My Reflections

Amanda: I really enjoyed all of her work. I noticed, though, in the beginning of this course her work was somewhat “choppy” (is that the right word?). After reading through her work for the entire course as a whole, I noticed that her pieces started to form into very fluid, and amazing work as progress went on. She had great reading responses, and I honestly enjoyed reading every single one of them. She has great key points in a lot of her writing, and it was truly noticeable in those reading responses. Also, her voice was a huge part in all of her work, which made it incredibly appealing to me. Thanks for sharing your work, Amanda.

John: The first thing I noticed about John’s writing was that he has an amazing way of expressing his opinion through a piece. He pushed a lot of voice through every piece, and it was very noticeable which makes his writing outstanding. The thoughts he expressed through his reading responses really triggered thoughts of my own, and I enjoyed that part of his work. My favorite piece of his would have to be his last paper; it was just so interesting and caught my attention well. Some of his blog posts were messed up, but other than that small detail, I had a lot of fun reading his pieces. Thank you for sharing your work with me, John.

Chantelle: I really liked her papers. I saw her voice shine through those more than anything else, and the one that caught my eye the most was her third paper. I was able to revise the paper for her in class, and it was just one that really caught my attention due to her memoir inside of it, and how interesting it was to me. After reading through the papers on the blog, I see her improving greatly. Her work flows more nicely now than ever before, and you can truly see that change in her last piece. Chantelle always caught my eye on her essays, and I really think that was her strongest point of this course. Thank you for sharing, Chantelle.

Kristin: Her voice was amazing throughout all of her pieces, and sometimes that’s hard to find in a writer. I honestly enjoyed her three papers the best. They were incredibly interesting to me, and I saw the most improvements within those pieces. From the first paper to the last paper I could see your work come together more clearly and thoughtfully and the final drafts really showed how well you put the revisions to the test. My favorite piece would have to be her memoir, it was just emotionally driven, and I really liked that about the piece. She really expressed her memory well and I enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing all of your pieces, Kristin.

A Reflection on Myself: It’s hard for me to critique myself on my writing pieces, but I think it’s safe to say that I have definitely grown as a writer. For myself, I really noticed how free I got with some of my papers, and it’s hard for me to come down to that level. To express myself fully to an audience. Taking this course and writing these pieces also hurt me. Before taking this class I was incredibly worried about exposing my work to classmates and just an audience as a whole. I hated how I was so shy with my writing, and I was definitely self conscious with everything. After reading through my work, I noticed that a lot of my worries were lifted off of them, and I could enjoy myself when I wrote for the class. I also realized that the revisions I had to go through truly changed the way I wrote a paper and that was such a great feeling seeing that difference come about in my writing. I’m excited for what’s to come in my future writing!
