Final Reflection

I considered it irritating to be asked by a teacher to rewrite something they have not read and explicitly state the revision should look completely different from the original. Then I realized the essay was a constant series of revisions as I worked towards a paper I would be satisfied to submit for a grade. I would like to share the evolution of my essay from my rough draft to the final draft I submitted to Brainfuse and finally through the completed revision.
First, upon completing my essay, I utilized Word’s grammar and spelling proofing, correcting a few tiny errors such as typos and removing extra spaces after punctuation. Then I used the free online version of Grammarly as my next line of correction. Here I revised my essay by changing …show more content…

Knowing that I tend to write in a passive voice, I focused this phase of on rewriting the many passive sentences in my essay and inserting transitional phrases to better lead the reader to the next point I wanted to make. In my opinion, this phase primarily benefited the reader by showing a better organization of my thoughts and making it easier to follow my chain of thought.
Again, I submitted my essay to paperrater. While my score had improved I was still not content with the assessment so; I decided to dig deeper correcting some the mechanic errors of my writing. Here I discovered my essay had numerous short sentences and the majority of my sentence structures were very similar. So, I focused on combining sentences where possible to create a varied length of sentences as well as varying the complexity of sentence beginnings.
Finally, paperrater provided the grade of an A that I was working towards achieving. Now, I was ready to submit my paper for grading. This was when I discovered we had one additional step of submitting our essay to Brainfuse to have a tutor look over our paper before submitting them. I downloaded my paper and

My Weaknesses

Before coming into English 1101, I was pretty confident in my grammar abilities. However, during the beginning of the semester, I failed to spot some simple grammar mistakes due to my carelessness which significantly hurt the essay’s legitimacy. I learned to spend more time editing my papers with more cautiousness of these errors. Peer editing other classmates’ paper helped me learn about my own mistakes, because I learned to spend more time on it, providing more insightful feedback. The peer review exhibit demonstrates my growth on finding these errors. After identifying the errors, I gave the author suggestions to how she could improve her

The next paper I wrote was, The Tornado of the Century, it was a descriptive essay and I really focused on finding the small things in my papers to make them correct.

However, taking out this grammar issues did help my grade in the end.

My experience throughout English 101
605 Words | 2 Pages
In the beginning of English 101 I was what you call a novice writer a person who only wrote what they felt was required. However, certain techniques that I learned in English 101 made me realize that writing was not about filling requirements; it’s about speaking out, exploring and proving a point. “Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.” (Trimble, 17) In John Trimble’s quote he tries to point out that writing is something that you grow with and learn as you go along. I believe this growth was achieved with a technique that was introduced to me by my professor called repetitive revision. What I found out was that revision of your essays helps in recognizing your mistakes and enhances the flow of your essays. By providing me...

Having a minor in business and having health administration as my major, I have learned to appreciate the business classes’, especially the ones that focuses on technology. I feel my course work in MIS 3530 has allowed me to develop in serval core competencies. Over the 16 weeks, I have been able to learn more about computer systems, html, CSS, and coding videos. I have always loved computers, and for the most part I yearned to learn more about them as whole. I have never been great at coding, html, or cascading style sheet, and thus is why I decided to take the course.

Throughout this fall semester, I have learned many things. Before this class, I have never had to buckle down and plan out my writing so tediously. The many outlines, rough drafts, and final drafts have crafted me into a much better writer than I would have ever expected to become. While I have always considered English as one of my strong subjects, through this class I have learned that English has many more components than I originally thought. One of the most substantial of these components is a transitional sentence and through this class and the writing practice it has brought me, I have learned how to properly write them.

Persuasive Essay Reflection
905 Words | 2 Pages
Over the past semester, I have found the most challenging part of this course to simply be the transition from high school composition classes to college. Because writing expectations are so different in college than in high school, even with AP and Dual Enrollment “college level” classes, I first found myself being overwhelmed with the pressure to write the perfect first draft. The pressure came from knowing how much a final draft of a paper contributed to my grade. This left me sitting in front of my computer for hours at a time with thoughts of what I wanted to say racing through my head, but unable to deliver these thoughts into organized, structured sentences. I learned, through writing my persuasive essay, that instead of trying to write the paper start to finish and already in its perfect form, it is easier for me to look at the paper through its different components and focus on them individually, then work to best organize my ideas fluently.
