10 weeks ago I was so upset because I could not begin to understand how I would get through an entire term of writing. Its my least favorite thing to do by the way! However, I'm happy to say its over and I actually lived to tell about it. The syllabus seemed so overwhelming the first time I read it but the actual class was a lot smoother than it looked. Professor Wyatt was the absolute best, would not have made it without her. The way the classes were broken up into sections made it a lot easier to understand.
Looking back on it now I have a much better understanding of what does into a paper and what doesn't. How you get to that process and the steps along the way to make writing a lot easier than I once thought. A skill that I know I will use in my studies will be brainstorming and the paramedic method. I was just amazed at the fact that it really works and makes your paper sound more professional. It eliminates all of the rambling and run-on sentences and really simplifies the message. I will definitely work more on that so I one day perfect it.
I am still walking away not 100% about citing, what APA format really should look like, what needs parenthesis so forth and so on. I'm still a little rusty on that so I will need more help in that department.
To a new student coming into this class I would wish him/her all the luck in the world and encourage them to take notes and ask questions. Don't be afraid to mess up or that your writing wont measure up. We are all learning. Relax and take a deep breath, its not as bad as it looks.
