M.+Course+Reflection

I feel that I have grown as a writer by a lot of things in my junior year. In the beginning I didn’t have as much knowledge about writing as I do now. During sophomore year my writing skills didn’t improve as much as they did this year. Junior year has helped with my grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. Over the year I have increased my skills since last year. One of my weaknesses before was my sentence structure. I didn’t know how to use commas or get rid of run on sentences like I do now. One of my new strengths are that I am better at spelling and vocabulary. Using different vocabulary makes my papers sound more unique and intelligent. Also my spelling and usage of words has also helped such as the there, their, and they’re. My grammar has improved also by knowing the right words to put in places that are needed. Overall, I’ve grown stronger in those places the most. Ive also learned how to use proper citations when writing research papers. For many years I never knew how to successfully do it. Doing this helps with the credibility of my statements in any of my papers. I think that the wikis have their ups and downs. An up that they have is that its accessible at home even if you lose your paper or don’t have a printer. That is very helpful since I don’t have a printer. On the other hand a down is that for those who have different types of word processor on their computer, the documents can’t be uploaded correctly. The wikis are very organized and perfect for writing projects, but for leaving documents up to look at hinders its uses since some people have an older computer. My junior year has taught me a lot about what I need to know as far as writing. These skills are very necessary for the future and for applying to different colleges. Many things colleges look for are the little things such as grammatical errors, spelling errors, vocabulary errors, and etc. with the knowledge that I know now? It’ll be a lot easier to write such essays for those colleges that I want to attend in the future.
