Okay, so this is the next part of that set of 3 entries on my abilities. I'll go after Critical Thinking first. Now, I think that even before this class I was already good at this, but I'll honestly say I think my skills have improved a handful at this. This relates to how I am as a writer by saying that I can read through a paper, then can go over and analyze just how exactly the points are important. That's all I can really say about it, I guess.
As for Writing an Academic Paper, I really don't know what to say. One thing for sure hasn't changed: I still hate writing papers. But, I can say that I'm better at writing them however, which is something all writers need, which is the ability to write papers that are good. As a writer, I personally don't like to compose these pieces of text, but I will if I have to. That's how I've been in the past, and I still am to this day. Yet, I still think about this, but I can't think of anything intelligent to say here. Damn it...
Um, I don't think my use of citing has changed at all. All of my big papers which I've written this quarter have all had to cite stuff. But I think that I've learned another way of citing things at least, and that's that odd APA format, because originally I only knew of MLA format. That's a start for college at least.
My theses tend to be more organized now, and that must be a good thing somewhat. I can't explain why though.. But also, one more thing, I also declare that I am better at revising and editing these papers for school, so I think that this class overall is something I needed to take, especially for my first quarter in college, so that way I'm ready to write more papers as I progress through college.
Last part of the SLO stuff coming up, keep reading these. Whoever is actually interested in them.
