As this semester has come to an end, I have encountered and fixed numerous writing issues. The last essays showed significant improvement of my skills throughout this class. I have gained experience on my greatest weaknesses such as comma splices, first person shift, and going off topic in the conclusion. I kept making those mistakes in the beginning, however I managed to adapt and learn the right way of writing a well written essay. It really shows that experience and time is the best way to fix these common mistakes made by an average writer. As the final approaches for this class, I am fully prepared on what to expect, and I will assure that I will implement the various skills I have learned in this UNIV 150 class. I most likely wouldn’t be where I am in writing if it weren’t for this class; I am proud I took this class so I can further my writing skills in future classes here at Old Dominion University.
