This semester I have learned a lot. I learned what college is like and what BYU is like. Everything this semester is new for me and it is probably the same for many. It is the first time I have been away from my parents and what it is like to live by yourself away from home.
In writing 150 this semester I have learned many new things. I have learned what a rhetorical analysis is. I learned new tools of writing and many big words like proteclepsis (I forget how to spell it) and what logical appeal and emotional appeal in writing was. I learned how to be yourself in your writing and add voice to your writing. Well writing the research paper I learned a lot about the BCS football system well researching that information about the BCS.I learned how to cite different research that I used with different authors. Also in this class I learned about the writing center and how you can take your paper to the writing center for help. I also learned that you should you use your peers for help and peer reviews are very helpful. That there are many things you can learn from others about your writing.
I still need to work on my writing. I feel that sometimes I get very repetitive in my writing. I need to work on rereading my work. Well taking the pretest and posttest I learned that there are a lot of things that I do not know about in my writing that I didn’t know that I need to learn and work on. I also need to work on putting my papers in the right format whether it’s MLA or a different format. This is what I learned this semester and what I still need to work on.
