Blog post #10 What have I learned?
Even though writing was something I never enjoyed doing in class I am very grateful that most of my assignments were about writing because It prepared me for what I am expected to know and do for the rest of my life. I was never good at writing but I think since starting college and having some tools provided such as books and school resources that talked about what makes someone a good writer, it helped me see writing in a different way and I think I have improved in some way. There is a lot to work on in my writing but I think I am more confident moving forward with these new skills for my major where I will have plenty of lab reports that I will be doing and one of the required skills is scientific writing. I no longer see writing as a frustration subject but rather a challenge that I can overcome if I propose myself to it. I think it’s just a matter of time, commitment and patience to become better writer
Knowing differences in things like structure, language, and reference, is essential in order for a reader to understand what they are reading, the order the writer takes from the beginning to the end, the language it is written whether is formal or informal. And what references are included that can support all of the points the writer makes. I think knowing these modes of writing will help me improve when I want to target. a specific reader and want to keep them entertained while they are also able to dive into more information to gain more knowledge about a topic. The books helped me a lot to understand why writing is not something that can be done in one day, it takes time to revise and correct any errors.
