Strengths And Weaknesses Of My Writing

Analyzing my strengths and weaknesses as a writer is extremely important. Despite the fact that I understand the structure of a good argument, I still miss obvious errors in my papers because I lack the skills necessary to properly proofread my own work. In the future, I plan on spending a large portion of my time

When it comes to my writing skills, I know what my strengths and weaknesses are. One skill that I have honed over the years is my introduction-writing. In this essay, I started out with a question intended to draw my readers in: what is a family? I then elaborated on the question and worked in my thesis. Another aspect of my writing that I think I did well on is my spelling.

Although systemically different depending on the genre, style of writing and topic that is provided for me, the ultimate end product of my writing process contains hints of writing characteristics unique to my style of writing. If I am given a writing piece that provides a series of prompts that I can chose from, my process for writing this piece will start by creating a web. This web will contain a rough outline for each individual prompt, followed by a series of ideas that I have stimulated around the provided topic. Ultimately I will weigh the pros and cons for each prompt. It is here where I will look for which approach I can take that will best suit incorporating my personal voice. Utilizing my own voice in my writing is undoubtedly what

In my writing, I find that my strengths include my ability to deliver a rich vocabulary within my writing, my proficiency of being able to outline a strategy for an essay, as well as my skillset of being able to effectively organize my ideas within essays while still being able to construct sensible and clear arguments.

Some strengths that I have as a writer is I’m good at making the page flow better. I have gotten better at making it flow better than what I did last year and last year I did really good on making my paper flow. Another strength I have is the length I do my paragraphs. I like to make my paragraphs long because my stories end up being better. Some weaknesses I have is capitalization the reason why I’m bad at capitalization is because I read to fast and so I don’t see where I stopped one sentence and start a new one. I’m really bad at my punctuation because I just put periods everywhere instead of using commas or semicolons. I’m also bad at my wording like I use the same words over and over. My introductions for a paper are bad because I don’t know how to start the first paragraph. My organization is bad because I start writing about one thing then my next sentence is about something else then I jump back to what I was saying. The last thing I’m bad at in writing is picking out what I’m going to write about because I feel that I write about the same things over and

My most recent writing course was English 102, which I took last year. I've also completed all of the lower division degree requirements, some of which were heavy on writing (anthropology, critical thinking, etc.). I tend to score well in writing classes and generally don't get a lot of feedback about where I need to improve. I think my weaknesses are centered around being too direct; sometimes it's hard for me to meet a word count while keeping everything clear and concise. I'd like to improve my ability to make content flow without being redundant or frivolous. Additionally, I'd like to work on being thorough and providing enough detail without feeling like I'm wasting space on the page. I believe that these weaknesses are also my strengths

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.

I have four strengths and three weakness coming into this writing course. One of my strengths is expressing my creativity, by using my kinesthetic learning skills. For example, I exercise to help stimulate my brain to come up with ideas. Next, I am very organized. I use a story outline to organize my introduction, three body paragraph, and conclusion. Also, my writing style keeps my readers hooked. At the beginning of my introduction, I make dramatic statements using humor and controversy. Finally, I have an excellent build of vocabulary. I know how to pick the most appropriate word, to make my sentence sound great.

I have a lot more weaknesses than strengths when it comes to my writing. One of my weaknesses is that I have a difficult time coming up with something to say regarding the subject that I am writing about. If you want me to write about a topic or issue, I can easily do it in one paragraph. It is hard for me to elaborate and expand my ideas. I don’t ever “take it to the next level” because I am not sure how to do such a thing without getting off topic. Another weakness is that I am not very skilled at writing argumentative essays- especially when they have to be presented. The whole time I am writing I am afraid I’m going to offend someone or make someone mad at me for what I said or what my views are.

In this class, I have really realized my strengths and weaknesses in my writing skills. Before this class, whenever I had a paper to write usually I would wait to the last minute and wing it. However, in this class I could not simply do that. So much research had to be done in order to compose these papers that it was a bit overwhelming. Learning to narrow my focus was key not only to surviving this class but to composing a well-organized paper without rambling as well. I learned that I’m a bit ambitious whenever I feel passionate about a subject, which can make writing the paper easy, however it makes it hard to feel like the paper is ever perfect. On the bright side this often leads me to put a lot of hours into a paper in hopes that it will

On November 21, 2017 I made the biggest mistake in my academic career. I turned in a crap essay to a college level class. I received a “B” and that is the lowest I have ever scored on an essay. This experience has taught me a lot though, it showed me my strengths and weaknesses when writing. I have learned that my writing is best when I am motivated because I am intrigued by the topic I am writing about. On the other hand my writing is the worst when it is rushed, like my “Transcendentalism and American Romanticism”essay. My writing also takes a hit because I have a hard time changing my writing based on others suggestions and my ignorance to commas.

I have learned much about myself as a reader and a writer. When I first came to ENF, I had a difficult time reading and writing. My strengths in reading are picking up meanings of certain words, developing vocabulary, and finding main ideas and details in a passage. My weaknesses as a reader are picking up contexts clues that can help figure out words I do not know in an essay and not being familiar with word parts. My reading skills improved by learning to understand context clues and word parts. The activities that have helped improve my reading skills are making study cards, taking notes, developing new vocabulary, using different websites to practice, and the app Elevate. My strengths in writing are, to know what my topic will be, the main idea, and the thesis statement. My weaknesses in writing are coming up with details and examples, developing ideas, writing introductions, and revising ideas. As a writer, I have learned to stay on topic, understand what I need to write about, to capitalize the first letter of nouns that are a place, and not to abbreviate words in an essay. The activities that helped improve my writing are the app Elevate, Connect, and the readings in the ENF book.

Writing is a skill that takes time to develop. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is very important. Being aware of your strengths can help you stand out, and your weaknesses show you areas where improvement is needed. Like everybody I have weaknesses as well as strengths, and being conscious of them helped me improve my writing skills.

The weaknesses I have as a writer is when writing essays my grammar and vocabulary aren’t that well, which makes it harder for me to write my essays. This makes the structure of my paragraph not good and makes some sentences not make any sense. Another weakness that I have in writing is that I don’t add enough evidence in my paragraphs for my essays. This makes the paragraphs lack content which doesn’t help me prove my point that I am trying to prove in that essay. Some weaknesses I have in reading is that I lose focus to quick. A lot of long novels or stories don’t suit me because I can't focus or pay attention to the book for long periods of time. When I am reading carelessly and can’t focus on the book I don’t understand anything

A year ago, I was very poor on writing papers, with very little knowledge on writing papers. I came from an entirely different background of English writing and literature and I was taught to use difficult words which made no sense and made readers reach out for dictionary every time. I was hardly improving on my writing skills and was afraid of getting into a college in the United States and write papers. When I joined your class ENGL 160, even though I got into the class after taking the placement test, I was not ready to believe that I don’t have to take any low-level courses prior to taking 100 level courses. My writings before joining your class, reflected vague generalizations, plagiarized content and lacked expressions. I had never cited any sources in my high school and never knew the importance of citing resources.
