Final Reflection

For my English 1302, the purpose of this course was to learn how to find a more reliable

source of your work and how to get the attention of a wide audience in your writing. If you are

writing with a good, reliable source, you are writing as an informed author. Writing with

unreliable or unreliable sources only undermines your trust in a particular audience. For many of

our sources, our professors have suggested using peer-reviewed sources. When a credible source

is peer-reviewed, the academic source is not only written by someone who works or studies in

the particular field you want to write, but the article is "reproduced" by someone in the same

field. It is shown that it has been. Was a field. By using more peer-reviewed articles, you can be

sure that you are using good, reliable resources. A discourse community is a group of one or

more people who work together to maintain or achieve a particular goal. Many of these

communities have achieved these types of goals through different forms of communication. In

writing an essay on the discourse community, our professor wanted to be completely on a

particular topic that would encourage a particular community to agree on that topic. By learning

how to write in rhetorical situations and focusing on the discourse community, we students can

fully understand our subject and make the most of our research at work. I did. Another great

lesson taught in my English 1302 course was to learn how to persuade and discuss a particular

problem. By learning how to write a controversial essay, you can fully understand our stance on

a given topic and explore different perspectives on our topic.

For the first essay I had to write in English course 1302, I had to do a self-experiment. In

this self-experiment, my professor wanted my class, and I wanted to choose a particular "bad"

habit to improve for our own benefit. In this self-experimental essay, we need to fully discuss

and explain the habits we want to change, the benefits of the changes, the processes we have

performed in the experiments, our own experiences, and whether we have seen any

improvements. had. My professor specifically told us not to do dangerous or long-term

experiments. My professor wanted to do something that would take us about a week or two to

test ourselves. Examples of self-experiments for my classmates include not drinking caffeine,

eating vegans, and trying different styles for a week. For my self-experimental essay, I wanted to

try some social cleansing. I'm busy at school, so I think it's very difficult not to be lazy and just

call and not work. I've always heard a lot about the benefits of social cleansing, and this social

cleansing experience was very different. In my essay, I wrote about the process it took, the types

of social cleansing I did, the changes I saw to make this experiment possible, and the benefits I

got from this self-experiment. As I was studying self-experimental essays, I was very surprised

at the benefits of social cleansing. Benefits of social cleansing include weight loss support, time

management, and money savings. To begin, the question asks what I learned in 1301 that I used

in this first essay for 1302, and I have to say that I learned the format from 1301 to 1302. I began

using a specific format from 1301 to 1302, and I have continued to use that format since then,

which includes the introduction, which includes the hook and the thesis, and then moving on

from the introduction to the body paragraphs and then much more. The next question asks what I

learned in 1301 that was not applicable in 1302, and the answer has to be nothing because most,

if not all, of what I learned in 1301 to 1302 had to be applicable in 1302. Every writing strategy I

learned in 1301 has proven to be more than useful in this first essay in 1302. From previous
 Zuniga 3

classes, I would have to agree that almost everything related to writing is applicable to this 1302

essay.For example, this essay was all about a personal experiment in which I tried not to use

social media. It enabled me to be more organized and complete my tasks. One thing I learned

that will not be applicable to other classes is that I do not believe I will need to use this specific

type of essay in my other classes. I believe that creating an experiment with outside research can

help you improve your writing in general because it allows you to gain ideas and then grow them

into even bigger ideas. The following question begins by asking, "What did I learn from this

first essay that I can apply to all of my courses?" My answer would have to be that I learned how

to be more organized.

In my second essay, my professor wanted us to focus on writing about social topics. He

wanted us to find different perspectives on these issues and try to write every page based on that

theme. We were told to find a way to interact with all sides, rather than choosing one side.

Again, there are many topics to choose from in this essay, and some of the topics that existed

were standardized tests, animal tests, free health programs, and gun violence. In my second

essay, I decided to write about the death penalty. I recently heard a lot of controversy over this

particular topic and thought I would find a lot of information on whether the death penalty

should still be a legitimate form of the death penalty, so I chose this topic. For this particular

essay, I tried to write it more back and forth. I wrote that killing someone is economically

easier than being imprisoned for people's taxes and resources, but that's not the case at all, and

it's cheaper to imprison for life than to kill someone for legal costs. Has been proven, doctors and

injections. In this essay, I had the opportunity to write about the pros and cons of the death

penalty, so I thought it would be very easy to write my own words. What did I learn in the first

essay, asks the question. First and foremost, it was a personal experiment. This personal
 Zuniga 4

experiment was not only academic in nature, but it was also about something personal to you.

