What I enjoyed most about my learning in this class is expanding on my understanding of the writing process behind the final product. Now I understand the significance of drafting, feedback, and revisions when writing web content. I also think I've gotten better at thinking more critically about my own ideas instead of simply trying to meet the class requirement.

The thing that I like the most about learning is being able to understand what I am learning and then being able to use it in real life. If I am learning something that I really can't apply to my life outside of just the general education life then I wouldn't say that I really like that, as it does not feel as meaningful. Being able to apply it to my ordinary life, just makes what I learned more meaningful and makes it feel like there is a purpose to it.

When reflecting upon my writing process and many of the materials and resources we've discussed throughout this course, I am most proud of my updated revision process. Before enrolling in this class, I believed that the revision process was one final read through and check of your essay. However, I realize now that it is much more extensive. The feedback element is also much larger than I previously thought. When asking for feedback on an essay, it is essential to first provide readers with a strong essay, then give readers clear and direct questions on specific elements you would like critiqued and looked over. Then, once readers have provided some feedback, the writer may sort through it and add things in to strengthen their essay. Revising is also much deeper than just grammar and spell checks. It entails the overall flow of your essay, the tone set for the audience, an audience analysis, multimodal elements, and much more. All these things together help to improve a writers revision and writing process.

For the final paper, are we restructuring the questions to form a essay, or is it okay if we answer the questions with a simple Q&A format (question in bold and our answer below sort of thing).  Also for the examples that we pull from, does it have to be a different example for each question? Or if we’ve garnered multiple things from one assignment can we reflect how it applies to the prompt in question?

I’m proud of how much more confident I am in my writing now. The detailed feedback we got on every assignment helped me actually see my growth from draft to draft. Before, my writing process was kind of messy, and I'd just hope for the best. Now I feel like I have a real structure. I worked out a lot of bad habits thanks to this class and honestly feel way more prepared for future writing projects.

Now that I have taken this class, I will begin to figure out the audience I will be writing for, as well as, the content and context of the platform. The class has really helped me identify how I can look at a platform and all of the attributes of it and write geared towards the information architecture, and the overall purpose of the message. I’ve learned that writing isn't just about what I want to say, but how to shape it so it fits the expectations, layout, and tone of the space it’s in, whether that’s a website, social media, or another digital platform. I will continue to draft and do more drafting and peer editing before I post the final version.
