Throughout this semester I have learned that there are many steps in reading and writing, it's not just one or two. Also, you cannot procrastinate when trying to write a good paper, it has to be done in a timely manner. As a reader, I feel as though I have taken more time to read a section or paper so that I can fully comprehend the piece to the best of my ability. I feel I read and give my opinions more now than I ever have. As a writer, I feel that I have made progress. I ask myself questions that I think the audience would ask and answer them in my paper so the confusion level is lower. Also, overall I have been able to express myself throughout my papers. Even though I have made progress, there were also some bumps in the road. I had some confusion at times as to what the teacher was actually looking for. I also had trouble with being able to tell the significant differences between ethos, pathos, and logos.

1. I want to have an A in this course.
2. Create a better schedule for myself to get things done in a timely and more efficient manner.
3. Get other students opinions on my paper and see what their point of view is on it and take it into consideration when correcting my paper.
4. Use of more descriptive words in my papers.
5. I want to rewrite my papers so that I can get a better grade.
