Overall<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

By<\/span> taking the ENGL 301 class,\u00a0 I learned how to write in business, professional and technical contexts. Meanwhile, I also find much weakness that I need to improve in the future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Strength and Things I learned<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

First, I am familiar with designing job-oriented website (LinkedIn and Web folio) which helps me in career development and also master more strategies and techniques for building job-search material such as resumes, cover letter, and request for reference letters. Second, I learned how to write three different types of definition and workplace memo and letter. It includes writing the parts, formats, and design features of workplace memo and letters. Third, I learned how to\u00a0work collaboratively with a team and how to peer review the assignments of my teammates. During this peer review process, I reflected on my writing and developed self-editing skills.\u00a0 Finally, I studied the process of writing the formal report, including writing proposal, outline, progress report and final formal report. I also learned how to design and implement a survey and search source online.<\/span><\/p>\n

Weakness<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

During this class, I found much weakness in my writing ability. The most important issue is grammar. From the review from my instructor and teammates, they all pointed out that there is more or less grammar issues in every assignment. I realized I lack much fundamental grammar knowledge (e.g., usage of “a” and “the” and tense consistency)\u00a0 which I should review them in the future. The next big weakness is sentence structure and word choice when I write the assignments, I found that my sentence structure is simple and monotonous. Most of the structure I use is subject-predicate structure while my teammates know how to vary the sentence structure and make their article more fluent and interesting. The word choice is also a challenge for me since my vocabulary is limited. I would continue to read more books and articles in the future and learned their sentence structure and word choice under different situations and environments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Career Development<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

This course helped me a lot regarding my career development in the future. First of all,\u00a0strategies and techniques for building job-search material such as resumes, cover letter and request for reference letter increase my opportunities to find my dream job. Second, learning writing three different types of definition and workplace memo enhances technical communication in the job environment. Third,\u00a0working collaboratively with a team develops my team sprite during the work. Last, learning writing the formal report strengthens my research ability which is a useful skill for many employers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I will bring what I learned in this course to my career (Coop and full time) in the future, and I will try my best correct my defects and shortcoming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
