I do not feel that I have improved in my writing skills. I have gotten a better understanding of what it is to be a good writer but I have not improved my writing skills. I have decreased in the time it would take me to write the required amount and I have managed to elongate my writing. I can write a 500 – 600 word paper in two hours. But I can not properly revise that paper. Neither can I tell you where commas go and why they are to be placed there. Nor, how to properly use semi colons. I still do not understand what a prepositional phrase is or how to use it properly. I do not fully understand what FANBOYS are. I do not know how to properly identify pronouns and antecedent.But I do know the basics of writing when to use periods, quotation marks, exclamation points, and question marks.I can avoid shifting in time and person and using misspelled words. I can properly identify simple, complex, compound and compound-complex sentences But I do not know how to form them when writing. I am often repetitive in my writing as I have always been. I do not provide much variety in my paper. I have never been able to do the things that I said I can’t do in this paragraph These are things that I have been taught for the past 4 years. I still do not fully understand them. So I do not feel I have improved as a writer. I do not feel I will ever improve as a writer until I know these things. Until then I will do whatever needed to get a passing grade so that I may move on with my academic career. Even as I write this paragraph if I was asked to identify my mistakes I would not be able to. I will probably never live up to my full writing potential and I am fine with that.
