Writing is a subject that needs improvement. As a writer I am going to have my strengths and weaknesses no matter how much time I spend on improving my writing. With many resources available including the CRC, writing lab, and my Composition I teacher, I can improve upon my writing skills within a matter of weeks. Improvement will take a lot of work, it will not be easy but with the help I get from all the resources I have available I know I will become a better writer, or improved writer by the end of the semester. When writing my first paper of the semester, I was nervous as to how it would turn out and how much critique I would get from my Professor and peers. While reading my paper for comments, I summed up all my strengths into four simple ones: good sentence combining, good …show more content…
When reviewing my paper, I found a lot of repetitiveness when it came to comments on mistakes; therefore, I summed them up into four simple comments: work on comma splices, watch word choices, do not put unnecessary commas were they do not need to go, and stick to the tense I am writing in. With comma splices I noticed it was more predominant in my paper, for example “I had never been outside of Licking County except for maybe a total of five to six times, I had never experienced some of the sights I was exposed to”, and with the help of my Professor and peers, I am going to nail down and correct my comma splices. Staying in the correct tense while writing is a bit tough for myself as well, for example “The general concept of Capital Bike Share is you pay eight dollars to rent a bike for thirty minutes while you sight-see around the city before you have to check it back in at another Capital Bike Share location”. Using the right tense can be difficult and tricky in some situations, but with the help of many useful resources, including the CRC, the writing lab, and my Professor I can improve the skills with
As the first semester of my sophomore year wraps up, I begin to realize that I have learned a lot in all of my classes. The class that I learned the most from has definitely been my English 111 course. This class have given me so many opportunities to improve my writing skills. With all of the success I’ve had in this class, I believe I will do just fine with writing later in my life.
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.
Over my career of schooling my writing has changed dramatically at times and very little at others. Through my years of schooling people have determined my main weaknesses and strengths that I should work on with my writing. My biggest weakness is writing introductions and conclusions they must be so complicated and require so much thought to be defined as good. I excel at writing body paragraphs and explaining all the facts that back up your main ideas though.
When writing a five paragraph essay, there are five steps one must fallow in order to attain perfection, these steps include understanding the question, brainstorming, writing a rough copy, revising, and creating a final draft. The first and most important step is understanding the topic. The topic of the essay is what the essay will be about and if this is misunderstood, the whole essay will be off course. The second step, brainstorming, will help organize thoughts and ideas so they flow amiably. There are many different ways to brainstorm, some of the most helpful are making a web of ideas, making a list of ideas, or creating a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the conviction. All these ideas will be related to the topic at hand. For example, if the essays topic is about how the earth is affected by global warming, then the brainstorming ideas might include the ozone lair being reduced or how global climate has raised. The third step when writing a five paragraph essay is creating the rough draft. The first draft must have all the features the final will, but does not have to be...
Strengths and weaknesses are possessed amongst all people, but only the most significant ones stick out the most. My biggest strength as a writer is my ability to learn from mistakes and capitalize on them. I have made many mistakes in my writing, but as this semester went on I ended up actually learning from mistakes. What also really helped me was that my essays were all graded so specifically to where I could know exactly what I did wrong. From scoring a poor grade of sixty-one on my first essay, “Nuclear Detriments: Screw Nuclear Power” to improving to a ninety-five on my last essay, “Crisis in South Korea” reflects a direct correlation in my ability to learn and fix the mistakes that I make. Although I didn’t do amazing throughout the sem...
I improved on many aspects of my writing throughout the duration of this class, but there are still some things I need to refine. Over the course my writing skills have gotten better due to the instructor’s feedback, peer reviews, and just me learning. I enjoyed peer reviews because sometimes it is easier to relate to someone my own age. The overall structure and flow of my essays have improved, as well as the use of word choice and quotations. Throughout this course, I was able to apply critical thinking and reading skills to different texts, compose essays with appropriate content development and organization, use correct style by practicing the steps of the writing process, and reflect on my own development as a writer. However, I still need to work on demonstrating correctness, including punctuation, mechanics, and
Writing is an art form that some people are blessed with being naturally talented at, and some individuals must learn and be instructed in order to become a talented writer. In our modern day American society, there is a strong need to have talented writers, so there is a large push to teach writing from grade school all the way up through college. I am an individual who was never naturally good at writing, but I was taught how to be a good writing. From my education I think I have made great strides in my ability and can pick out some qualities that distinguish good writing from bad writing. Overall, good writing takes many forms.
In this paper, I am to write about my strengths and weaknesses in writing. This is not an easy task for me because I have never considered myself a writer. Reading other peoples thoughts are activities that are more my speed. I simply have trouble putting my thoughts into writing. Since, I do not feel that I have many strengths, let's move on to my weaknesses.
A piece of writing is often just like a fingerprint of the author who wrote it. The are distinguishable traits that appear in a majority of pieces the author of the paper composes, and is unboundedly recognizable to any reader. In Composition for College this semester, I have definitely left many clear figure prints on a majority of the paper I have written. However there are some features of my writing this year that are undesirable to me, and any reader who may skim over my papers. In order to change these negative aspects of my writing, I must set a series of goals for myself too make my writing better than it was before, including trouble with using commas, and a series of punctuation errors.
Good afternoon Mrs. Shaw, Writers always need to find ways to improve in their writing. Here I have is a list of weakness I can improve on this year to make myself a better writer. One of my weakness as a writer is when I get writer's block it can be hard for me to start writing for a while. I also need to work on proofreading a writing piece. In addition, I also need to work on my punctuation and grammar.
Over the course of the semester, I feel that I have grown as a writer in many ways. When I came into the class, there were skills I had that I already excelled at. During my time in class, I have come to improve on those skills even more. Before I took this class, I didn’t even realise what I was good at. This is the first class where I felt I received feedback on my writing that helped me to actually review my work to see what areas I lacked in and where I succeeded.
I believe that life is a learning experience and being able to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses can help us become better individuals in anything we choose to do, whether it is positive abilities and skills that can help achieve our goals or negative personal areas that need improvement. Knowing yourself and what you can do, can help you recognize and overcome your weaknesses.
I tend to jump around topic to topic and my sentences just start to run on and repeat the same thing. My strengths in writing is making sure that I make sure that I always back up my points and make sure that my paper fits the topic. A “Good start— the cookie description has nice sensory details to draw your reader in.” (Prof. Church) When re-reading my papers, I don’t seem to find mistakes that my revisers find.
A Meta-Analysis is defined as being a quantitative statistical analysis of several separate but similar experiments or studies in order to test the pooled data for statistical significance. In this Creative Writing Meta-Analysis Essay, I will identify the strengths and weaknesses of my writing portfolio, what I have learned from our reading, workshops, lectures, and visiting artists. All of these various components together have aided in my representation of what it is to be a creative writer.
Before taking English 1A, I was a discouraged writer because as an English learner, I did not believe that I had any ability to be an acceptable writer. Therefore, I did not have any joy while I was doing writing assignments. However, I have gradually loved writing through this semester. I fortunately got plenty of helps from my classmates and professor; thus, my writing skills have gotten improved a lot. I currently can feel that writing is a quite enjoyable process, and I like delivering my ideas to other people by writing, too. I am really proud that I have enhanced my pre-writing skills, writing structure and revising skills and have learned how to write an effective thesis statement and how to deal with rhetorical analysis. However, I still have lots of deficiencies in my articles, such as grammar problem and the lack of logical transition.
