Hitting the nail on the head
The lessons have equipped and educated me with the appropriate tools to consciously write a convincing and comprehensible academic piece. Prelude to this course, I always chose to believe that I had a strong foundation in grammar but realised I still have much to learn. This course has increased my depth of knowledge of accurate grammatical writing as well as utilising suitable linguistic artillery to enhance the clarity of my work. The classes were highly engaging and the interactive nature of them made the learning process both fun and fulfilling. Frequent group discussions and peer to peer evaluations aided in gathering feedbacks from multiple individuals of various writing calibres. The variety of feedbacks gathered were allowed for a more enriching and motivating class experience altogether. I was able to able to grasp the essentials of writing an argumentative essay which I failed to better comprehend during my non-tertiary school years.
I am aware that I still have flaws in essay structuring which often affects the coherence of my work which results in deviation from the main point of argument. People who had the opportunity to read my essay usually claim that it becomes incomprehensible towards the end. In my opinion, reading plays a major role in becoming a better writer because one can capture ideas and learn from avid writers who should have a stronger command in English. I need to indulge myself in more academic journals, thesis and non-fictional articles in addition to novels if I wish to seek more improvement in academic writing. Occasional casual writing can supplement reading by providing opportunities to observe progress in the maturity of my writing. Currently, I shall apply what I have learnt in this course for other modules during my stay in the university.
In conclusion, this course shall be my stepping stone to critically criticise, analyse and sharpen my skills in writing. I also truly believe that less complacency and more humility will strive me further for life long learning and correction.
Well written Vimal with a wide range of advanced lexical items. Aren't you being a bit harsh on yourself though as you don't strike me as being complacent. For content, focus on your theses and topic sentences. With reference to grammar which word in the first paragraph should be uncountable as opposed to plural. In the second paragraph, the second line lacks tense consistency and in the final paragraph, 'strive' is the wrong word.
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, who are your favourite novelists?
Alright noted. I do not really have preference for any authors but books by haruki murakami, elizabeth kostova and paulo coelho are interesting reads.
