Luis Ramirez DISSCUSION 5

My essay was a valuable learning experience, and I gained important insights into writing. I discovered numerous ways to enhance my work, including the importance of closely following instructions and staying focused on the main topic. One key takeaway was the necessity of being specific and incorporating quotations correctly. I also realized how crucial vocabulary and grammar are, especially when transitioning between ideas to maintain clarity and flow.

Based on the feedback I received, I’ve realized several areas where I can improve my writing. One major issue was my introduction—it did not properly introduce the title and author of the story and article, which is essential for clarity. Additionally, I need to ensure that I fully understand and respond to the assignment prompt. Instead of addressing the task correctly, I misrepresented the argument of the Rader article, which shows that I need to analyze sources more carefully before writing about them.

Another key area for improvement is clarity and specificity in my language. My feedback contained vague statements that did not clearly explain my points. Moving forward, I will be more precise by identifying specific background information and evidence rather than making broad, unclear statements.

Formatting is another aspect I need to work on. I overlooked discussing the student’s formatting and also need to review MLA style for my own work. This will help ensure my citations and overall structure meet academic standards.

while my essay had some strengths, I recognize that I need to refine my thesis, improve my clarity, and pay closer attention to both content and formatting. I will use this feedback to strengthen my future writing and produce more polished, well-structured essays.

I put in my best effort, but I also acknowledge that there is always room for improvement. Moving forward, I will apply what I have learned from this feedback to refine my writing skills and strive for a higher grade in future assignments.
