Improving Aspects in My Writing Thanks to My English Course

This English course was a vastly informative class. We covered lots of criteria material and discussed topics during class. During the course, I have accomplish a variety of goals I once thought were unachievable. I still have a little ways to go to become the best writer I can be but by taking this course I have been able to expand and learn as a writer, editor, and analyzer of my work, peers work, and academic work. I have learned from others as others have learned from me. I have tried to improve particular aspects of my writing but continue to struggle with other aspects. I have found new strategies and breakthroughs that have allowed me to improve my essays. However, I am still learning how to write and believe that I always shall†¦show more content†¦This is often because I never have a clear idea about what I am writing about and how I should begin to write I, but throughout the course I learned a few techniques to diminish my procrastination. A technique that I use is to sit down for twenty minutes and write non-stop about the topic I am focusing in other words called free writing. Additionally to that I also try not to focus on grammar or sentence structure and try not to censor my thoughts in any way. I write my essay without attempting to going back to revise it when I haven’t even got a paragraph. These techniques have really helped me procrastinate less. In the beginning of the course it would take me hours to write a two-page paper, but by using those techniques I have improved and now I am able to write a two-page paper in fewer time. At the other hand, the English class has helped me build my personal assurance to reveal myself or perhaps expressed myself with words; that have been particularly fascinating personally. Ive found delight in written essays. For me to get to that point it took me practice. With my first essay, â€Å"Love and Gold†, my professor had a conference with me to discuss about my essay. The professor and I went over it and I observed countless words were not written correctly. I perceived that some sentences did not make any sense. This an attribute to the lack of not proofreading my essays or not correctly proofreading. After my first essay, IShow MoreRelatedMy Strengths And Weaknesses Of My Writing977 Words   |  4 Pagesyour closet and found many items you never knew you owned?

I did not think I would ever really need to use what I would acquire from such a course. When I came to Montgomery College and I was going to take the course English 101, my expectations were that I would have no difficulty scoring good grades in the course and I would learn nothing really helpful from it.

If you were to ask me to write a paper I guarantee you it won’t get done and if it does it’s not good. As you can tell I don’t have a passion for writing and unfortunately for me, it’s required to write a long essay for school English courses. Now you can imagine how difficult that must be for me if you’re in the same b oat as I am.
