Reflection

  • Reflection



  • Has your approach to writing changed during this course? Yes .How? My first approach to writing was free writing not really using any commas conjunctions or complete sentences. Now that I know how to identify these products I can use them properly to write an essay for future references. 

  • Have your attitudes toward brainstorming, drafting, writing, revising, editing, peer reviewing changed during this course? Yes. How? I was unsure how I prefer'd to brainstorm the best way for me is to just jot down the ideas that come into my mind on paper. Writing has become easier using outlines to structure my paragraphs before I would just write everything into one space as one long paragraph.Revising has also become easier finding not only my mistakes but others as well. Editing and Peer Reviewing have become essential for papers because it helps to form your paper they way you want it before meaning a few years ago I didn't edit much or have classmates look at my work.  

  • How do you feel you performed in this class? I performed mediocre I think if I had put more time and efforts into my papers and assignments I would have done better.
  • What would you do differently if you took this class again? I would would actually take the time my teacher gives me to evaluate the assignment do the requirements that need to be met for a better score.How you learn also differs from how a subject is taught to you it's very important to know how you learn in order to succeed in your classroom.

Advice to incoming students



Advice to Incoming students


The advice I would give to incoming students would be to share with them  how they can use their resources on campus such as tutors work opportunities and staying focused and on task with their homework because a lot of people drop their class before it ends and have to retake it the next semester because the student did not do their work. I wish I had known to actually put all of my effort into all of my work all of the time because all of the points and work counts. College is an journey and a great experience. New supplies, new clothes, new start. Freshman year is a chance to redefine yourself, to challenge assumptions, to lay the foundation for the rest of your life. Gee whiz, you say, I’m just 18! So we asked for help, from those who have been there, done that. Below are words of wisdom from 25 upperclassmen and recent grads. See the comments section for additional reader submissions. Outline all your papers, and footnote everything. Even if you don’t “do outlines” or think they are a total waste of time, a quick overview of how the paper will be organized will help you loads in the long run. If you find yourself with a half-eaten pizza at 2 in the morning the day the paper is due (with no paper), hey, at least you have an outline. — Casey Chon, Hampshire College, ’18.Don’t compare yourself to other students. It is easy to feel lost, especially when it comes to academics. Remember that everyone has unique talents, and you have four years to cultivate yours. Shivani Dixit, University of Chicago, ’17. In conclusion be yourself have confiedence you do not need to know everything about college but use your resources as you go along the college journey stay on task.

Honesty is important to me because if you're not trustworthy you're not worth the time. honesty is one of the more important values because it shows how much you're respect and meaning you give someone.
