Reflection Post
I have developed as a writer in many ways, one being my ability to create an academic argument with the ability to reconsider your views on the topic. I have also learned how to make sentences flow properly and make my ideas reflect on my writing. Some lessons about writing that I can apply to my other class would be clarity. I have a problem with trying to fill my papers with just random words to get the desired length without properly providing the basic knowledge of what I am writing about. I feel that I can now have confidence and be able to successfully write a scholarly piece of work.
I liked all of the work that I did, but if I was to pick one it would be my last paper about steroids. The reason I liked this one the most was because it was a topic of my own and it was about something that I was interested in. One of the strategies I have used to overcome some of the challenges of writing this semester would be conjunctive adverbs. Not to sound silly, but I think that ever since I started using them my sentences have flowed nicely and has made my papers seem more interesting to read. My strengths in writing were very few, but I think that I can relate well to the audience. I try to give examples so that the audience can relate to my topic in some sort of way. The areas that I need to develop more as a writer would be the basics. I see that I have problems with punctuation. I still see in my writings today that I barely ever put commas in and when I do most times they are in the wrong place. I also think that I need to work on my flow of my paper. I’m so scatter brained that sometimes my sentences don’t transition well with the other sentences around it.
I have learned so much while in English 102 and I have enjoyed it. I don’t like English that much but this semester I did and I thank you Mr. Micer for that. I hope that my writing will continue to develop and get better in the future and I will become successful at writing. With all this said I think I deserve a B. The reason I said just a B and not an A is because I personally don’t think that my work was A worthy and I have work to do on my writing but I hope that one day in the future that it will be A work.
