Final Assessment
During the past six weeks in my Freshman Composition course, I have honed my experience with blogging. I have strengthened my communication with the outside world and expressed myself accordingly. For instance, I was not a fan of political or social issues, but lately, I find myself reading newspapers and magazines so as to keep myself up-to-date. In essence, the whole blogging experience has broadened my horizons. Also, I have written a letter of awareness to explain how I feel about the security in the college. Blogging has now become a lifestyle. However, not only has my freshman composition class exposed me to blogging, but it has also been influencing my writing.
Writing papers has always been my most-hated task in school. I am rather a “Mathematics” person so to say, but I usually did very well in my English papers. However, my experience in my English class has helped me sharpened some of my skills in writing. I have learnt to develop a good thesis, to set out a well-organized outline, to do a lot of research and cite sources, to effectively use transition words to connect paragraphs, and to wrap up my essay with a good conclusion. It has been a whole new level of writing. The expository essays have helped me to think more critically and understand little abstract details in essays. Therefore I am proud to say that I have become a better writer.
