What areas do you feel you strengthened in the past 10 weeks?

Hello everyone,
I have always loved to write but my editing was not always so good. I think my editing skill have really strengthened. Now I know how to replace words that are over used and to look for run-on sentences. I also think my writing is a better quality than before as well. I also know how to better research a topic like be specific when looking sources. I think this class really helped me to become a much better writer. I think my prewriting skills has also strengthened. When I prewrite I am able to express myself as well as get my ideas out on paper. I really enjoyed this class and I am glad I had the opportunity to improve on my overall writing process. I am just glad that this class has been very useful and the skills I have learned I use in all my upcoming classes. I wish everyone in my class good luck in the future!

With your paper done or almost done, how do you feel

Hello everyone, 
           Now that I have finished my paper I feel very relived and accomplished. I have written many paper before but this paper really made me think. When I write a paper I like to take my time to make it my best work. I feel that my paper shows my best work. It's nice to feel like I can do anything especially when it comes to writing. I have always had a knack for writing. I like to be able to express myself through writing. Even when you are writing a paper you show your personal style and be creative. Over all it feels very good be done with my paper and almost done with class. I feel great that I can write a paper that I feel is good and be just about done with class. Over the past 10 weeks I have learned more about how to write a good paper and to be a good writer.

Do you plan to continue your blog even after the course?

Hello everyone,
After this class is through I plan to keep my blog. I like the freedom my blog offers me and I can write whatever is on my mind. I have always enjoyed writing whether it be in my blog or in my journal. Writing is my way of expressing myself. A lot of times I have a hard time saying what I feel and when I blog I get to say what I feel. So after this course I will continue to blog weekly so I can say what I am doing and what I am feeling. I am just so glad we got to have a blog for this class. It's nice to be able to write what you want within in reason.  I have really enjoyed blogging and I will continue for a long time. This week has been pretty busy for me with my children and school. I like to keep busy it keeps me healthy and happy.

How I feel about peer reviews

Hello everyone,
           I personally think peer reviews are great because we get to have feed back from our peers. I know when I write I tend to miss words. Our peers can catch those mistakes that we might miss. I enjoy getting feedback from my peers. This helps me to be a better writer and learn to catch my mistakes. In my past classes we had to review our peers work and I enjoyed that as well. As long as we are honest and not to mean or rude to each other peer reviews are great. I am pretty good at giving feedback but I love to receive feedback as well. For me peer reviews have always been a positive experience. My peers are honest with me and are not rude or mean when they make comments. I am the same way I am never mean when I review others work as well because I wouldn't want someone to be mean to me.
