Writing Skills Reflection

As I answered each question of the survey, I realized that none of my answers surprised me, and quite honestly, I felt relieved knowing exactly what my weaknesses are. I found comfort in knowing what I can develop upon. I have always struggled with writing. My mind will draw a blank, or I will panic that my writing is not good enough or meet requirements. I have always been well-organized and allow for efficient time to complete assignments. What stuck out to the most was no matter where I was in the writing process, I always fall into the same difficulties of worrying about the assignment and how well I will do.
I have found the two most important elements of the questionnaire to be my approach on writing and getting started on my assignments. I found that I am often overwhelmed leaving me to over-think my assignment, worry about the quality of work, and my confidence in finding information to complete assignment. I would especially like to change to my thought process throughout my work on my assignments. I need to become more confident and secure in my writing ability. I am also looking forward to learning how to look at things more critically. Ranking the approaches to revision was helpful to see where I may need to rethink my strategy and where it works. I found this approach very insightful and a great way to improve my revisions.
My strengths are in my organization and planning for assignments.
I will continue to stay on top of my assignments through using these strengths. I thoroughly plan out each task carefully allowing much time to finish and revise my assignments.
I look forward to learning many new techniques and improving upon the ones I already know throughout this course. I hope to become more confident, learn tools needed to research assignments, and staying
positive.
