An Annotated Bibliography Of Writing - 881 Words

This semester in English 102, I can definitely say my time was well spent. Each assignment that I completed benefited me as a student so that I could become a better reader and writer. With the skills I learned in this class, I will use them to my advantage in future English courses and other educational endeavors. Being able to read, write, research, and think are important skills to have in order to be successful in any area of study. Nevertheless, I believe that by taking this class I was able to reinforce and expand on my skills I took away from English 101. When I first entered this class, I felt like I had a strong grasp on the concepts I was taught it English 101 to be successful. I was already familiar with MLA quoting and works cited because my previous instructor was very stringent when it came to citing and formatting things correctly. I also had a pretty good understanding of an annotated bibliography and how to write one since I did it in English 101 and in high school. Researching was another area I felt confident in because I spent a great deal of time in previous English classes and other courses evaluating and critiquing different sources. For example, coming into this class I knew about the Academic Search Premier and LexisNexis databases being good starting places to find credible sources. As far as terminology goes, I had common knowledge on the elements of literature and drama terminology such as conflict, plot, character, setting, imagery, and irony.Show MoreRelatedAnnotated Bibliography On Writing Across The Curriculum1558 Words   |  7 Pages Annotated Bibliography Writing Across the Curriculum EDU 630 Fall 2014 Karen Tootle William Carey University The concept of writing across the curriculum (WAC) is a contemporary movement founded on the belief that writing in all content areas improves not only writing skills, but also increases content knowledge.
