Reflective Essay
Advanced writing has been a very effective class for my overall writing skills. I have been able to fine tune the writing skills that I will need for my career. The assignments have been great for me to prepare for my career in education. Since being an educator requires that you write a lot, and you have to be able to write effectively. The skills I have learned on how to structure my writing so that it is clear and precise is the most beneficial thing that I have gotten out of this class. I was a little scared that I wasn’t going to be able to complete the class to the level that I wanted to. Now that I am at the end of the class I can truly say that I was able to complete the challenging tasks assigned to me.
Before I started this I class I was not confident in my writing. The assignments have challenged me to address the areas that I am not confident in. I feel much more confident in my writing style, and how to write effectively. This course has been an eye opener for me. I felt that I was at least a decent writer when I started, but have learned that there were many more aspects of writing that I needed to address. Since I am going to be a teacher the assignments correlated with some of my job duties as a teacher. Such as letters to parents, incident reports, and most importantly how to write with the proper tone. I will be communicating with parents regularly as a teacher and these skills will be very important to my job.
My only challenge with this class was the technical issues that took place through blackboard. When dealing with technology sometimes things disappear for no reason, and there is no way to explain it. This issue could have been avoided if I did my due diligence and double checked that my assignments were there. I know now that I will have to double check when an assignment is submitted, and to keep my confirmation e-mails in a safe place so that I have back up. It was a major learning lesson on my part and have since put measures into place so that this will not happen again.
Overall I feel that I have advanced a great deal when it comes to my writing. This class has pushed me to be a better writer, and look at many different aspects of my writing. Being able to revise my work and get proper feedback was very helpful so that I could learn from my mistakes. The assignments I have done for this class have provided a great portfolio of what I am able to do. This will be very beneficial for me when I go to interview for jobs. I feel more confident in my abilities to write and to do so effectively.
