First Quarter Experience

WRIT 101 has been interesting so far. There have been some days filled with complete chaos, other days spent solely on working, and other days spent simply goofing off. In the past few weeks our class has written 4 papers, learned about commas, spent an entire week on citations, and learned ways how to become better writers.

The papers we've written have each shown ourselves a bit about who we are as people, and how we are individually as writers. In each of the papers I've written, I've found specific strengths and weaknesses that have helped to increase my writing ability. One of these strengths is my ability to reword things so that I don't end up using weasel words and I can paraphrase easily in research papers. However one weakness I've found is my conclusion....I can start and get through papers fairly well. However, the conclusions always seem to be a redundant mess. Luckily with the help of other classmates in our peer editting groups I am able to fix that and many of my other errors made.

I have enjoyed this class so far. It is at a pace that is comfortable yet keeps me busy. I hope it continues this way for the remainder of the year.
