Below is an overall reflection of my learning experience in this course.
Learning Process
Strengths:
With a generous number of opportunities to write, I feel as if my technical writing has become increasingly efficient. It feels as if I can communicate verbally and orally with improved clarity and precision.
Weaknesses:
One critical weakness I’ve uncovered in my writing is an occasional tendency to overlook the tone my documents express. I became aware of this in a peer review I’ve written. From this, I’ve learned to consider how my documents appear to their readers and to revise them.
Assignments:
Strengths:
I feel like I’ve implemented ‘Writing with YOU attitude’ consistently in most assignments for the course. Perhaps it was one of the most crucial elements of writing in the course. I consistently wrote to persuade and appeal to the reader, often being politely courteous.
I also feel like I’ve been remarkably organized with my writing. I recall checking the textbook to further my writing skill and utilizing various checklists to ensure my writing meets standards of quality and effectiveness.
Weaknesses:
My approach follows the textbook closely, in addition to utilizing my past experience in communication. Unfortunately, in the future, I may still be subject to occasional errors in communicating my aims. These errors may potentially result in missed opportunities and other setbacks.
I aim to mitigate and reduce as many potential errors in my communication as I can. Though my communication may not always be perfect, I aim to have it as close to perfection as I can.
Discussion: Career
Because of my chosen career path in Computer Science, my Web Folio will inevitably be an integral tool for future endeavours.
My web folio will be a major nexus for my career path. Links to my tech profiles, as well as my programming projects will be here.
One thing is certain, however. I feel as if my technical communication, whether it’s writing or speaking, is drastically improved. I look forward to taking my newly improved skills towards future aspirations.
