111 Reflection

Personally, from the class of English 1101, I have learned on how to use the writing processes effectively, where the first step is to have a pre-write, which focuses on brainstorming ideas form either the group or from individuals’ brain for the required topic. The second phase of the process is the thesis statement, which is the primary idea of the entire essay. I discovered that the thesis statement should be persuasive and truthful. The third step is on developing drafts, where it showed me on how to focus on content, organization, and style. Again, I noted that I must ask myself who is my audience, and what do they want or need to hear.

The Author Reid, E Shelley states the importance of writing, and the tools that college students have in order to create a well-organized, legible and informative essay. The article “Ten Ways to Think about Writing: Metaphoric Musings for College Writing Students” is divided in ten general principles of writing, showing clear examples of each principle through the work, She perfectly explains how reasoning and creativity could work together as a tutorial for college students essay writing.

In English 131 we are expected to meet four outcomes that will help improve our writing. Outcome One aims to demonstrate us how to adapt to various forms of audiences and styles of writing. Throughout this course, I have been oblivious on how to meet Outcome One, but with time I became more comfortable in meeting it. One of the key factors in meeting Outcome One is being able to adapt to an audience which can be done by utilizing the correct vocabulary, tone and style. Another factor to meet is to know to write in various forms of writing by using the components stated above, but also the organization of the text.

This semester I learned many new things in my English 1301 class. I took this class last year but I had to drop it because I didn’t have a professor explaining the work to me. And I really didn’t understand what I was doing. At first, I was scared to take this class. During my high school years I wasn’t that good of a writer. I thought this composition class was going to be hard since I sometimes thought it was hard in high school. My writing experience was good and sometimes bad. This semester in the composition class I had many writing strengths and weaknesses. These strengths and weaknesses is what helped me learn the errors I was making while writing essays this semester.

This is Tracy (Cuixing) He. I am a 3279, and I work at the Golden Gate Park Senior Center. Victor have told me that because of the changes that are happening in the recreation & park, I need to apply as a 3278 in order to work during summer. I wonder what steps should I take to apply for 3278.

Proficient writing is an essential skill in all aspects of academic and professional achievement. English 101, Introduction to Composition and Rhetoric, provided the framework to good writing, teaching me composition and rhetoric fundamentals, polishing up my grammar and style, and expressing a clear message. English 102, Composition, Rhetoric, and Research, continued to build on the skills I learned in English 101, focusing on the subject matter research process and employing various rhetorical and literary devices to better express a clear message to the reader. The course also improved my critical thinking capacity, allowing me to culturally evaluate my target audience, present logically flowing arguments using appropriate language and structure, and critically reviewing my writing projects for content and expression. Every writer inherently knows there’s always room to improve and I hold fast to this mindset in all academic, professional, and personal writing projects. English 102 has both challenged and inspired me to grow into a much better writer than before I began the class, providing the necessary skills to be not just a good writer, but a great writer.

Over the past year I had a chance to develop a deeper understanding of what it takes to develop successful paper. Taking English 1010 was a great experience because it prepares students on becoming better writers through college life. Even though this is my second year in college I was unable to take English 1010 the first year, but taking this class truly show me what college professors are looking for when we are ask to write a successful paper. College professors expect every student to be able to evaluate each topic and be descriptive in their essay.

While attending writing class, I learned about the 4 steps in writing, bases for revising, organizing, and connecting specific information, and I also learned about the different types of essays such as descriptive, narrative, process, cause and effect and argumentative essay. I have been a student at Milwaukee Area Technical College for 1 semester, and over the course of my enrollment I have grown and learned more that I knew prior to attending this writing course. Participating in this writing class has taught me so much more than stuff about literature and language, it has taught me another way of expressing myself. I have learned here how to write and express myself, how to think for myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don 't know. Most importantly I have learned how important technique, outlines and organization are. My goal in this paper is to inform writers about how my writing skills have improved.

English is my second language. Learning English has always been challenging for me. As of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, “Everything is hard before it is easy.” USD has provided me the solid platform to grow my knowledge and thoughts. Now, I feel comfortable in writing and express my ideas. It Is mainly due to the way of teaching by the professor and the struggle for writing by myself throughout the semester. During the semester, I enjoyed writing two major essays: Ad analysis essay and RBAA essay. “Sugar Free Advertisement For CHUPA CHUPS” was my ad analysis essay. In this essay, I have discussed how the advertiser portrayed the image of ants to attract the attention of the consumers. My RBAA essay. “The Future of Mass Media and Social Networking:

This semester, I learnt many writing skills and tried different type of essays. I wrote three type of essay, Formal Academic Critique, Causal Analysis and Argument Research. We started with practicing the technique to summarize and paraphrase the article. Then we did research practice based on “Stand on your Ground”. Through this practice, I learnt how to narrow down my topic, by combing the main topic, viewpoint and focus aera. This skill is very useful, as it is easier to structure essay in this way.

I didn't want to appear as though I was trying to influence my final grade, so I waited a week or two before sending this.

In order to succeed in this class one most have the following of this items. The

In writing it’s important to have an understanding of what you’re trying to convey for your audience in addition to how you you will present your ideas. Effective communication extends beyond having well organized writing expressed in complete and coherent sentences. The style, tone and clarity of writing must also be considered, as they are constantly changing relative to the audience. Again, analyzing one’s audience and purpose is essential to successful writing. Appropriately, when choosing the most effective language, it is important to consider the document objective as well as the reader. In essence, this idea of effective use of language has been the overarching theme of this online English course. Each writing assignment

About a month ago, I was carrying out my plan of my research project of my writing class. As an international student, I spend most of time on this course because I need to improve my writing and reading abilities within a short period. Before last month, I never wrote this kind of essay that explain your thesis statement based on your research. You need to collect authoritative data and facts to support your idea in order to make your essay more persuasive. By doing that assignment, I’ve learned something beyond this assignment. That is attitude, an attitude to be an academic writer.
