As the semester has progressed, I believe that I have learned how to express myself

through my words at a confident and consistent level. I have been challenged through the
diverse assignments that we have been exposed to. The proposal that we have been working
on and the studio assignments give me a variety of assignments to work on. I believe that I am
on my way to achieving my goals for this class.
Early in the semester, I thought this class was excessively easy. I began to put off my
UWRT assignments until the very last minute. As the semester has moved along, I am having a
harder time completing the assignments the night before. I have spent nights up well past
midnight working on the assignments, yet I have not changed my work style. I prefer to work
with the stress of completing assignments right before due days. It gives me initiative, and
forces me to think critically throughout the duration of my work period. Some of my assignments
have been lackluster; you could tell this from some of my lower assignment grades. I
understand that my writing is not always on par with what is expected, but that is something that
I know I need to work on.
I am not the most consistent writer. My writing depends on many things. If it has been a
long day of hard work I get very sluggish while I am writing. This leads to assignments that are
very close to the minimum amount of words and loaded with errors. My only solution for when
this happens is to rest. My procrastination makes this hard because a lot of the time the work is
due the next day. Often, I find that I am able to do my work to a decent degree on Sunday
nights because I do not do anything on Sundays. My schedule on Sunday consists of waking
up at noon, going to eat at one, and going back to sleep until seven P.M. When I wake up I will
start my assignments for the next day. This system has worked for me for most of my time spent
in college. Some assignments it is not the amount of tired I am that influences the assignment, it
is the assignment itself.
Some assignments I have a hard time completing because of the nature of the
assignment. Our research jounal was a hard assignment for me. I do not enjoy synthesizing
information multiple times, I would rather use the information once in the assignment rather than
restating the information multiple times. To me it feels redundant. I understand the point of it, to
make sure that we understand our information fully and to make sure we find that out if our
sources are credible. I need to more enthusiastically research my papers and topics. With
proper research and planning for my research papers, I will have weakly written papers. These
papers will be short and inconsistent.
As far as this semester goes, I feel like I am successfully making my way through UWRT
1104. My grade as of now is in the mid eighties and to me that is something that I can pull up to
be an A. My goal for this class is not just to have an A, my goal is to become a more fluent and
educated writer. I want to be able to communicate my thoughts clearly and concisely. This class
for me will help learn how to write for my technical engineering writings in the future. I know that
this is a large part of my future career, therefore, what I learn now, will only help me for the life I
plan to live.
I have spent a good amount of time working for this class, the assignments are long, and
my process for work, though unorthodox, works for me as a writer. I feel as if, though I have
progressed as a writer, through; understanding the process by which we describe our
surroundings and what we read. This class has taught me, that we are not always able to talk
about what we need to describe; that writing is necessary in communication of all forms. This
can be scientific or merely for entertainment. Communication is the sole language of the human
race. Though we speak different languages, our writing is the story of our minds. For it can be
translated and relayed to people across the globe. Although, borders are physical, text can
transcend those borders, and inspire people without language, without race. I believe as this
class progresses, I become more able to communicate my thoughts through words and
sentences, without need for physical exclamation. We might not be able to talk for the rest of
existence, but what we have written in todays world, will last for all of existence.
