Project Three: Reflections on the Semester

Intro

While my time in this class was short and brief, so short in fact I still can’t remember its proper name, I learned and reinforced some valuable skills that will aid and guide me through the rest of my writing career.
Personal growth

In the time I had in this class has lead me to develop personal habits that allow me to complete my objectives, such as chunking a massive writing project or research project into manageable chunks to complete in time. Before having this class, I would leave the work pile up for the last two days to cram in to work. Now I have learned how to time manage.
I have also learned to keep said deadlines. Falling behind one can easily escalate to loosing time and losing more deadlines, which is a vicious cycle.

Research methods

I learned few new methods in this class, but I did reinforce several I already knew. I learned some new resource catalogs, and that Wikipedia is not a legitimate source. I also learned how to properly give credit through source citation MLA style.
Writing process
My writing process hasn’t changed since high school, but I have reinforced it, and polished it. My high school English teacher was a brilliant man, and his system has pulled me through.

Writing and reading as a discipline

I never really saw this as a discipline, but when I think about it, it takes discipline to produce good writing and to be able to read beyond the obvious message of an article. One must follow guidelines, which I reinforced in this class.
Course information/involvement
The information I received in this course was not much new, but reinforcement of what I already knew. The few new things I did learn were through research on my own time for the course, which is where I got my involvement in.

Overall summery

In conclusion, this class helped reinforce several things I already knew, and as such will be using these techniques in future writings. This class helped me strength my research skills, along with my time management skills. It also helped me properly annotate, and dig for information.
