Portfolio Reflection
I believe that I have do some very great work within this work, but also some of my worse. This class has helped me fix and reevaluate what steps I need to take when writing certain essays, especially analytical ones. My best work within this class has been my literacy narrative. When I’m writing, not worrying about structure or evidence, I’m able to write my best work. You can hear my voice through the words of the paper. My worse paper had to be my Research Critical Analysis. Writing papers with strict structure has always been a problem for me, especially when I must pick my topic. The topic I chose was the worst part, I chose a topic that is challenging to write about and you can’t just choose one side easily.
This class has been challenging for me due to how self-critical I am to my writing. I always nitpick at the smallest details, but most of the time this is a bad thing because I keep changing the essays around which makes me submit things late because I don’t feel as if I’m giving in my best work. I feel as I haven’t grown on this or improved on this problem since taking this class in the begging of the school year. Hopefully, I will be able to change this problem in the near future. This class has helped me know what topics I should choose, and topics I should avoid, mainly ones that are not really talks about, or ones that has too many factors to taken account of. I will be able to take what I have learned from this class and use it in future papers. I feel this class has helped shown me my problems within writing and helped get rid of those problems.
