• How have you developed as a writer this semester? (What have you learned or what skills have you gained?)  English 102 has taught me how to prepare for higher level writing classes and it has also taught me how to prepare myself.  Our paper topics for this class were very interesting and I loved writing them.

• What lessons about writing can you apply to other classes?  

Obviously I have learned many lessons that can prepare me for other classes in this particular class, but the biggest one was rediness.  Dr. Micer was hard on us to turn out papers in on time and if we didn't we would get pentalized for it.  That skill will not only help me with other classes in college, but in other aspects of life.

• What do you feel is your best piece of writing in your portfolio? Why?

I liked my Immigration in the United States writing paper.  I thought I covered a lot of important aspects in it, therefore it was one of my best pieces of writing.  I'm not saying my other papers were garbage, but I definitly do feel that i could have done a lot better on them.

• What strategies have you used to overcome some of the challenges of writing this semester?

Not to much stratagies, just what Dr. Micer has taught us.  He has taught us a lot of new and different things this semester so when you put those all together and clamp them tight, you will most likely overcome any challenges you see in anything.

• What were your strengths in writing?

My strenghts in writinng are definitly spelling and grammer.  I need to work on paragraph structure a lot more; but hey, I'm only a freshman.

• What areas do you need to continue to develop as a writer?

Paragraph structure and finishing complete ideas rather than leaving them at a certain point.  I think if I were to develope ideas and write them down on paper I would be more successful in writing because my audience would understand what I wwere trying to say a lot better.
