Final Reflection Of My Writing Class

Final Reflection Over the course of the semester, I was challenged in different ways regarding my writing skills, group work, and ability to take constructive criticism.

Overall I enjoyed this class and it was always a nice break from the regular day, and being in such a small and close environment, helped me create constructive working relationships with my fellow classmates quite successfully. A big issue in my writing initially before this class was my organization. I had a tough time constructing my essays in a way that sounded overall organized, and had a consistent flow to it. My writing process before this class usually consisted of me trying to make an outline, then just type out whatever pops into my head.

Multiple times you pointed out that you were not pointing out all of the grammatical mistakes I was making, and I struggled to look over and recognize exactly what I was missing. A solution that I found helped this problem of mine, was reading out loud instead of in my head when going over edits.

While I find that I generally improved this weaker area of my writing, I still definitely need to focus on it more and find other ways to catch myself making these grammatical
