Assignment task: Introspection is valuable in developing ourselves, but we cannot discount the value of learning from those around us.
- Comment on what aspects of that person's experience were instructive or helpful for you. How did the person help you think about things in a different way?
Over this course I identified two big issues I had. Grammar and The formatting of sources. The reason I struggled with grammar was simply because. I would speed through text and miss sentences that were missing proper coherence and proper use of words. As for formatting sources, I struggled to find sources to support my thesis of the Federal reserve. As well as properly putting them into my text. The way I would fix these two issues for the future will be: slow down and proof read, identify if each sentence is readable, Use more news based articles to support thesis's on government related topics, and let them flow into my paragraphs instead of forcing them.
I would say my attitude towards writing has changed in the way I feel more equipped for essays. Along with the process we used to build up to our drafts helped prep for them. I have no doubt this is a good process and i will use it for the future. It allows writers to get sources, develop ideas, and ask questions themselves about their topic. Which I feel was very helpful to me.
Compared to my goes from week one, I believe it did help in getting closer to achieving these goals. Which were: become a more professional writer and corrections on grammar. I will also say it has my eyes on more goals. Such as increase on how much I write and a more in depth pre-planning before I write.
