The goal I set for myself at the beginning of the semester is to become an overall better writer, specifically at introductions and conclusions.
I think I have accomplished this. I’ve learned a lot about writing this semester. I think I had a hard time writing conclusions because it was always supposed to be a reiteration of a statement thesis and the 3 reasons why. It makes it a lot easier when you are supposed to relay a plan of action for your audience and what you want them to do after they read your essay. I think I have gotten better at writing introductions because of the writing style I have learned and how your papers should flow more rather than a thesis statement with 3 reasons and each paragraph be one of those reasons. I’ve also learned that it is much easier to get sources before you write your paper than as you write it.
I think I’ve accomplished these goals in a way but I think I can always improve and continue to become a better writer.
It’s wonderful to hear that you’re meeting your goals! This is definitely something you can revisit in your final reflection at the end of the semester.
