Prior to this class, I was not confident in my ability to string together multiple texts in order to support my own argument. This is important to me because it has allowed me to see my potential as an academic writer, in addition to learning various techniques that I can use in the future such as the BEAM method, the paramedic method, and the backwards outlining.]]> 2021-12-07 18:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934297882 bgsanders https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934299982 In this class I learned that I am a better writer than I believed myself to be. My skills with the writing process has improved through outlining processes, revision strategies, and peer reviewing. This is the MOST important to me because prior to this class I held onto the concept of a "genius writer" and thought that I was lacking as a writer if I couldn't have all my thoughts come out clearly and well developed in a first draft. I no longer have that misconception and believe I am a better writer because of it. ]]> 2021-12-07 18:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934299982 jrrechs https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934300885 The most important thing that I have learned in UWP is to use writing as a tool that serves more purpose than just trying to get a good score on an assignment. Learning to use writing as a reflective tool throughout this class is an invaluable skill to continue on with the rest of college. Writing reflectively is something that I learned through the types of assignments we did in this course. I learned more about myself as a writer by realizing what my strengths and weaknesses were in my writing. By having some freedom to discuss our own opinions in our college writing for the first time I was able to explore my own ideas more than I have been able to before. ]]> 2021-12-07 18:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934300885 derwu https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934301345 The most important thing I've realized about myself in writing is that I'm in the same boat as a lot of other people. I wouldn't consider myself a natural writer but that's okay because most other people aren't natural writers either. Writing is a skill that can be developed over time, so the most important thing is to keep writing and to improve over time. I think this is important for me to realize about myself as it boosts my confidence as a writer and encourages me to strive to become a better writer.]]> 2021-12-07 18:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934301345 tfharding https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934301581 The most important thing I've learned about myself as a writer in this class is that I need to slow down and reflect on each task I have been given. This is important to me because slowing down to reflect before jumping into a task helps me make sure that I have understood the entirety of the task at hand. Understanding a task is the first step to completing any task.]]> 2021-12-07 18:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934301581 hzhen2 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934301670 The most important thing I've learned about myself as a writer is that organization of notes and ideas is crucial in writing a good paper in a timely manner. This was the most important thing I learned about myself because I applied this finding for many of the assignments we have done in class like the Horizontal Reading Chart, the Synthesis Paper, and the Literacy Self-Study project. The finding of organization of notes can help me with other courses at Davis.]]> 2021-12-07 18:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934301670 rmdnguyen https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934301734 The most important thing I learned about myself as a writer in this class is that reading is more important than ever. In high school, you can get away with skimming through the reading material and not really understanding what I am reading. But I learned when reading through the first 5 sources that it wasn't sufficient and my understanding of the sources was not up to standards. This is the most important to me as this class broke a bad habit that I had throughout high school. This was crucial as I now understand that skimming and speed reading isn't good enough for comprehension. At least I learned my lesson now, instead of learning it too late in my upper writing courses.]]> 2021-12-07 18:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934301734 nbtanaka https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934301873 The most important thing I have learned as a writer through this class is that writing takes a lot of time. This was the most important thing I learned because I never really understood the full process of brainstorming, writing, and revising. This was the most important thing to me because it made me realize that writing cannot be rushed and is a process that takes time no matter what.]]> 2021-12-07 18:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934301873 dnalkhunaizi https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934302035 The most important thing I've learned throughout this quarter would be that there's no such thing as a bad writer. I believe this is essential for me to understand so that I wouldn't give up on anything I write. There will always be room for improvement to make the paper better and the end result will be decent with proper revision. ]]> 2021-12-07 18:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934302035 18012712 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934302317 The most important thing that I have learned about myself in this class is that I am important in writing. This class revolved around me, and I discovered that I am important in my writing. My opinions actually matter. This was the most important thing that I learned because previously, my opinions weren't important for my writing. Learning that my opinions actually matter has helped me better synthesize my arguments and what I'm writing about because I am able to focus on myself. I have become much more confident in writing now that I know that I actually matter in my writing.]]> 2021-12-07 18:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934302317 damojica1 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934302592 One of the most important things I learned about myself as a writer while in class is that I am a creative writer. What I mean by that is I recognized a tendency to go into a writing assignment with details I already know and I use those details to transform my essay or assignment into something that I can progressively work on. I find this important because I see it as a personal ability. For example, I know some people have a hard time starting their drafts or work not knowing what to say whereas I tend to dive straight into the assignment with something that comes straight to my head and I build off it. ]]> 2021-12-07 18:47:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934302592 nsanderson5 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934302690 The most important thing that I learned about myself as a writer was that revision within your own writing is so important. It was previously something I didn't put a lot of emphasis on, because I think previously i have never been able to see how beneficial it is, and I have never had to ability to revise an essay while receiving useful and good advice like with eli review. ]]> 2021-12-07 18:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934302690 spblackw https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934302854 The most important thing I learned about myself as a writer in this class is probably that it is okay to completely start over a writing assignment if I am not happy with my current work. This is the most important to me because before this class I was always scared of starting over, and I would never attempt it even if it was the best thing to do. Now I can start my work over if I realize that I am going in a different direction that the prompt asks me to. This makes writing a lot less scary for me because it makes me more okay with making mistakes. This also makes me a more confident writer.]]