Recommended: The importance of academic writing styles

As I read through “Revisualizing Composition” by several different authors, different ideas and thoughts came to my mind. For me, as being a student writer, I can understand why the data they gather is what they got. If I were to take the survey I would have put texting, lecture notes, lists, academic papers, research papers for the most frequently written genres I use. I am texting from the minute I wake up to the minute I go to sleep. I take notes every day in class. I make up to 10 lists a day of what I need to do, what homework I need to do, and so on. I have to write papers all the time for school. I want to become a scientist; to become a scientist means there will be many times I will have to write a research paper. For me I use texting, lecture notes, lists, academic papers, research papers for the most frequently written genres. …show more content…

I might not use these as frequent as other forms of writing, but to me they are very valued. With research papers they are going to be read by other people, such as scientists. They need to be written very well for people in order for them to understand the topics discussed in the research paper. Academic papers are used to grade you and where you are at in your writing capabilities. Lecture notes are valuable because if you have really bad notes, you won’t have anything to study; these terrible notes will ultimately cause you to do badly on exams. Both resumes and forms are important because people aren’t going to know you and the only way for them to see if you are qualified for a certain position is from what you put on the resume and the

  • Rhetorical Analysis On Disciplines

    1152 Words  | 3 Pages

    Understanding how to write within a particular profession is an essential tool needed to excel professionally and ultimately, have articles published. However, a question must, first, arise and be addressed before any writing takes place. Denise K. Comer, author of Writing in Transit, states, “Disciplines are in many ways defined by questions” (39). Questions are the basic tool used to perform research projects which lead to written and published articles. Without questions, we, as the human race, would be uninformed or mislead.

  • Dilemmas in Assessment of Student Writing

    1119 Words  | 3 Pages

    Being a new teacher of English, I find the assessment of compositions to be a concept I question and struggle with on a regular basis. Having consulted several colleagues, mentors, administrators, and fellow graduate students, I have come to the conclusion that there is no easy answer to this tedious yet ever important question. While there are many inlets and outlets to this dilemma, for the sake of time I will touch on only three. While all three are very different in terms of concepts, rituals, and conducts, they all come together to one common goal - helping students express themselves in terms of writing.

    Edgar Allen Poe describes in great detail, his poem “The Raven”, in The Philosophy of Composition. Never before had I been able to read a poet describe in his own philosophy of making a poem. Poe goes in deep context and meaning to how he derives the story line to his poem. He explains what significance the raven plays in the poem and the beauty of his intent in the poem.

    Writing is everywhere. In terms of friendship, space and appropriation kind of all underpin a concept of fieldwork. Lisa Radford rationalises her method of writing as an exercise in mapping. A map which manifests from a central point through perception and subjectivity, unearthing itself to find a befitting point of origin and end, however expedient. Encapsulating the process of how she mentally puts words to a page; drawing upon social connections as well as the frequent conversations between students, Radford outlines a method both highly resourceful and subjective while placating her own conflicts upon the issue, avoiding the grasp of authorship and experiencing the writing as a compelling structure rather than direct manifestation.

  • Synthesis Essay

    Television has affected every aspect of life in society, radically changing the way individuals live and interact with the world. However, change is not always for the better, especially the influence of television on political campaigns towards presidency. Since the 1960s, presidential elections in the United States were greatly impacted by television, yet the impact has not been positive. Television allowed the public to have more access to information and gained reassurance to which candidate they chose to vote for. However, the media failed to recognize the importance of elections. Candidates became image based rather than issue based using a “celebrity system” to concern the public with subjects regarding debates (Hart and Trice). Due to “hyperfamiliarity” television turned numerous people away from being interested in debates between candidates (Hart and Trice). Although television had the ability to reach a greater number of people than it did before the Nixon/Kennedy debate, it shortened the attention span of the public, which made the overall process of elections unfair, due to the emphasis on image rather than issue.