My personal experience was entirely related to social media. It was to keep myself from using

social media, but the apps would still be on my phone. It was challenging, but I had to get used

to it. Because of how different they are, I didn't necessarily learn anything from the first essay to

this essay. I've also learned nothing from any of my other classes that I could use in this essay.

The first essay, as stated in the preceding paragraph, was about a personal experiment. Which is

obviously carried out by yourself. My personal experiment involved not using social media and

discovering sources that supported my personal experiment that not using social media helps you

become more productive and, in general, may improve your health. Despite the fact that almost

everything I learned on this first essay was not applicable because of how different the essay

was, What I learned in this essay that I could apply to other classes has to be how to use all of

my different sources and how to use them differently.What I mean is that we had to gather ten

different sources because the essay required ten different points of view, which you then had to

describe. That is, I learned how to analyze various points of view in a variety of ways. Then I'll

explain what they all meant on a different level without inserting my own opinions. I believe that

almost everything will be applicable in all of my other classes. Specifically, because of the use of

analyzing and explaining all of the sources. In the previous paragraph, I explained how

everything I learned can be applied to all of my different classes.But I personally believe that

everything that I learned will be able to be applied to all my other classes. I believe that creating

an annotated bibliography and a research analysis essay will help me improve my writing

because an annotated bibliography and a research analysis essay will help me understand the

various points of view of all the different authors who write articles on specific topics. I will be

able to analyze the articles on a different level, and an annotated bibliography will help me gain
 Zuniga 5

more knowledge, which will make writing a research analysis essay easier. One weakness of this

essay had to be gathering all of the sources and then creating all of the annotated bibliographies.

According to one of the comments, the next flaw I had was not attempting to take a side. Another

flaw I had was that I tried not to be as wordy as possible.

In the final essay of my 1302 English class, I was re-instructed to write about social

issues and select aspects. There were many topics to choose from, but to make the job a little

easier, I decided to write about the death penalty again. I chose to oppose the death penalty not

because I oppose the death penalty, but because I felt there was more information to write and

discuss about the death penalty. In this last and last essay, I couldn't write about the other side

compared to the second essay, so I felt a bit problematic. It takes a while to reach the required

number of words and I hesitate very much when I have to write an essay. But I've done a lot of

research based on the death penalty, so I learned a lot. Essay 1 was a personal experiment, while

Essay 2 was neutral on a topic and explained both sides of the issue, as well as having an

annotated bibliography. What did these two essays for essay three teach me? Well, essay one

didn't help much, and essay two helped a lot more than essay one. Essay 2 was helpful primarily

because it was the same topic that we had to use, and the annotated bibliography contained a lot

of information that I could use, as well as assistance with the sources. One thing I learned in

essay one that I didn't use in essay three was to try to speak in the third person for essay one. For

essay three, I did not use pronouns such as the presenter or the experimenter, nor did I speak in

the third person. Everything in essay two, and I mean absolutely everything, was applicable to

essay three. There wasn't much to learn in the third essay; it was mostly about taking a side and

explaining to the reader why your side should be taken. Then go on to explain your reasoning

and so on. In the future, how can this be applied to other classes? For one thing, the reasoning
 Zuniga 6

and elaboration could be useful in future classes.I don't believe I learned anything that won't be

useful in other classes. Everything was fairly straightforward, and I believe that everything will

be applied to other classes in the future. The development of an argument benefits my writing

because it allows me to express myself even when I am unable to use personal pronouns. The

most difficult aspect of this essay was attempting to write 1500 words in general because I felt

there wasn't enough to write about. I felt as if I was always stuck. Every now and then, I get

writer's block. The least difficult part of this essay was deciding on a topic for it because we had

to use the last topic from essay two to now, which made it a lot easier to write.

In the end, the class was more difficult in my opinion. It was not all bad and it was not all

good either. Overall, I think that I have made it.
