I did my best to consider the strengths and weaknesses. One thing I would change would be to put more effort into the drafting period. The drafting period, I learned, is a crucial step. It gives me the chance to organize my ideas, producing a polished work with a logical structure and flow. The opportunity to identify and address any gaps in my research or arguments is provided by the drafting process, which also enables me to enhance my work. Drafting also makes it possible to edit and revise, improving coherence, clarity, and overall quality. I would also take more time to look at rubrics to see what exactly the audience is looking for. Rubrics offer precise instructions and standards for judging the caliber of writing, ensuring I am aware of the assignment’s objectives and specifications. My favorite piece would be the memo. The main reason for this decision is due to the creativity involved with the assignment. I enjoy putting my own imagination and twist to writing, and this assignment let me do just that while still incorporating topics and material from the class. My least favorite piece would be the Rhetorical Analysis mostly because I didn’t feel as much attachment as I did with the others. The other pieces had some element of me in it, while the Rhetorical Analysis was mostly a chore. What I do well is try to understand and write to the best of my ability. What I mean by this is that I am not a great writer, but I will try to listen to instructions and make an effort to fit the guidelines set, and when I miss some aspects, I can go back and fix them. However, one shortcoming is that I am inconsistent with this. Sometimes, I will leave my mistakes and make no effort to fix them. This is a bad habit which I aim to fix. Overall, my writing is still average. I do some parts better than others, and I need to improve on having a good flow and structure. Let’s say I have a solid start and introduction, but then the body falls apart, or vice versa, and I have a strong body but a weak start. I need to learn to keep that consistency throughout the paper to make it solid. I want my work to show that I can hit every single mark and instruction accurately, even if I can’t show it right now and that will take more time and effort from me. My work shows that I need to take in some more advice and help to actually improve my writing. A lot of the issues I faced could be fixed through comments on my draft or peer-reviewing and I will definitely take this in next time. In the past, I would use simple language and not use my writing to cater towards my audience. This would make for inefficient writing that would not get the message across clearly. However, where I stand right now is in a much better position. I have developed skills to write in a certain way depending on who’s reading the paper. I learned the use of images , charts, and figures to further increase understanding for the reader while also making it easier for me to show what I mean by my writing. In order to effectively express difficult engineering concepts in their discipline, I developed technical writing abilities that are specialized to that field. I also learned how to format and arrange technical documents, such as reports, proposals, and research papers, in accordance with accepted practices. This writing course made my writing better. It, first, included much jargon that I have incorporated into my vocabulary and writing. I usually brainstorm ideas at the start and only put minimal effort into the drafting process. This result comes from my own procrastination or unawareness to how important this stage can be, but I go right into the final paper right after finding an idea. This leaves room for many mistakes in my writing, whether it being grammar or flow-wise or even the structure of my paper. Although sometimes it may work out, usually, it results in messy writing, where some parts of my paper are more concise and better than other parts that seem to lack the same effort. My new found knowledge on why drafting is important, especially in technical writing where there are many hypothetical concepts and ideas floating around, will lead me to have more efficient writing in the future. The technique that helped me the most was seeing student samples. This was the best way to see what exactly I was doing right and what the standard was, but more importantly, what I was doing wrong and needed to improve upon. The student samples given to me were obviously meant to show what an ideal paper would be for that topic, so I used it as a reference for my paper, so it would fit the requirements to the fullest potential. Almost every paper I would look at the student sample, if available, to use as a framework of my own, just to get me a sense of what the audience was looking for. I tried my best to collaborate with others. We had a peer review session for every paper, and I took the advice written on the paper but one mistake I made was that I didn’t give enough writing material when passing it on to my peers. This caused the criticism that I received to be limited, and part of the reason why some sections seemed more polished than others. If I had given a full draft, then I would have gotten criticism for every section, resulting in a more consistent paper. I went to the writing center once and I have to say that they are very good at their job. They showed me ways and structures to improve my writing. They taught me that I was overcomplicating the process and all I needed was to take it step by step. The advice I got from all of this taught me the importance of criticism and reaching out for help.
