Process Reflection
When I was beginning in ENGL 301, I set out with the goal of improving my technical writing. I wrote on the homepage of my blog that:
I expect this course to improve my technical writing the most. I have more experience with other topics, such as professional communication and networking, but less experience with technical writing. As such, I hope to significantly improve the quality of my technical writing by understanding what “good technical writing” is.
At this concluding point in the course, I can confidently say that I have met my goals of better understanding technical writing and improving my abilities as a technical writer.
Skills & Strengths
My strengths as an ENGL 301 student are well suited to professional work. I have a keen eye for details, construct coherent and logical narratives, and deliver work in a high-quality and professional manner.
