Though I know there are still some mistakes in my final draft I feel good about them typically. Another point in my writing that I need to focus on is, putting all my arguments into my paper. I always write down good examples or facts but, sometimes leave extra details that would enhance the body and meanings of my papers. What I do well in is going back to revise and putting the key details into my paper and making the paper stronger. Overall my experience in English 0099 has strengthened my writing capabilities.
Also does not participate in class is something I've done wrong because this helps you a lot to get a good grade. In short, things I did wrong in the ESL 103/104 class have had their consequences because they all affect a bit of my grade. Also thanks to this class I have improved my skills in my English. First I have learned many vocabulary words that I never before had seen. Also thanks to the novel I had read I improved a lot my reading.
Don’t lose my audience. d. I didn’t clearly cite my research sources although I wrote them all in my outline. e. I paused quite a long time when I was listing examples to support my first main point, and instead of trying to recall it by myself, I was busy trying to find hint from my note card and became flurried when I didn’t find it. f. Structuring my speech is my headache: transition need to be improved to better relate my main points, and part of reason that my speech wasn’t so easy to follow was due to improper transition. g. My notes didn’t effectively support me while speaking because I always wanted to refer to my notes even though I knew what to talk next.
in WikiAnswers.com) I am a computer science major and have to deal with logical statements a lot. I have always seen that implementing what is written in the book is sure rite but if I experiment my own ideas I turn out to be a better coder. We were given an assignment last semester about writing a program to search a phonebook for an individual’s phone number. Sure we had an exact same example in the book and surely everyone followed the directions in the book and scored well in the assignment. But I had to implement my own thoughts in the assignment I tried new things and saw how they worked out for me and made a totally different program for what was in the textbook.
I have more of a respect for “Jon Krakhauer” than I did when I first read this story. His attention to detail is a good thing where as I saw it as a bad thing. I need to use more large words and add more stories to my essays so as a writer I respect him and can see that he is a good writer. After writing my own essays, I can see now that it is not easy but to put, as much detail as he did into his essay would be a truly difficult thing for me. Also using many large words in the way that he did to support his ideas, and make his points is not easy.
And although writing is hard because there are thousands of rules to follow, we are encouraged to set aside those so-called rules, write rhetorically, make a breakthrough and try something new. To me, the most useful “metaphoric musing” is the “use your higher brain” one. Writing last-minute essay and mind going blank are just my stories. Under such stressful situation, I can’t write anything that really represents
Plus before taking COMM 150 I took ENG 101, so I was already a head of the game going into COMM 150. Yes I do feel after taking COMM 150 that have the appropriate research sources, since ONET was very useful in researching the finer points of my career. The way it influenced my evaluation of the four information sources I used to cite my professional plan assignment was that it made the research easier to retrieve, so I spent less time on looking up sources so I had more time to type up a well written paper to hand in. I would like to have more sources for future papers so that I can get more point of views on my career choice. Having more research sources will also make me more satisfied with my work, and I will not stress whether the paper if up to my standards as well as the
I also like that you can highlight and move sentences and paragraphs in a way that you cannot do on paper. The downside to becoming so used to the computer working for you is when the computer misses your mistakes. The word processing software is not perfect and often misses mistakes that we over look and assume have been corrected. Another problem is when you are writing on paper and use improper grammar and misspell words there is nothing there to remind you of your mistakes but yourself. Whenever I write by hand I have to think a lot harder about how to spell certain words.
My second issue would be my ability to proofread. I always miss something when I proof read, once my other half reads it, he finds it right away, but I just cannot see all of my own errors. I would say my third problem is tone. Sometimes I am not sure which tone to use and if it is being conveyed correctly. I plan to work on all of these things, I am sure this class will help me learn all the skills needed to make my papers better.
Ever since I have taken a higher English class such as AP it became more challenging for me. As such the class need good writing skill beyond my capabilities, and causes me to struggle once again. Despite the setback, I shall not give up on such an issue; I definitely make my writing skill become better. Therefore I begin write to the best of my abilities and often ask other people around to help peer editing my essay. After many try of writing an essay, I got better understanding of what to fix when write and quickly know to make my own sentence sound best.
