Writin Writing Class Analysis

When I think back to the time right before we started writing our essay I realize that in order to come up with any ideas for the paper we had to chew on one thought for over ten minutes. For example when I read the sentence that we wrote about fast-paced live of professionals that reside in the city, I remember that just that one sentence took us about fifteen minutes to finally use it on our paper. It seems like we should have done some free-writing before we started this assignment. When we started to write this essay we didn’t have a clear visual on our thesis. We had lots of information that was scattered and had no connection between the Robot, the Jeep and the advertisement that was being talked about. In this essay I included lots

Throughout the progression of this course I learned countless things concerning my writing. {Simkin, M. G., Crews, J. M., & Groves, M. J. (2012). While it’s there’s a many amounts of things ‘ve learned throughout the course, there are several things I‘ve learned which include the step by step process, including the correct usage of grammar and properly proofreading my work before I turn it in.

From writing about pop culture impact in my life to argumentative essay about streaming services and cable, I have learned many different things from my composition class. This class has helped me become a great critic, a great researcher and most importantly a great writer.

One of my weaknesses in my writing is that I tend to have a “one track mind”. Once I have an idea about how to word something or organize an essay, I tend to only see it from that perspective, even if it’s not the most optimal way to convey my arguments. This class helped me think outside of the box and learn to organize things like I would not normally do, this included how I would analyze texts or synthesize ideas. The in-class activities helped me learn to be creative, the class readings gave me examples on how to organize that creativity and the instructor conferences helped me further organize my thoughts and organization.

This year in English II CP, we are analyzing our class syllabus. The three main concepts that stand out to me are measurable course objectives, rules and expectations and the late work policy. This year we will have improvements of reading, writing, and grammar in this course. In this English II class, the three most important things are objectives, rules and expectations, make up and late work policy.

I have learned many skills during my time in the introductory writing class of WRIT 1. This class focuses on academic writing, the purpose of which is to accurately and concisely provide your audience with necessary information. Professionals across all disciplines must have this ability, as no ideas are practical if no can understand them. This skill in particular has developed with every iteration on this paper that I have written. One way that this skill has manifested is on the sentence scale. I have learned how to better reformat sentences, without changing their fundamental meaning, to make them more understandable and concise.

This semester has been quite different, mainly because I took a few different English classes that I normal wouldn’t have taken. I took a ‘reading’ class; I miss reading classes in school. Don’t get me wrong, writing classes are important too, and I’m not just saying that because I’m writing this essay for a writing class. They’re important due to the fact that they teach valuable lessons like correct punctuation, grammar, spelling, dictation and most importantly, how to bull crap your way through any paper.

The first couple days of class were not as bad as I thought they would be. I was pretty lonely at first because I had no friends, but a couple of days later I started becoming more social and made a couple friends. My classes are exactly what I expected, I knew they would be harder than high school but still do-able. One thing that was new to me was that my teachers didn’t know me because they are all big lecture classes. The reason why I like my writing class because it’s a small class and my professor is nice, outgoing and makes the class fun. The work isn’t too overwhelming yet, but blackboard is very confusing sometimes and I missed some assignments.

The letter writing activity was a very new experience for me in terms of academic writing. Not only has it been an extremely long time since I have written an actual letter that needed postage, but it was also the first time that I had written in this type of genre for a school assignment. For this assignment we needed to write a letter to a loved one from home about our college experience so far. It was different from the other assignments that we have done in this class because we each had our own personal connection with the audience. We knew exactly who was going to be reading this letter and could therefore cater the writing and style to what the person would prefer/enjoy. Personally, in my letter I was able to make references to certain

“The scariest moment is always just before you start.” - Stephen King. I have always been afraid of writing because I lack the skills needed to create effective sentences. When I learned you had limited openings for your Written Communication class, I knew I had to stop procrastinating and contact you immediately.

Expectations are the belief that someone will or should achieve something. It influences our actions and work ethic, as well as the outcome of our experiences. By having healthy and challenging expectations, we drive ourselves to become a more successful part of society. Furthermore, setting high expectations for ourselves in an academic setting can assist us in becoming more intelligent and determined individuals. This semester at Point University, I hope to set and achieve standards that will be beneficial to me, not merely for this semester, but also as I go on to continue my college education and adult life. I hope that in this English class I am able to enhance my writing skills, gain knowledge and advice from my instructor, and be able to complete this course with an exceptional grade and a healthy outlook.

I walked into my first day of 6th grade English class greeted by a young woman with a voice that easily filled the entire classroom. I listened intently as my English teacher introduced herself and enthusiastically described all the creative assignments that were awaiting us. As the bell rang, signaling the end of class, I excitedly thought to myself that this was going to be a great teacher who challenged me. After all, writing was one of my passions as evidenced by the endless notebooks and scraps of paper that blanketed my bedroom. As the first few days unfolded I was optimistic and excited. That was until the work began.

This semester in Expository Writing class, I learned ways that can make my writing precise and professional looking. Specifically, I learned to revise my writing by using two skills of RADAR revision: deleting and reading, and I demonstrated my understanding of these skills in personal statement number 1 and 2.
