What I have grown to be....

In this class I think that I have grown as a writer for many reasons. Looking back at my first blog I wrote I found that my sentences were very long and drawn out but for no reason. I think that with the large focus on summary and critical analysis that I learned how to better generate my ideas in a logical order as well as keep them to the point. Another reason that I think this class helped me grow was through discussions with the class. I found it helpful especially with assignments that we had to write on the opposition cause you got to hear the opposition first hand. Also I think when doing group discussions they allow you to refocus your own thoughts and map out what you really do think about situations.

In terms of writing I also think that Kartz helped me with some small things with word choice, proper grammar, and organization that have really been noticeable with my writing. My essays seem to flow better and have more content. As for the class I think like with any new group of students that you meet help you learn new aspects. For the most part I liked the discussions and I liked getting feed back from not only a teacher but from peers to see what they thought of my writing. I believe that one of the best ways to learn is from those around you.

So all in all I think that this class was helpful and helped me grow and learn in not only my writing skills but also with communication skills. It was a good first quarter in college and I am thankful for what I learned.
