Reflection
Throughout the semester I have received some very good feedback on all my work and assignments. One of the main things I decided to focus on this year, after writing about it in the first assignment we did regarding mistakes we’ve made in the past, is run on sentences. I really get carried away in my writing but this year if a sentence seemed too long i would just break it up into multiple smaller sentences. Another thing that I have focused on is, when presenting I typically talk very fast and don’t make much eye contact with the audience. But after out first presentation this year and getting that as feedback, i’ve really been focusing on improving those skills while presenting. More improvements that I have made throughout this semester are quote integrations. We really focused on it while doing our essays which has made every other assignment that we did a lot easier when we were adding quotations. All of the feedback I got this year will continue to help me in the future just like my feedback from the past has, as shown in my first assignment about how i will improve this year based on past feedback. Peer editing was also very important in my writing since i got feedback from actual peers that were doing the same assignment as me. When doing my essay a lot of my peer editing feedback was about using pronouns, helping to make everything flow easier, and mostly just formal writing. This will help me in the future since i will now hopefully remember the different parts that make a writing piece not formal and will not use them at all. A lot of this feedback will definitely be helpful in my future writing pieces.
