This course has taught me how to write. I've learned how to tackle the main idea of a prompt, the techniques I need, and how to construct my writing. I didn't know how to effectively present my ideas before I took this course, no matter if it was an essay, freestyle, plainstyle, or an analysis of a book. Knowing how to write and convince my audience of an argument is critical in life, no matter what career I may pursue. It took me a while to realize how to support my claim, or how to even figure out what the prompt was asking but after months into this year, I think I can confidently say that I have more of an idea about how to present my topics. I think that hardest part was allowing to let my work flow in a sequential manner. It's a challenge that I have improved on.
Good summary. I feel the most challenging aspect of our writings has been analyzing and comparing excerpts from the closed prompts Holmes has given us-- did you find that challenging as well?
