Self-reflection essayWriting has never been my strong point. When I signed up for English 105, I was afraid of taking on a daunting challenge in a college-level composition course that would be difficult to overcome. Although the course was challenging, the assignments, workshops, and freedom to choose article topics gave me the opportunity to greatly enjoy the writing process. In high school, papers are written, reviewed, edited, and edited by the person who wrote the paper, and then the paper is turned in for a grade. In this course, the portfolio style allows for much larger revisions, a much deeper insight and understanding of the writing process, and a much better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of a writer's work. For example, much of the presentation of an argument in a paper acknowledges the fact that there are other opinions and often other possible explanations as to why a certain thing was observed. This concept is not something that occurred to me when I started writing papers for this course, but it is something that I learned to do during the review process. In the first paper I wrote for this class, the Observational Essay, in the first draft I expressed my belief as to why people sit in specific sections of campus dining halls. My argument was that people who come to the dining room alone sit in the farthest part of the dining room because they feel embarrassed being alone and therefore don't want to be seen. In my first draft, I presented this idea as if it was the only possible reason. However, as I edited the article, in addition to restructuring the sentence, I added the word "perhaps" and added an alternative reason for my observation by stating: "While the previous... middle of article... The ..hs have been completely removed from the document and most other paragraphs have been significantly restructured. In my third article about art, my original description of the painting I interacted with was too long and so I removed almost half of that section from my article. With all the workshops, lectures, and class discussions, my writing has improved. The key to the writing process is the ability to review and edit your own article. Although writing an article and developing appropriate ideas can be difficult, the most difficult step in the writing process is finding which places in the article can be deleted and which can be edited. Through the exercises and activities in English 105, I was able to better learn how to find flaws in my paper and learned how essential the revision process is in creating a great piece of writing..
