This semester has flown by. I am grateful and pleased to have had you as my instructor. I have learned, and been reminded of, a lot of important information throughout this course. In my Letter of Submission, I will try my best to address all the points that you outlined for us. Before I address those points, though, I would like to say thank you for all the hard work that you put in on our behalf. I would have to say that the most important lesson that I learned about during this semester is to always remember to consider who my audience is and how I can best get through to them. I struggled with that some in this course because the class was made up of a range of different ages. Another area that we covered in this course that I found beneficial was critical reading. Critical reading and rereading are exercises that a lot of us get lazy about, but they are important and reap great rewards. I found this especially true when it comes to remembering the details of what I have read. On the flip side of that I think that, for me personally, the least productive strategy is working from completed drafts. What I mean by that is doing a complete draft and then re-working it from beginning to end. I think that I do better when I edit small sections as I go along. I think that I tend to lose track and cut out important information when I edit my work as a whole during my working process. This happened in my informative essay. There were many places where I
While I appreciated that one of my peers provided feedback on my work, I feel that the feedback that was provided did not fulfill the assignment. My peer did not provide detailed feedback on my paper that could be adequately incorporated in my review and revisions. Most of the information that was provided as feedback were simply statements that reiterated what the prompt question was. Please see the below feedback provided to me by my peer.
The purpose of this assignment is to self-reflect on what has been learnt in the topic this semester and how it is going to influence as a health professional in our chosen field. This assessment is made to encourage us to be able to identify the values and beliefs we have as individuals and how these impact on our ability to interact without others in a diverse society. This self-reflection will include the results from an Implicit Association Test to help gain a greater awareness of my own unconscious thoughts as well as evidence from reliable sources to help back up statements and give evidence to support this assessment.

When I was three years old. My grandma took me to her house and made me learn how to write everyone’s name. Including my name that was the easiest out of the 30 names I had to learn how to write. While my grandma was teaching my how to write. I learned that I was writing in
I want to thank you again for a great semester. Your class has been exceptionally well run and enjoyable. The vast amount of information I have taken away from this class is incredible! I'm wishing you all the best in your future.
During this semester, I have learned a great deal about my own writing, and writing in general. One of the main takeaways from this course for me was how to break down the intricate process of writing papers. In addition, I developed viable skills regarding going into more in-depth detail during each step of the writing process. I enjoyed having the freedom to write about a topic that I was able to choose. This allowed me to research and write about something that actually interested me immensely. Having to work with one topic for the entire semester taught me how to find reliable resources and how to pick out the essential research from each article.
At the start of the internship, my objectives were to learn more about the film industry, to gain further insight into working life and how that differs from college and to gain more experience in the field of public relations. All in all, I felt I achieved all of these goals I set for myself. In my previous write up, I highlighted the difference I found between work life and college life. I found it pleasant that I did not have homework occupying my nights however it was difficult and draining to be focused on work for at least 8 hours a day with a small 1 hour break for lunch. From Mammoth Advertising, I also delved extensively into the inner workings of film PR, especially on how coverages for things such as trailers and posters impacts how a movie will be marketed. I was also given the chance to write press releases for things such as trailers and character debuts, which was fun and exciting. Overall, it gave me a sense of how public relations have an important and irreplaceable place in a successfully marketed film. Although my experience at Mammoth Advertising was not smooth sailing nor easy, my summer with this film PR company has definitely peaked my interest in venturing further into the film PR industry. In my future endeavors, I hope to be working for the studios such as Lionsgate, Paramount Pictures or FOX 20th Century to get a feel of what goes into making a movie successful on within distribution and production
The purpose behind this assignment from my own understanding is for a couple of reasons. One of them is to help improve and practice report writings/responses, while another reason is to express what we believe our strengths and weaknesses will be in this chosen career path. This assignment is beneficial because it will prepare us for future writing assignments in the program, and better understand how we will be graded. It will also help us reflect on what skills we think we can bring to the table, along with weaknesses we can improve on. It will be a useful assignment to reflect on my own personal strengths, and will be a beneficial tool to my success in this program.
