Reflection Essay
I usually think my writing is in good standard. I try to proof read my papers
and make sure the grammar and sentence structure sounds correct when read aloud. I did learn that I have been using the Oxford comma my entire life but never knew that is what it is called. I also learned somewhat how to add a header on Microsoft Word. I also learned about Words track changes which I never even knew existed before this class. I don’t think the class itself needs improvement, but I do think the accelerated course for summer is a little hard to fully understand all of the content for the assignments. I was unsure of a few things for the assignments and kind of just tried to match the rubric. I did enjoy the content on which I wrote about and I think I did learn quite a lot from the course overall. As far as goals are concerned, I never really have any goals going into a course other than passing the class. Of course, everyone would prefer an A, but I am usually fine with a B as well. Although before the submission of the portfolio I was at an 81 so I am hoping I did a good enough job on this portfolio to keep me above the C grade. As a cyber security major, I am a little unsure of why all students need to take technical communication as well as the undergraduate writing courses. Otherwise I would not really have been interested in this type of course. I do enjoy writing things like screenplays but that is very different than technical writing requirements. Again, I think the accelerated course rate for the summer period made the assignments feel non-stop, so you did not have a lot of time to review your progress. The assignment I was proud of the most was the white paper packet. I did a lot of reading and research for that paper and I thought I did a really good layout and selected good infographic imagery. Although my grade did not reflect nearly how well I thought I had done. I do hope the revisions I have made for the portfolio are acceptable. I also thought it was clever that I had a slight nod to the “writer” of my letter in the email, so it was kind of a unified project. As far as adding an assignment, I think the topics should change between classes, I did enjoy islands, but I can see it being enjoyable to write about movies, animals, or other things. I don’t know how or what to edit in any assignment we did through the class. I think the visualization packet was unique but a little tough due to the audio portion. I think maybe writing a short paper with the story spheres would be effective because a lot of people hate their own voice or feel uncomfortable speaking aloud about things. Overall, I enjoyed the class and working with my group. I thought the instructor was nice and knowledgeable. I feel like I took away something worthwhile from the experience.
