Reflective Essay Writing

904 Words4 Pages

Writing is one of the things I used to hate the most. As a student of Advanced Program, I have attended the course CO150 College Composition A30 in Fall 2016 for two months already. Through the course, I have done three assignments and these helps me to perfect my skills and I might even say – to form some kind of academic writing styles.
To start with, I have come up to the task requirements. The writings are written summarize opinions on women’s rights or to present my ideas on the topic of unequal payment, “a matter of great concern” to the whole society. In addition, I have been accustomed to the MLA format. The format with 12 pt. Times New Roman and double-spaced complement the content and aid the reader’s attention. I feel confident that I could write a paper about most anything and know how to cite and format it properly. Improvements have been observed such as the using of hanging indents, the complete and accurate citations of sources used and centered title of the work.

The word “gender equality” is echoed in the passage to imprint on the reader’s mind about the topic. On the other hand, the rephrase is gradually enhanced as I find the website thesaurus. com.

    I have grown as an academic student in college and career readiness, as displayed through my English 101 class. This was my third college class on the campus of Los Angeles Mission College, so I thought I was prepared and ready.

  • Reflective Essay: My Personal Writing Style

    Jesika Anderson WR 121 My personal writing style is generally very casual; my brainstorming process really only includes getting any ideas (if any) I need to further a topic or to flesh it out beyond what it began as.

I write, and then edit the process from there, going through two or three edits before a final piece is produced. Research happens while I write or while I brainstorm. Either because I need to confirm the idea is interesting during brainstorming or I need to confirm/cite during writing.

There were girls from every part of the state, ones from urban, suburban, and rural settings.
