Reflection
Through the course of this class, I have learned alot about developing ideas and forming papers with those ideas. I have a problem with staying on topic and keeping my paper cohesive. By writing the many drafts we did, I was able to watch my paper develop into something really well written, at least for me.
While I was reading over my previous papers to revise them for my final copies I noticed that I jump around alot, and I don't stay on board with the whole "academic paper" idea. My favorite paper to write was the one about this blog. It was a topic that I got to pick, and because of that I feel that I put my best effort into it. I feel that it was my best paper and I feel very good about submitting it to Dr. Micer.
The things I learned in this class, like developing an effective thesis, using better transitions, and constantly developing my ideas, I will be able to take to my other classes to write research papers.
I think my strength in writing is my pathos, I show alot of emotion, sometimes too much for academic papers, but I like to be able to relate to my readers through pathos more than find definitive facts.
I enjoyed this class because there's alot of room for your mind to explore when writing. The prompts are specific yet vague enough to develop your own ideas. I don't like being told exactly what to write and how to write it. I also like being able to work at your own pace. I'm a slow writer and it takes a long time for me to develop a good paper. Working on the blog and then the outline broke up the long research paper so when it came time for actually writing, it all just came together.
I think this is a great class, and it showed me that writing papers doesn't have to be so stressful and there's many methods to get to the final outcome. Thank you Dr. Micer.
