Reflecting More on My Writing Experiences

Below I will be reflecting on the past semester as a whole in English 109h

1. What were the biggest challenges you faced this semester, overall?

- The biggest challenge for me this semester was adjusting to a new type of writing style. In the past all I was taught was a more formal style of writing. Where as in 109h this semester I was introduced to more formal article and less formal writing styles.

2. What did you learn this semester about your own time management, writing and editorial skills?
-This semester I learned how to manage how much writing to do at a time as to keep a more focused mindset for my writing. As for my writing and editorial skills, they have, in my opinion, improved over the course of the semester. My writing skills more than my editorial, however.

3. What do you know about the concept of 'genre'? Explain how understanding this concept is central to being a more effective writer.
-Genre, in the context of writing, is the specific style of writing. Understadning the difference between genre and theme is important. As a theme is more related to what kind of story/idea will be displayed, a genre will be the form in which the theme is related.

4. What skills from this course might you use and/or develop further in the next few years of college coursework?
-Understanding the different rhetorial and analytical strategies will help me analyze contracts and deals in my future after collge. In college, I will be able to go beyond the printed word.

5. What was your most effective moment from this semester in 109H?
-My most effective moment this semester was most likely during group work during class when i was able to discuss different ideas and point of views on whatever we were discussing.

6. What was your least effective moment from this semester in 109H?
- My least effective moment this semester was, in my opinion, my first project.  I feel that I slacked off too much on that paper and didn't work to my full potential.
