SLO Reflection (Part 3)

This final blog post is mean to reflect on me as a writer and how I perceived myself at the beginning to the course compared to now. In my intial blog post, I compared myself to a year round high school athlete who excels in the various sports they participate in. In terms of writing, that would mean that I do well in the different types of writing. At this point in time I realize that I may not have excelled as well as I initially thought. Mainly with argumentive writing, I struggled on my first research essay by summarizing more than arguing. Thus I spent alot of energy making sure I could argue a point better through words and this is the aspect I believe I improved the most on through this class. An element of writing that was somewhat new to me was rhetorical awareness or being able to jump into an already occuring argument. Being new to me, this is the point I believe I should monitor in future writing since I've never really thought much of it before the class. The class will benefit me in the future by making rhetorical awareness an element worth looking at.
