After taking English 101 and English 102 with professors Mark Haunschild and David
Moody, my perspective on writing has changed significantly. My writing skills have improved
and I have overall become more aware of different writing techniques. I started noticing different
writing styles when I read, as well as I became a more efficient writer in other classes as well. In
addition, taking this writing class has made me more well spoken as well as a better reader. I
My understanding of writing is that it is a way to really get any thoughts one might have
out for others to see. From fiction, to research projects I believe that writing is a crucial part of
any individual’s personal and professional life. Especially today due to the digital world and how
information can be found and produced on the internet for anybody to find and learn and interact
with. With social media, writing has become a huge part of interpersonal communication
between friends and colleagues working together alike. I believe that writing is now the most
important it has ever been due to the fact that in order to successfully communicate with each
other through social media, one has to be careful in producing the right tone in their writing. To
other concepts. Also, writing to me means being able to successfully share my thoughts and
ideas with others without any unnecessary confusion. My belief is that as long as everything is
described well enough for the appropriate audience, there should not be any misunderstandings
communication classes in the future. This class has taught me how to use databases available to
me in the most efficient manner possible, as well as how to successfully share my findings with
my peers. I have learned how to interact with other people’s research in my writing by providing
my own opinions or explanations on relevant issues. For example, the third writing project as by
far my favorite assignment all semester in any of my classes. After deciding on a topic I was
passionate about, I spent weeks researching new information and then writing an essay in order
to persuade my audience.
Before taking this course, I never really put much thought into writing and what exactly it
entails. I had taken honors English classes throughout my time in high school, however, they
consisted mostly of reading and worksheets rather than just practicing writing and learning about
different writing techniques. I found the textbooks we read during this course to be a very helpful
guide in improving my writing. I have learned how to analyze other people’s writing in order to
Peer review played a huge role in my understanding of writing, as it has shown me the
way others write. Most importantly, peer review has shown me different reasons one might have
for writing. For example, reviewing my classmate’s work has shown me that some people prefer
writing in first person and relating their new knowledge to their lives and their own previous
experiences, while some of the classmate’s essays I reviewed were third person and in no way
related to the writer’s personal life and focused mostly on the content in relation to the academic
world. Additionally, peer review has opened up my perspective to different writing techniques,
as well as various different mistakes that people make. It has made me aware of my own
strengths and weaknesses in terms of writing, as well as shown me areas in which I need to
The relationship I have with the understanding of writing currently and the things I
believe I still need to learn can be described as hopeful. Looking back at all the writing projects I
have completed during this school year, I am very grateful for my improvement as a writer. I
believe that I improve with every essay I write, practice makes perfect, afterall. I hope to
continue evolving as a writer, so when I graduate college and start to actually participate in
conducting research studies, I am able to successfully share my findings with the audience. I am
excited to see where my journey as a writer takes me in both my personal life and my career.
I believe that my understanding of writing will play a huge role in my life moving
forward. I believe that writing helps expand my mind in a way that it was not able to before. I
find that when I write about new information that I have learned, I understand it better as it
causes me to think more critically about it. I have found that writing about concepts that are hard
for me has made me comprehend them better and be more successful in applying them to various
situations. Becoming a better writer has also improved my speaking skills. I find that upon
completing this course, I have been able to talk about my ideas more clearly and concisely. I find
that now people understand me easier, as well as ask for explanations less. I fully credit this class
for a successful speech I gave a couple of days ago, as I was able to clearly put my ideas in front
of my audience.
In conclusion, I believe that this class has improved my personal life as well as my
academic life. I have been able to communicate more clearly as well as understand the material i
