Semester Reflection

Over the past semester, for the most part I am really satisfied with the work I have produced; mainly the essays which I have written. Some parts that I wish I would have taken more time on are the creative pieces like Activity II. I feel when it comes to writing essays though; I take pride in my compositions. Before COMP 106 I would never like anyone to read my papers because I didn’t feel like they were worthy of representing me. Though the work I have produced over the past semester I am very proud of. Of course, as I look back at the pieces I put out I find that there is still many things I can revise, but isn’t that what it always is, a composition is never perfect; there are always changes to be made. The one piece that I would really like to revise is the reflection of my Module I visual advocacy project, I read the directions completely wrong and it hurt my grade quite much. The actual project I produced was good, but the reflection was my biggest shortcoming. I wish I could go back and re-do the whole piece. Another piece which I would love to revise is the Module III article summaries. I would like to organize my ideas better, and correct many things to make the paper more fluent. I feel like I could do a much better job in that. My favorite assignment was the Module II, where we created an experiment, wrote an essay, and created questions. I liked how there were 3 parts to it, and I feel like I did a great job writing the paper. Overall, this has been my favorite English class, and the one I feel I have done the best in. I feel Professor Yerks did an adequate job telling me what my shortcomings are, and her advice was very helpful. Not to mention she gave me great compliments which were major confidence boosters. As for this blog, I’ll be honest I’ve never been much of a person to keep a journal, let alone a public journal. Perhaps I shall use this as an outlet when I want to express anger, or something that just rattles my cage. As for things more personal, I will keep to myself.