> 2021-12-07 18:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934302854 mtward1 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934304044 The most important thing I learned about myself as a writer in this class is I can always improve my writing. The revision process is key in developing good writing and I have begun to effectively use it in all my writing assignments. This skill is especially important to me because I used to turn in writing the second I was finished instead of taking time to look it over. Now I would never do that and I understand the importance of the revision process.]]> 2021-12-07 18:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934304044 diemendoza https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934304066 The most important thing I learned about myself was that then it came to revisions, I was better at giving revision suggestions  than I was at self analyzing. I often gave certain comments about my peers' writing, and although I may have had the same room for improvement in my own writing, I could not always spot it myself. This was the most important discovery because from here forward I am more aware of what things to look for when making self revisions.]]> 2021-12-07 18:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934304066 etperez1 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934306387 The most important thing I have learned this quarter is how to properly revise. Previously I found myself editing rather than revising by finding synonyms for words or changing sentence structure. I have learned that in order to revise appropriately we must look at the purpose of the text and if it fully supports your argument or main topic. Going into future classes I will definitely have writing assignments and using this new knowledge will help me execute my assignment appropriately.  ]]> 2021-12-07 18:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934306387 sgkotwal https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934306422 I think the most important thing I learned about myself as a writer in this class is that I learn best by reflecting on what I did and how I can improve. This is the most important to me because I can apply this strategy to all aspects of my life. Knowing the importance of reflection and how to reflect on my work, I can use it in my next courses, career, and future life.]]> 2021-12-07 18:49:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934306422 corpham https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934306705 The most important thing I have learned about myself as a writer in this class is my newfound affinity towards being open-minded in learning new things. Before this class, I was taught to only write in very specific and structured ways, which retrospectively speaking, narrowed my scope as a writer. This is most important to me because this discovery has allowed me to learn new literary concepts and strategies as they have significantly helped me develop as a writer over the course.]]> 2021-12-07 18:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934306705 kanerey https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934306935 One of the most important things I have learned in this course is that it is okay to not have the perfect outcome the first time you write something. For some reason, I had the idea that writing needs to be perfect the first time and if it isn’t perfect, you’re a bad writer. But, I learned that is not the case at all, even famous writers we all look up to don’t even have it right the first time. It is significant to get your ideas out there and just draft everything out, and then revision will help you improve your writing until you feel completely satisfied. Your writing will never be perfect the first time, and just knowing that you must revise no matter what to improve your writing and having faith in the revision process is what makes a writer great.]]> 2021-12-07 18:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934306935 fihapil https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934307531 This year I learned that there is no way to be a perfect writer. I learned that writing is a process where you are always improving and changing your writing style. I found this to be the most important discovery because it showed me that my writing style will vary depending on numerous factors such as the prompt given, the type of writing that needs to be produced ( whether it's argumentative, synthesis, personal, etc.), and of course the type of audience you are addressing. Learning this made me a better writer because rather than trying to produce a perfect piece of writing, I learned to just do my best and remember that y priority is my audience and making sure they understand the point I am trying to get across. This mentality allowed me to be more relaxed and flexible with my writing which lessened my anxiety when it came to big writing assignments. ]]> 2021-12-07 18:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934307531 aaforonda https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934307568   The most important thing that I have learned about myself as a writer in this class was that I am capable of writing with confidence, effectively revising (in the right way) my writing and being able to express and show my thoughts to my peers and professor to be reviewed. This is the most important thing that I have learned to me because I have always worried, and still somewhat do, about expressing my writing in the most 'correct' way possible, however realizing that your writing will never be perfect and has to go through tons of revision to meet your own standards gives me a sense of acceptance with my drafts.]]> 2021-12-07 18:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934307568 dalnujaidi https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934308229 According to me, one of the most crucial and important thing I learned was the power of allowing and the use of other perspectives, besides myself. Back then, I would never take into consideration anyone's opinion regarding my writing. After this class, I realized that the more perspectives, the more arguments, ideas, and point of views that is ought to strengthen my paper. In the future, I will definitely look for others perspective in relation to my writing to strengthen it. Listening to other perspectives is also being part of a successful writer, which I'd like to be part of.]]> 2021-12-07 18:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934308229 William_PS https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934309258 The most important thing that I learned about myself as a writer in this class is that I am surprisingly good at writing. I always used to doubt my writing, setting the bar way too high for almost all of my assignments. However, this class taught me to be more confident with my writing style and any writing decisions I may make. This is especially true when I read the Edwards and Paz article, discovering that these feelings towards writing are normal. I'm glad I finally started believing my writing.]]> 2021-12-07 18:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934309258 tqsui https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934309264 I think the most important thing I have studied this year is integrated writing. Firstly, it allowed me to understand the format of MLA. I believe this is how I will be writing regularly in the future as I go forward in my studies. Secondly, I also tried to get away from the limitations and constraints of writing in high school. This has definitely made my writing read with more energy and spirit. Also using more sources makes the analysis of the essay more objective and comprehensive. I am glad to learn that college writing has made my writing skills more prominent as well, and that I will no longer limit myself to edit, but will make plans for large revisions with the reader in mind. Of course, after this period of relentless practice, I have come to understand revision to a great extent. I understand that a good piece of writing requires constant revision. Therefore, I abide by the requirement to make a suitable revision plan before each revision.

