UNIV150
The first six weeks of UNIV 150 have been very helpful for my growth in writing. This class allowed me to improve my writings to the college level. The two things that helped my growth in writing was identifying my strengths and weaknesses, and ways to improve my weaknesses.
The first way this class helped me grow in my writing was identifying my strengths and weaknesses. After writing two essays and getting feedback from them. One of the strengths that I notice in my essays was conventions. Conventions are the small things in essay like spelling, grammar, and grammar. These little things help make the essay easy to follow and to understand. Another strength that I notice in my writing was that I was able to clearly state my purpose. One big weakness I have had was with clarity and syntax. My main problem with this is comma splices or fragments. Therefore, knowing my strengths and weakness in writing allows me to work better on my weaknesses.
The second way this class helped me in my growth was improving on my weaknesses. By figuring out my weaknesses it allowed me to improve on them and make my papers better. My weakness being with comma splices and fragments allowed me to find ways to improve. The way I have improved in these by re-reading my papers and seeing if there is comma splitting two incomplete thoughts, or seeing if there are sentences that are not a complete thought by themself. Therefore, seeing my weaknesses allowed me to be aware of the mistakes I make, and to go back and see if I have the same mistakes in my future writings.
So in conclusion, I will say that UNIV 150 has improved my writing skills. It has helped me identify my strengths and weakness in my writing. Then helped me improve my writing by learning how to work on my weaknesses. With these two things helping me to improve my writing, it has allowed the transition into college to be more comfortable, because I know my writings will be clear and easy to understand.
