Introduction
Throughout this course there are a lot of things that I’ve done well and not many things that I have struggled with. There were few to close to not any things that I struggled with when it came to this course. The first thing that I struggled with is keeping up to date with assignments, there was always something due everyday before we got the class at 8 in the morning. I am use to everything being due at midnight and not that early in the day. The other thing that I struggled with is and was the Multimodal project, this project is different from anything else I have ever done before and is something new. It is just different and that is why I am struggling with it. These issues were challenging to me only because it was something that I was use to very much and was something that was new. This course has impacted the quality of my writing a lot as I am writing way more than I am use to. I am use to writing something that is due every other week but with this course something is always due which improved my writing skills. What I will do to work on these issues is to try and do one of these projects like the multimodal on my own just so I can get use to doing them and get a better feel for them. My writing skills as a whole as improved as in the quality and the quantity of my writing. The strengths that I have as a writer is the ability to keep writing and the ability to stretch wording to make my pages longer. My biggest strength when it comes to writing is my imaginations, it is big to have a big imagination as it is hard to write without one. These strengths have been shown in this class when it comes to long papers that require 6 pages or 8 to 10 pages and the ability to meet the requirements.
Rhetorical Analysis
What I learned from the rhetorical analysis is that it is when the reader analyzes a text and breaks it down describing everything in it. This is different from other forms of writing as it is a more intense more detailed summary. The writer of the rhetorical analysis has to break down the text deeply by explaining what the text is about, the reason for writing the text and the audience to who the writer was writing the text for. Analysis plays a big role when it comes to other types of essays in college as when you are writing an essay with is mostly going to be about a text so you have to break it down in order to get a decent grade. There wasn’t anything that I struggled with when it came to the rhetorical analysis. The one big thing that was done well when it came to the rhetorical analysis was breaking down the text good and describing the text almost as if I were the one who wrote.
Exploratory Essay
What I learned from the Exploratory essay is that when I am exploring careers in the future what all I need to do when it comes to doing background checks. It also taught me a lot about the profession that I want to go in which is something that has to with law enforcement. Exploratory essay is different from other forms of writing as the writer themselves chooses what they want to write based off themselves. Then the writer researches what they want to write about and writes about it. It was very difficult not to take a position on the topic as I was the one who chose the topic. It was very hard to do; it is like asking a person what they want for breakfast and then asking the person did they like what they choices was for breakfast. It is difficult for the person to say they don’t like the choices if they were the ones who picked what the options was. I really don’t know what function exploration plays in other essay’s in college other than one must be open to different ideas. The only thing that one can benefit from exploration is how to not pick a side when it comes to writing a piece of writing that requires one not to pick a side. The one thing that I did struggle with that I think most other people struggled with was not picking a side or not being biased when it came to write an exploratory piece. The thing that I did well was following the directions and not picking a side which was the difficult thing to do. That and being able to pick a topic which was able to go the length with the page requirement.
Research Essay
What I learned from the research essay was that if there is a topic that one is researching not only is it good to have 3 main argument but it is good to have a response for what counterarguments one might have for your main arguments. This is different from other forms of writing like the exploratory essay as you are picking a side. You are picking a side and sticking to it and answer questions to what the counter arguments to the side that you are picking. It was not very difficult to find information on the topic that I chose as my topic was a very conservatory topic that is very relevant over the past couple of decades and has a lot of information and stances to it. The function that research plays in other types of essays in college is a hugh role as in college one is going to have to write a piece. When writing that piece not only do you have to stick to the stance that you are taking or stick to the point that you are writing but you have to convince whoever is reading it to take that stance as well. I did not struggle with anything when it came to the research essay other than not having my essay peer reviewed and having to do that myself. That things that I did very well was everything when it came to this assignment.
Multimodal Project
What I learned from the multimodal project is that is basically a visual to a research essay. It a visual that is a few to close to no words written. More of a visual demonstration. It is different from other forms of writing as it doesn’t have written words like your usual written piece. It wasn’t very difficult to find media to use as again my topic is a very relevant issue in today’s time. What I struggled with is how to do the voice over and make it present by itself. What I did well was finding the media and images to use for this presentation.
Conclusion
After completing this course what I wished I had done different was keeping up with my assignments at the beginning of the course and coming to class more consistent. After completing this course the thing that I am most proud of is my improvement throughout the course and it preceded through the semester. After this course these assignments reflects a lot of what I will face outside this course as during this course I faced almost all the types of writing that is important in future for time to come and for me to pass other courses. I will apply all this knowledge a lot for all my future classes when it comes to writing pieces as I have ideas to what to follow in my head and on what pattern to take to writing. For someone who is taking this course in the future my one advice to them would be to keep up with the assignments, follow the directions and ask questions when confused. I say this because all these steps help me become successful in this course.
