Final Reflection


In my thinking, I have studied a lot of in Writing 5 such as how to write Compare and Contrast, Cause and Effect, and Argument Essay. Moreover, I know how to write direct quotes and paraphrased in each essay. Especially, I also know write counterargument and refutation paragraph. I think in English 1301, I have to spend more time to search information and use it like evidence to make my points are stronger. In addition, my grammar errors such as fragments, run-on, subject and verb decrease than before. The new methods that I enhance by using conjunctions when we have the same subject or different subjects. I think the most important things that I learned writing essay logically without fewer mistakes because I can use the different type of essay to write my reports of other classes for next semester. After taking the writing class in this semester, I can recognize a type of prompts and give suitable decisions in order to write a good essay. However, I think I have to study more hard, I will use some skills which I get from my professor to keep going on improving my writing skill. I should spend more time to read other essays and practice them by writing as I can. As you know, writing plays very important roles in our students’ lives. Students have to study English, and they have to write many different essays to submit their homework. Therefore, writing is necessary for students, and I think I have to try my best to improve my writing. Anyway, Thanks to Bonnie, our class have a lot of knowledge, and funny and meaningful activities. Best wishes for Bonnie and your family, and all my classmates.
Happy Christmas Day !

Experience in Writing Center

In my opinion, I like both face to face and online tutor. Both of them are good, but I prefer face to face. Because if I take face to face tutor, I will know how does my essay. Moreover, my time will be flexible as well as I can make an appointment depends on my time, and I can ask directly tutor about either topics or problems which I do not really understand or which is the best solution I should put some information in my essay. However, the distance from my house to school is a master. In the other hand, if I used an online tutor, I can stay at home and sent email for tutor help me to correct my essay. Unlike, If the deadline near the holidays and the tutor cannot read it. It means I have a lot of troubles in my essay. Therefore, using both two methods are good for students because I have many changes to corrects my essays’ mistakes. In the future, I will use writing center to help me correct my essay and applying both methods in order to achieve my goals. Writing center is really helpful for students in general and me in particular. I think I should study hard about how to write an essay without the mistake of word choices, grammar, and functions.
