Final

                  Growing up, writing has never been my strongest suit. This semester in English 10/10 I have learned a great amount of insights that I will be able to take throughout the rest of my education and career. In many ways, I have become a stronger and better writer.

                  The biggest thing I took from this class is how important it is to deeply know about your subject before writing anything about it. Previous to this class, I always struggled writing papers and coming up with valid points to put in it. Thanks to this class, I learned that most of this was lack of my knowledge on the subject. Having the blog posts this semester to go along with my major papers helped me out tremendously. I felt like I knew almost everything there was to the subject, and I had so much more to build on in my papers. Learning how to be prepared and knowledgeable about my subject has improved the accuracy of my writing tremendously.

                  In my writing, and in life in general I have always had an issue with paying attention to the “little things.” My favorite part of this class was when Professor Smith would give us quick hits. These were usually easy and simple tricks to enhance the grammar and accuracy of your writing. These were a huge eye opener for me, and made me realize that the smallest changes can make such a difference in your writing.

                  Overall, I enjoyed the structure of this class, and I feel much more confident in my writings. Professor Smith had great insight, and it was definitely a class that I am going to be able to take throughout the rest of my education.
