From the beginning, the essay lacked proper MLA formatting, a creative title, double spaces, and the opening was a poor choice for a hook as it failed to be relevant to the entirety of the essay as it was misleading. The sentences were poor in grammar, spelling, punctuation, structure, and relevance as there were plenty of unnecessary wording that did not lead to any solid arguments for the reader to follow up on such as bringing up the internet and space travel. Essays need to be professional, but the student that wrote this used “I” in their paragraphs which made it informal and failed to correct the run on sentences, and overuse of commas. An essay is an attempt to bring in a concept, topic or theme as the truth, but this essay asks multiple
Chapter one, entitled "The College Essay Is an Argument", in "The Humble Argument" by Roy K. Humble states: that a proper college essay should be a cohesive, easy to understand dialog of contrasting views, that begins with a simple yet important question, and collection of evidence; then ends with a well thought out answer based on said evidence concluding with the student writer's personal thoughts and feeling about the question, the evidence, and the answer. Roy K. Humble concludes that if a student writer takes these necessary steps as part of their writing process they will most assuredly have written a complete argument, a true College
In the first draft the author jumps right to the thesis statement and the publisher’s purpose. He does not have a clear introduction because it was missing an attention getter. The author started talking what the essay was going to be about, and for me it was just like the author didn’t want to spend more time working on the introduction. The author had some problems with sentence structure, moreover, I think that the author wanted to be more specific about what he/ she was talking about that sometimes he/she confused himself.
Since this was a timed essay I made a lot of mistakes, and it was also very difficult to revise
The author has a knack for writing and storytelling. I thought the essay was very interesting and informative. I think the author showed a talent for writing. It was easy to read, and flowed really nicely.
Essay 1 must be executed in a particular way. MLA format is one example that should be used in Essay 1, thus depicts how the paper will look. Moreover, it must reach a minimum length of two pages and six hundred words. The essay must include at least 5 paragraphs with 3 or more being the detailed body paragraphs. Equally important, the introductory paragraph needs an underlined, well-written thesis.
The main reason I chose to write this essay, besides the fact that it's 35% of my overall quarter grade and without it I would be academically ineligible, is the simple fact that I thought it would be ironic and humorous to write an essay/research paper based on how much I really didn't want to write this paper. In hindsight I also may have been a tad bit curious to how much teacher involvement is reflective of effort perpetuated by students in addition to the rapidly increasing lack of motivation and care with minor assignments. It's actually kind of funny how much effort is shown by a majority of students when an essay is worth over a third of your grade. I can't tell you how many tweets have gone out expressing increasing stress and desperation
Therefore, I took the extra step and asked Professor Short to go over my paper and see any mistakes I made or anything I can add. She told me it was good and told me all I had to do was read over it and look for any grammar mistakes. I was given a 49 forty-nine out of fifty on this essay I am glad I did not take my peer’s advice an add more detail because I feel like too much detail would be too much and would
However, this carefully calculated framework never yielded an essay worth sharing. Mostly, I just stared at a blank word document, proving definitively that college essays do not write themselves. I understand that the purpose of a college essay is to describe yourself to the reader. But, none of the ideas I brainstormed seemed to capture me genuinely. Sure, it is true that I am quite possibly the only person alive with the name Bradley Posdal, but how does this communicate my individuality?

In this essay I will review how I have improved as a writer, my greatest challenges, and how has my writing changed from how it was at the start of class to now. Reflection is a powerful thing, I can still remember how it felt being asked to write an essay on my first day of class. I was so scared, would I be able to use correct punctuation and how bad will it affect my grade if I am not? I was so excited when the professor said it was just to see that we can write conformed sentences not to critique our grammar and punctuation.

ENG-122 Reflective Essay My writing process has changed tremendously over the course of this class. I feel more accomplished, confident and I feel sometimes that my ideas and thoughts just come in to my mind out of nowhere and I start writing about anything now. I pay attention to my punctuation and grammar more as I have polished them more now, not only when I write but then others write as well. I am constantly looking for errors and I highly think this is helping me a lot in my career.
My expectations coming into the course were high and remained high throughout the duration of the course. The essays I wrote in the class really challenged me to progress in my writing skills.
