Estephanie's Academic Writing Self-Assessment
As time has past, I feel like I have grown as a writer. I have definitely improved in many aspects, but am still flawed in others. For example, I feel like, throughout the years I have gotten better with my organization while writing papers. In a paper that I wrote in 2018 for my Contemporary Issues class, I wrote a personal paper about DACA and Immigration. In this paper, my goal was to have the people in my class know more about DACA and how immigrants feel with the way that the president has been handling the situation. The way that I had my paper organized, the class was moved and the teacher complimented me with the way that I had written it. The things that I feel like I can improve on are staying on topic. Sometimes, while writing a paper, I sometimes focus too much on one certain topic instead of writing about the bigger picture.

I think it's natural to accidentally focus on certain topics you like rather than the whole picture.The balancing act of covering everything equally takes lots of practice, and I struggle with that as well.
ReplyDeleteThat's super cool that you have noticed your improvement in writing! Organization is huge for me, and something I'm still working on getting better at! Maybe I'll have to borrow some advice from you with organizing some of the papers we write!
