Improvements from the the WRIT1122 course.

By taking this course, I have had many opportunities to learn about writing.

The first aspect of improvement for my writing has been practice. The course has supplemented the writing I have been assigned in all my other classes to keep me busy enough with writing that there is always some paper or written assignment I am working on at all times this initially was a bit intimidating to me as I was not a very good writer at the beginning of this quarter. What it did however, was improve my comfort level with writing. After this quarter I can write and compose my thoughts into writing so much more efficiently that I can write a lot more and it doesn't take me as long. This has proved very useful and came just from the practice and experience of constantly writing something. Prior to this I was always intimidated by large writing assignments and also had a big problem with composing my thoughts and getting them into writing, it would take significant amounts of time to complete papers that were not all that big. This practice has also set in stone the new things I learned from the WRIT1122 course, meaning now when I write a paper or some other piece of writing for another class, some of these things just develop naturally in my thoughts as I write, and I don't end up having to chop up my first draft as much to try and fit corrections in.
