When looking at my previous work I believe I can see an improvement in my writing.
think I can also see this improvement in my grades. When I see that I get a good grade on one of
my writing assignments it makes the confidence in my writing go up. I was never really that
good at writing and I believe this class has helped me understand the fundamentals of writing not
only in an academic setting but a professional setting as well. The improvement I see is due to all
the drafts I had to do on this course. Before this class I would not really do drafts, but now I see
the importance of them and how they can drastically change the outcome of a final paper. I also
noticed that my writing has developed more formally than it was before. I would consider my
writing a little more professional thanks to the help this course provided.
In addition, at the beginning of this course my goal was to understand how psychology
and this course could relate to each other. Communication plays a key role in the psychology
field, and I believe I met the goal for understanding these two concepts. Discussing
communication in a professional setting I believe has helped me better prepare myself for my
future in the psychology field. Being a professional in the career I want to go into is very
important, so understanding how to write documents correctly and understanding what I’m
reading is significant. Throughout the course of this class, I created goals for myself that I also
think I achieved during the time. One of my other goals was to fully accept criticism and
incorporate as much of it into my papers to essentially make them sound better. At the end of the
day the reviewers were trying to help me so I had a goal to fully accept what I did wrong and
how it could be improved. I achieved this goal during the course and even found a new
appreciation for not getting everything right the first time. I now like to gradually build up my
work until they reach the best they could be.
Moreover, the assignment I am the proudest of during this course is the Engagement
project. I struggled with this assignment as I am not the most tech savvy person, but I was
ultimately able to overcome the challenge. Even though I turned it in a little late, the fact that I
was able to finish and actually made the AR experience work made me so happy and proud.
Honestly, out of all the assignments the engagement project made me the most satisfied. It also
helped me to not just give up just because I did not meet the deadline, but to push through and
finish it. Another assignment I liked was the Instructions, I thought it was fun to write
information on a topic I'm familiar with that could benefit others. If I could edit an assignment in
this course, it would be the White Paper assignment. I feel like the instructions could have been a
little more detailed, it felt very broad. Overall, I really enjoyed this course, and I would definitely
recommend it to other students in the future.