Before this class I would only briefly revise my work and from this class I learned that my writing can always be improved even more. This was important to me because I now know how to revise my work to improve my writing. ]]> 2021-12-07 18:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934313359 riisingh https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934314320 I think that the most important thing I learned about myself as a writer in this class is that I struggled to include my opinion in my writing. Prior to this class I did not have much practice with writing in which I would have to state my opinion and make an argument. After completing the synthesis writing assignment, I learned how to state my opinions in my writing in order to make an argument and explain the significance of what I was writing about. ]]> 2021-12-07 18:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934314320 jjbian https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934314977 As a writer, I think the most important thing I learned is to reflect and revise after writing. I also learned that we need to think in the process of writing. Writing without thinking process is meaningless; and writing is a process of mutual communication. Writing cannot be closed. Only mutual communication and learning can make a work perfect. These are very important to me because I didn't reflect and revise every writing before, because I think it's a very troublesome step; and I had no chance to exchange my articles with others before, and no one pointed out my shortcomings. But in this class, I learned that writing needs communication. Only by communicating with each other can make the work more better and understand my shortcomings. I also understand the importance of thinking, reflect and revise, because they are also important steps. Without these steps, the article cannot have a soul and will not become perfect.]]> 2021-12-07 18:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934314977 tsytian https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934315232 In this class, the most important thing that l learned about myself as a writer is the ability of how to revise my essay. 

Prior to this class, the only thing I know about revising an essay is to correct the spell of the words, the frequency of the sentence or to basic rhetorical analysis. Learning how to revising an essay provides me the ability of how to make and know the passage's structure. I have a more direct understanding of the structure of the article, such as beam. When I am modifying the article, I am not only concerned about the grammatical errors of the article, but about the structure of the article. Learning how to modify my own article enables me to understand readers' comments on the article and self-reflect on the problems in my article and then modify it.]]> 2021-12-07 18:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934315232 dmejia47 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934316810 One of the most important things I learned about myself in this class is how much I value having feedback on my work. This is the most important to me because before I would always just write a paper or do any assignment and then question why I got certain grades or what I could have done better. With feedback I am able to approach things with more clarity and get an actual understanding of what and where I need to improve.]]> 2021-12-07 18:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934316810 arachen https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934319305 One thing that I discovered as a writer and learned about myself during this quarter is that I’m never afraid of writing things, but sometimes I might feel reluctant to read articles. In fact, the annotations I did this term helped me feel more willing to read since I would have to read these articles so as to take annotations. Moreover, writing literacy journals have helped me feel more comfortable with writing as we write these journals on a regular basis. I consider writing these journals as my continuous output, and I just feel more comfortable with writing after I practice more. More importantly, getting peer feedback, and doing my revision plan helped me with my comfort level of writing. These activities made writing easier for me. I believe that feeling comfortable with writing lots of different things is important to my development since college writers always need to write a lot of academic papers. I would definitely have a hard time suffering and feeling overwhelmed from this writing if I didn’t feel comfortable writing different things on a regular basis. It’s meaningful to me as I used to enjoy writing before my senior year of high school. However, I started to feel reluctant to write some of my essays during the fall quarter of my senior year. That made me frustrated last year, so I’m grateful that I’m able to write comfortably at this point again. Moreover, I feel that revision did make my writing journey easier since I would learn the lesson from those drafts that I revised, and had a general idea of where I need to pay more attention in my new writing. I was so glad I was able to improve by doing and completing all my assignments this quarter and learned lots of different things.]]> 2021-12-07 18:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934319305 bezhao1 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934321938 I think the most important thing I learned about myself as a writer is that sometimes it's fine to to be struggling a bit when writing in assignments.  This is important because I keep on thinking to myself that I might be leaning behind on work, but the consistent practice of doing writing assignments will definitely help me in the long run.]]> 2021-12-07 18:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934321938 ambahena2 https://padlet.com/pcserviss/9tlydvopgnw4elle/wish/1934322182 The most important thing i learned about myself as a writer in this class is that i can improve my writing with useful material that is given to me. This is very important because I have always thought my writing would never improve. When I took this class and all the classwork I was assigned helped me develop into a writer and I enjoyed writing because the material was very useful and unique.