My educational experience is one amazing thing I would never forget. My parents gave me an experience of a lifetime that I would never let go and continue to expand. It was a gift of a great education I could have tossed away but instead I took advantage of it and it expanded my intellect and made me more independent. As a young girl my parents always told me, they wanted a great educational experience for me. They said no matter what it took to get me into good schools, to have a great education they will do it. My parents worked very hard to give me the opportunity to be in private school my whole life since pre-school. They always told me to work hard, be bright and be bold. The educational level I had being in private school my whole life was amazing. What was amazing about my education level is that I was able to take all college prep. classes, I took an AP Spanish class, my teachers were always on top of us to hand in work in time, essays in my English class were based on a college level writing. It was amazing because my school expanded my mind more on a college based level.
First of all I would like to thank you for the time and hard work you put in this semester to teach my classmates and me. This semester I learned a lot in your class such as APA style writing, how to write different format essays and Bloom’s Taxonomy. In your course I not only lesrned how to become a better learner but also a better person. I still remember how nervous I was feeling the first day of class. This was my first semester attending college, which made me feel worse. Since the first day I came into your class I was expecting this course to help me improve my writting skills in English. I consider spelling to be my greatest weakness in writing because my first language is Spanish and I have a lot of trouble learning English. In this letter I will let you know what I learned and how I have met the programs standards of focus, development and clarity because I have practice APA style, writting assays and using Bloom’s Toxonomy
Beginning the writing process, I established for myself a mental roadmap. I asked myself what I was trying to say, and what the goal or intent of the writing would be. Was I attempting to persuade my readers, or to be didactic instead? I considered the "how" part of the equation later, and honed each sentence word for word. The how part of the writing process was relatively simple compared to the question of what to say, and why. I had to imbue the paper with social commentary, for there was much to say about these readings.
One of the things I learned is how some events really changed me. In essay one, I wrote about how my house burning down had changed my view on culture. Until I started on that paper I never really thought about how it had affected me, but then as I started writing it became clear how much that event changed me. I was a spoiled person who basically had everything I
The writing I did this semester for Engl 110c has meant alot to me because I was able to pick a topic that has such a huge impact in my life. I was able to do the topic about Navy Wives, which has a huge impact on me. I recently became a navy wife a year ago and my life has changed drastically. I was able to share everything I wanted to about the life of a military wife through my writings, as well as share to my classmates about my topic. I really enjoyed creating my ePortfolio because I could come out of my shell and be me. I made a ePortfolio website that would be for military wives to read. I believe this website would be perfect for any military wife reading it. I was able to give tips and information on what it’s like to be a military wife, how to prepare for deployments and how to stay strong being a military wife.
When I first came across this assignment I felt that it was going to be easy for me, I felt that it was going to be a breeze, but it turns out that it wasn’t so easy. Writing for me is always so complicated I always seem to feel down when I express myself in writing, although others may say its “creative”, or its “good”, my self-esteem always brings me down. Even though I am working on my self-esteem, trying to get it to where I’ve always wanted it to be I have difficulties like everyone else. When I know I’m going to have trouble on an essay I tend to do research, radically I use words that I wouldn’t normally say or that kids my age wouldn 't know to make myself seem smarter than what I come off to be. Once I find
Throughout life it is important to take time to reflect because it is so easy to become tangled in our worries, stress, and busy schedules. Reflection can differ depending on the individual. For example, reflection to one individual can be accomplished through attending mass and having time to pray to God. For another individual, reflection could consist of participating in meditation or yoga. No matter how it is done it can be beneficial to one’s health and well-being. Reflection consists of taking time to carefully think and so it is necessary to make time for it especially since we are so use to a lifestyle of constantly going and never stopping. Personally, I try my best to reflect each day. In order to make goals for myself at the
