Reflection of the semester

1) What skills have you learned in this class and how might you apply whem to writing in your career or future college courses? The skills that I have learned in this class is to make my paragraphs flow transition better, how to think about reading in an analytical way, how to write about a text without summarizing it, and punctuation. Learning these techniques will help me in future jobs; I am working on becoming a nurse and they write a lot of note. 2) How have the readings in this class affected you? The readings in this class affected me by making me aware of how much meth can destroy a whole family, it made me feel sad for Ree in the "Winter's Bone" book. The other story that gave me a strong sad feeling was "Bartleby The Scrivener," which it seemed the person just gave up on life. 3) How have you met the learning outcomes in this class? How Ive met the learning outcomes in this class is by identifying and evaluating multiple meanings,documenting information, interpreting and analyzing texts, evaluating peer writing,oranization, and learning new methods to apply voice to my writing. 4) How has your writing or writing process changed? I have changed my writing process by being more organized, I learned how to cite, I learned how to think and write in an analytical way ( being more of a critic). 5) What were your challanges in the class? How were you able to overcome them? I would say my biggest challenge in this class was to try not to summarize. I had to put my mind into thinking about the bigger picture ( who is this person? what are they trying to say?) I would start writing and automatically summarize; I had to stop, reread what I have written and think about the deeper meaning.
