This semester, I’ve been working hard to meet the goals set out in this course. Let’s take a look at how I’ve been doing with each of them.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how people’s attitudes towards language can either empower or oppress others. It’s been eye-opening to see how sticking to certain language norms can give some people more opportunities while leaving others behind. I know I could have explored this topic more deeply by looking at a wider range of perspectives.

From analyzing persuasive essays to writing my own stories, I’ve been exposed to lots of different writing styles and situations. Getting feedback from classmates has helped me improve my writing, but I still need to work on understanding the different techniques used in various types of writing.

I’ve improved my writing process this semester. I’ve learned to read actively, collaborate with others, and revise my work multiple times to make it better. But I know I can keep refining these strategies to make my writing even clearer and more organized.

Learning about rhetorical devices like ethos, pathos, and logos has been interesting, and I’ve tried to use them in my writing to persuade my audience. However, I need to work on using them more consistently and effectively.

In today’s world, knowing how to use both print and digital tools is crucial for communication. I’ve experimented with different formats like essays and presentations, but I know there’s still more I can learn about using technology to reach different audiences.

Overall, I’ve made progress in meeting the course objectives, but there’s still room for improvement. I’m committed to continuing to develop my skills in understanding language attitudes, analyzing different writing styles, refining my writing process, mastering rhetorical strategies, and using technology effectively. With more practice and reflection, I’m confident I can become a better writer and communicator.
