Reflecting More on My Writing Experience

This blog post contains further reflection on my experience and process throughout English 109h.

Oh, Mathias. "Cutest Dog Ever pt. 2." 11/28/15 via Photos


1. Initially the biggest challenge I had was making sure I satisfied requirements, especially small things. Getting the process of blogging down was initially a struggle, but this became second nature as the semester kept going.

2. Most of the time management I learned was just good habits. Getting into a routine that balanced school and athletics was key, and I feel I did that. Writing wise, I learned a lot about drafting and revision, as well as process work towards larger projects that helped me tackle large assignments piece by piece.

3. Genre is the style/format that shapes a project. Learning about genre, and how to most effectively use genres, has been one of the most important ideas in this class. First, using your genre to reach your intended audience is very important, and second, making sure your work follows the conventions of a genre precisely will help make your writing and communication more effective.

4. One of the most important skills I learned that I will definitely use in future is how to carefully consider an audience, and how to plan to effectively communicate with them.

5. I think (for the most part) class time was extremely effective for me personally, and I feel I learned a lot in the classroom.

6. I think the least effective portion was some of the blogging, for example the punctuation revision, which seemed a little bit like busy work.
