Assignment #15

I've learned a lot as writer through my writing 101 class. I've learned things such as organizing papers better, creating strong thesis statements, avoiding sentence fragments, and adding specific details and examples to help support my claims. I liked this class overall because it helped me improve in areas that I was having trouble in. My previous writing classes would just just assign an essay and a rubric in hopes that the students would accomplish what the teacher asked of them. On the other hand, in this course I liked how we wrote drafts, pier reviewed them, and then had the final draft due a couple days after. I like this because with a rough draft you can build, add, take out, and prefect your paper with your classmates. It was also nice that we had a chance to read other peoples papers so we had a feel of what our own paper is supposed to look like. Overall, this course has helped me immensely on becoming a better writer in general. I've learned different ways and techniques to make my papers better overall. I've also gotten a chance to read some of my piers amazing essays. Something I really likes about his course was that we got a chance to write a draft before our final paper was due. I think that helped me the most because my drafts have never been all that. It usually takes me a couple drafts to really perfect my papers so that I feel like they are fully complete and ready to hand in.
