This week in WRIT101 we talked about the benefits of using transitional words or phrases. I found this lessons to be particularlly helpful because it will help to strengthen my writing and help make my writing more effective to my audience. I plan to use the information I learned about transition phrases in all of my academic writings. Learning about transitional words and phrases affected my writing positively by helping me to make my writing more effective. I am excited to be able to use this technique in all of my future writings.
