Reflection Cover Letter




This class was so different than any online class I have taken before. It really took me a little while to get everything where I was confident and fully understood what I was supposed to be doing which was around the third deadline. I have only taken classes on Web-CT but I like new experiences and challenges.
I have waited a little longer in my college career to take this English class so some of this was just a refresher for me. One thing that I did learn was how to better sort through my research. Normally I would just go through and pick just about everything I found on a subject. Each deadline helped me with this because I had to find at three or four new articles. Through this class, I learned how to narrow my subject more before I actually go and research it. This also helps me manage my time online because I know exactly what I’m researching.
Another thing that I improved on was my citations. I do not like them because sometimes I cannot find what the MLA book is asking for then I do them incorrect. I also love how we peer reviewed each others’ work. This makes us stronger proofreaders as well as letting a fresh set of eyes read our papers to make sure everything makes sense.
Even though the class is just about over, I still need to continue to work on everything I already mentioned. We never stop learning and there is always something that we can continue to improve on. I am never going to be the perfect writer so I must strive to be as close to perfect as I can be.
