Journal entry #10
In the process of exploring literacy in
English 201 class, I have significantly improvement on basic writing skills
such as citing a source properly, use the formal language, structure a paper,
writing a clear thesis statement and etc. The course makes me aware of the importance
of literacy. I realized that writing a paper requires multiple skills, it
included structuring, proofreading, editing, and citing skills. I recall the
first paper I wrote for the class, extensive grammatical and citation errors were
throughout the paper. The global structure are important, but the local
structure can also be costly in term of points. I understood that writing a
paper is like crafting a fine piece of art, which need improving and editing
through its process.
The citing skill I learned in this class
help me a lot. Knowing how to cite others work and though is a crucial ability
in all academic fields. We are able to utilize others’ research result to add
credibility to our own paper, at the same time avoiding plagiarism. In addition, I would have to improve my
grammar. It is hard for me to comprehend complex grammars, however I would
write more, and find someone edit my work.
