowing down my pace with writing and watch out for grammar mistakes. A way I could improve this is learning the placement of quotations in sentences, that they should be after a period in some cases. Another idea that I have to improve on is choosing the best evidence for my claim. In the Lord of the Flies essay, I had not chose the best evidences and it did not effectively show examples of the claim. I have to learn how to pick evidence that best suits my point of the argument and that I can tie in with my

    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
