Introductory Reflective Essay

Writing was challengeable for me because as far as I remember my progress in writing I always confronted substantial difficulties, while developing my writing skills. at the same time, I am conscious of the necessity to develop my writing skills to achieve academic success. Nevertheless, now, looking back and recalling my writing skills and experience before the beginning of the course and now, I see significant improvements. At the same time, I do not think that I have improved my writing skills only. Instead, the course helped me to change myself in a way.
First, I should say that I have developed my organizational skills and above all I have improved my self-organization. What I mean is the fact I was always running out of time and I had to do all the task just by the deadline. However, after the beginning of the course, I learned that I need to organize my day, my schedule, my work and learning effectively. Otherwise, I would be unable to accomplish the course successfully. This is why I planned my daily schedule and used my time effectively.
Furthermore, I learned how to find information independently of my instructors and educators. In fact, now if I need to conduct a research or just find some information I know how to do it and it helps me a lot not only in my learning but in my regular life.
In addition, I improved my writing skills consistently and I am really glad that I became more proficient in academic writing. Moreover, I develop my critical writing skills which help me to be more analytical when I am writing that is particularly useful in my learning. At the same time, the development of critical writing skills contributed to the development of my critical thinking.
In such a way, I have a great experience and enjoyed the class that proved to be very useful for me.
