academic

When it comes to writing academic essays, what do you feel your strengths are? Your weaknesses? Don't concentrate on what past teachers might have told you about your writing - I want to know what you think about your own writing. For instance, do you think you come up with good ideas, but struggle with organizing it on the page, or do you feel pretty confident about expressing your ideas in the body paragraphs, but struggle with writing intros and conclusions. What are some of the things that you feel make writing academic essays challenging? In light of what you learned about academic writing in ENGL 1301, where do you think you improved your academic writing and where do you want to focus for continued improvement? What are some of the things about rhetoric and the writing process that you didn't know before or that you think will help you as you write essays this year
