During the course of Advance Writing at ULL with Ms. Busby, I have accomplished a variety of goals I once thought were unattainable. I have learned different writing techniques, ways to format papers, proper tones to use, and how to find and properly use different sources. This course made me realize a lot about my strengths and weaknesses. It also helped me gain knowledge about the particular field that I am majoring in. I have not only grown as a writer and a student, but as a person as well. I feel that through my experience of this English course, I have gained the knowledge and confidence it takes to step out into the real world and begin my career in English.
Throughout the semester I was able to achieve a number of different types

That was something I always wanted to do because I fell as if when the topic is important to me it can be more helpful. I was able to meet this goal by writing paper two “What matters to professionals in your field?” In this paper I already had accomplished goal number one with knowing exactly who my audience was going to be and how to keep the correct tone in my writing. But the thing that was the most important was for me to use different types of sources to give evidence on why those things matter to people in my field. This paper required a lot of research, but a lot of good research that helped me see the things that concern the people in field and could possible concern me one day. It forced me to have to use a different form of research technique that I was not use to using. Something that allowed me to research two different topics with the search of keywords. The use of the database was the key to writing paper two. It was the eye opener to showing how I was not limited to the type of sources I could use in the writing of paper one. This research technique is very valuable because it is something that I can use in my other forms of …show more content…
It is true that everyone knows what their strengths and weaknesses are but to pinpoint them and to acknowledge and accept them is a whole different matter. During this semester I could say that my strengths are I kept an open mind to each new writing assignment even if it did not appeal to me personally at first. I tried to understand how each of the assignments could be beneficial to me. Sometimes the load of work and research that had to be put into each topic was a burden. But it was something that helped hold my attention to the topic once I started writing. My greatest strength which assisted me with my writing was the ability to look at the prompt and convey and entire essay off of
These strengths and weaknesses were mainly discovered through the papers that we have written. I have many strengths when I’m writing papers and at the same time, I have many weaknesses. In my papers, I have noticed that one of my biggest strengths is how articulate I am. The papers that have been written by myself show that I structured sentences to present ideas in different ways. It is not straightforward and boring when ideas are presented. I like to keep the reader hooked on my paper. In order to keep up with this strength, I like to read articles. The articles I read are typically the ones that present new ideas or start arguments. This is one of my strengths that I am very proud
I believe that everyone has their own strength and weaknesses, but not everyone is able to figure out their strengths and weaknesses correctly. Knowing our own strengths and weaknesses is essential because it can help to achieve success in anything we choose to do. For me, my weakness is the time management, communication skills and weak in preparing effective Curriculum Vitae (CV) Below will be further explaining all my personal weaknesses and the ways to overcome it.
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 I was first accepted into the AP Language & Composition course, I felt overwhelmed. I had always received above average grades in all subject areas, but because this was an AP course I was unsure if my English skills were up to par. During the summer, my anxiety about the course increased. I began to feel that my writing skills were inferior to the skills of my peers’. Before this course, I did not have a developed writing voice or style. I had little knowledge of what phrases or words to avoid using in writing. I started to wonder if I truly belonged in an AP course. After having completed this course, I have a better grasp of the English language and have acquired skills that have improved my writing.
To begin with, My areas of strength what I felt was so true was Key Content Knowledge section. Because that category indicates that's my area of strength. Student effort this semester is truly what I am leaning on to get by. Because honestly I never thought about going back to school until now. So constantly I challenge my effort because I am sort of a slacker when it comes to school. Academic Value is important to me so I will keep pushing to earn my degree. Secondly, My strengths will make me a better student by constantly pushing for good grades and knowledge throughout college. So far I can say applying these strengths got me on the right
Two strengths of mine throughout the first-quarter were being able to present information in front of a group of people, and coming up with good ideas for my essays. First I believe that one of my strengths are being able to go on the front of many people and fluently have information expressed. Evidence of this is when we did the multiple socratic seminars. I exceeded when doing
Another one of my strengths as a writer and a student is my determination to complete every assignment to the best of my ability. I have never been the type of student that does not get her work done, whether it be an essay for English or a workbook page for Geometry. I work diligently in all my classes and aim to learn as much as I can from every assignment. Since English is not my best subject, I work twice as hard to improve every day and bring out the best writer in me. My determination is what drove me to enhance my weaknesses and polish my strengths.
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
In conclusion, this class has truly been an invaluable learning experience for me. From finally figuring out how to correctly use the MLA format to effectively eliminating my procrastinating habits, the class has given me multiple opportunities to grow as a writer. I have developed an organizational pattern of success for me to write successfully in the future and have gained the confidence I desired to aggressively handle future written assignments. This class has allowed me to improve in areas I was already competent in and has made me address the areas where I was weak. Learning how to use the research tools available is an amazing skill that will be highly marketable no matter which career I decide to pursue. The foundation I have built by attending this class will enable me to be an expert in communicating with others in writing.
My personal strengths are that I read and remember things well from most sources. I can process new information easily which helps with various forms of math and science. However, I also possess several weaknesses. I sometimes shy
One strength I saw myself, as having when I enter college is being able to understand and critical think about a essay/article that I have read. However, after taking English 101, I have now learned that this is a strength of mine as well as a weakness.
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.
One strength I had was the organization of the essay. My sentences I wrote were not all over the place each paragraph talks about one topic. One weakness I had with writing this essay was my writing style. I noticed that in this essay my writing style was a bit choppy. I should have read my essay out loud to see if it had a good flow between my ideas.
To begin, I am going to write about my weaknesses and how they transitioned into strengths. First, I remember after each assignment in class was introduced I
... strength in creating the lesson plans for each subject was utilizing lesson plans that I currently use in my Kindergarten classroom. My weaknesses in writing the lesson plans was analyzing the lesson plans and describing the teaching methods utilized, and identifying the type of assessment, either formative or summative, for each lesson. I feel these were weaknesses because these were areas of the lessons that I had to be a little more reflective over to determine the teaching methods being used, and how I was assessing the students during the lesson. However, I feel that this weakness is actually another strength that was developed after completing the assignment. As an educator, becoming more cognizant
