Writing Reflection One
A lot has happened over the course of the first semester at Old Dominion University. This is especially true for my University one-fifty class. After the first semester I have realized that I have grown a lot as a writer. I have improved on many things and I still have things that I need to improve on.
On the first day of class I believed I was a terrible writer but after I was handed back essay one I realized I have grown a lot. In high school I found myself having trouble with the Thesis statement and having flow with my essays. I would always have spots in paper that would clutter up the flow but, I did not find that in essay one. Also I have found that I have improved in supporting details for my essay because, I used to run out of things by the end.
However even though I have improved I still have some problems that need to be fixed. Commas still tend to be a problem when I write papers. Sometimes I put them in the wrong place or do not put them in at all. Also I tend to have a major issue with time in writing, I tend to shift from past to present tense mid sentence. In fact in essay one I had five different mistakes where I shifted from past to present tense. This issue is in fact my biggest problem when I write. This problem is probably due to me not paying attention to the words and tense I am using when I write.
Finally, after the first semester in University one-fifty I have grown a lot in flow and support for my essay but, I still have problems with time and commas that need to be fixed.
