Throughout the semester, I believe I have improved on my writing skills tremendously.Even Though I have had difficulties,My writing has improved by evaluating the most important information that matters rather than stating the obvious.

Ever since I participated in this class my skills have greatly improved and have been reinforced. The drafting process for the profile and research paper assignments have taught me alot about where and how I need to improve my writing abilities.

you might know at QUEUC we have a 7-8 page requirement for submitting a paper. If you are like me and have an essay that is slightly under the 7-8 page requirement it may be time to review any notes that you had when drafting your essay.

How to Write a Paper About Nothing Posted on February 22, 2010 · in How-To Writing classes tell students a lot of things. A great many of these things are true, if you’re one of those outmoded models with a “drive to learn” (it hurts to type it) or are one of the poor souls to major in a topic with the word “literature” attached to it.

may have never had the opportunity to write a research paper. The paper is not a speech, it is not a conversation that you have with someone, and it is not a personal letter that you are writing. Every class I seem to get one or two who write this way and write like: “First of all, we will address-------“…..You are not addressing anything.

Putting Thoughts to Paper For several years in school, I dreaded writing academic papers because I found many of the topics monotonous, provoking little desire in me to work hard. The writing process intimidated me because I was often unaware as to where I should begin a paper and once I did, how I should develop my thoughts in an effective manner. My appreciation of writing, both academically and artistically, did not surface until my sophomore year in high school. When I transferred from public

disagree on it. On this assignment, I learned how to write an argument with facts and not using my opinion. In order to get a good grade on this assignment we had to turn it in by the due date, have at least five competed paragraphs, two claims that supported our ideas, and one claim that was against our idea. I did the assignment in class and my teacher helped too. I researched all my information, then I organized everything I wrote down on paper. It was really hard at first to find information about

think about what I would have done differently if I would have had more time. As I began writing the review essay, the annotated bibliographies, and the academic argument, the one problem, or error, that became consistent was lack of detail of the citations I used in my earlier drafts. As I looked back at my essay for the academic argument, this became one of the most noticeable patterns that was consistent throughout all my
