For the last three units, I worked on various writings and found out my weakness and bad habits in writing. However, even though I submitted both the draft and the final version for the formal report, still many of my writings have not been revised after I submitted them. I revised the writings before the submission, but the feedback was not reflected in most of my writings.
On the other hand, while working on the web folio, I definitely had to write some new postings, but most of the works were revising the former writings, or working based on them. The process was very helpful in improving my weaknesses.
About Me
In this part, I revised in rewrote the biography, resume and application package I submitted before in this course. Since this course was not my first opportunity to write to introduce myself, it was quite familiar topic to me that I have worked a lot before. Even so, I still could found some mistakes and points to improve in my resume and letters. My experience in current field is very few. I only learned a year in this field, and have no working experience. For these reasons, a few points were repeated all over the writings in the resume, cover letter, and the request letters. But even though my resume is not that outstanding, the writing experience itself is really helpful since it makes me use rephrasing and cutting out the redundant words while explaining details. Writing a great resume with a few experience is definitely not an easy job, but I learned that it can be displayed better by my writing skills.
My Works
This part was consisted of revisions. I had to revise my former reflections and many works I have done in this course. The most important lesson I learned in this course was the importance of reviewing, but before this assignment, I did not take time to review the works already submitted. In other words, I received feedback in every stage of writings, but I just used it for next assignment, not reflecting the feedback in the reviewed writing. I still felt my writing is getting better. However, this process made me feel that I still have a lot of weaknesses to improve. Reading the works while considering the feedback was a great help in revising them and made me find out the points I could have done better if I understood the former feedback entirely.
Even before this assignment, I tried to remember the feedback I got from the professor or the team members. Still, I felt it was hard to reflect on the feedback entirely when working on new assignments. Writing on new topic made me concentrated more on creating the main contents than improving writing skills. Therefore, this assignment was helpful in understanding the feedback and accepting it. I hope you can also feel my improvement in writings.
