Writing for College Success
Reflective Essay
My writing skills over the course of my first college semester have greatly improved. The way I’ve noted my improvement is that in each essay that I submitted and met with my professor I was able to get positive feedback. By applying the positive feedback to my future essays to come I was also able to correct common mistakes I would make constantly. Reading the book we were assigned to purchase also helped me have a more in depth look at writing skills I could apply to my own.
The writing skills I came into the class with have changed for the better. I always was seeking room for improvement and different ways to enhance my writing skills. The use of having different peers in my class to help me allowed me to get a different perspective of my writing. What I see is totally different from what they would see in my essay. I used this to my advantage in which I was also able to learn from them too. Meetings with the professor also aided me in having a better approach at essays that I didn’t know about prior.
To conclude I would say that through the constant use of the professor, peers in class, and the assigned book I was able to enhance my writing skills for the better. I’ve learned different skills to help my future essays and have also found new approaches. These skills will definitely impact me in the long run.