  • Jean Anyon Essay On Social Class

    826 Words  | 2 Pages

    We would do research on a subject or a person, and write about them. We, once again, were not allowed to be unique in our writing or think creatively or critically. This is the time when I was taught the five paragraph essay. As stated in Gray’s article, the five paragraph essay is detrimental to students’ writing. This format for writing is damaging because it doesn’t allow students to express their own ideas about a topic. It does not allow for any creativity or uniqueness in a paper. In tenth grade, I wrote many papers for my English class, but I never once got an A on them. I was led to believe that my writing was weak because I could not relate to what I was writing about. I did not have any emotional connection to the research papers I had to write, and it made it harder for me to write them. I had grown up not being allowed to think critically, and therefore, my papers in high school lacked creativity and deeper

    Composition music theory has a longing history of how it was brought up and the way it has evolved into new cultures. “Musical Composition, the act of conceiving a piece of music, the art of creating music, or the finished product. These meanings are interdependent and presume a tradition in which musical works exist as repeatable entities. In this sense, composition is necessarily distinct from improvisation.” (Crossley-Holland, Peter)

Entering this class the majority of papers I had written were all analytical, and in this class we went above and beyond the basic 5 paragraph essay. Though each paper had a different genre and style, I learned that each project was similar in composition.

  • What I Learned in My Freshman Class of Composition 1

    670 Words  | 2 Pages

    This course was the first course I took as an incoming freshman, as anyone could imagine I was scared and nervous at the same time. Also since it is a writing course; I was hesitant if I wanted to continue in the class because writing is very challenging for me as an immigrant. Returning from summer break, I found it extremely tough to continue where I left off with my writing skills from high school. The fear of writing that my old high school teacher instilled in me did not help my writing anxiety either. In contrast, I found that the professor and the course were not at all intimidating as I assumed, the professor took time from his busy schedule to help his students to further improve their writing and the writing topics were very stimulating and thought provoking. Composition 1 has helped me learn more about myself and my writing skills, which allowed me to further self-evaluate myself, find where I need improvement and become motivated to change.

  • Never Enough Time in the Classroom

    I mentioned previously how I was conducting a little bit of an experiment on my own in my classrooms. Comparing the use of notecards in the spring to the fall when they were not required. Hopefully at the end of the year I will be able to see if anyone actually improved his or her scores by using this study method. I did not consider writing down my results in order to supplement the data. I was simply going to draw my own conclusions and percentages regarding the increase in material retainment. The writing part just didn’t occur to me to be necessary. Reading this chapter really broke it down in terms of organization and it was even motivational. It had me pondering, what if I actually did put the results in writing. Thinking of it in its entirety seemed intimidating, but if I were to break it up into pieces and tackle portions one at a time it wouldn’t seem so obnoxious.

  • What I Learned in Communication Skills Class

    760 Words  | 2 Pages

    During the course of this semester; the variety of writing styles and essays assigned to me in my communication skills class encouraged the development of my writing skills, as well as provided me with more self-assurance in my abilities. My writing, research, and presentation abilities enhanced through practice, determination, and the understanding I gained during this course. With every single writing assignment, I learned new innovative approaches and skills, which enhanced my abilities to improve my thoughts logically, enabling me to write more clearly, and to organize my papers more effectively. At the beginning of this semester; despite the fact that I already knew the terminology MAP: message, audience, purpose; I never really understood the significance of MAP. For this reason, my writing lacked clarity, organization, and my writings appeared less focused on the topics. As a result my research papers and essays did not flow as smoothly from one passage to the next. Furthermore, I was unaccustomed with the precise procedures used when writing an essay. For instance, my previous classes before college, although requiring a reference page, did not require me to include proper citations in my writings. After evaluating the quality of my writing toward the end of the semester, I recognized vast improvements in several areas of my writing. By concentrating on the beginning stages of my writings, I could distinguish ahead of time my audience and my message. As a result, my essays are clear, and I remain on topic. In addition to that using transition phrases efficiently also helps my writing to flow smoothly. The proper use of transitions makes my writings easy to follow from one topic to the next. I also learned that pre-writing...
