Final Reflection

After doing the narrative argument essay, I realized that it is a lot easier to write about a personal story that is relevant to you. Another thing I liked about the Narrative story is that it gave me an opportunity to hear an interesting story from my father while at the same time bringing up a serious topic. Things that gave me trouble were that for my final version, I had to change the focus and point of the essay which forced me to find new information and facts on my topic.
Class wise, I had a very good experience in Academic Writing. Coming into the class, I always hated writing and did not enjoy the thought of it, but mostly because finding research was always hard for me. After taking this class, I have learned how to utilize my sources and became better at finding not only regular sources but scholarly sources as well. Another thing I liked about the class was the workshops we did. It gave me a good opportunity to not only become a better writer, but it also gave me the chance to realize how to critique and edit one of my papers effectively. Overall, it was a good experience, and the class was a lot better than what I had expected it to be in the beginning.
