    Critical Thinking & Expression Reflection Essay

    During my studies here at BYU, I have had the opportunity to explore a whole new
    world of learning, and I mean that quite literally. The different Spanish courses I have taken
    have allowed me to learn about Latin-America, in all of its beauties and wonders. It has led
    me to utilize different parts of the BYU Harold B. Lee library, so that I may discover
    valuable information to help me develop better techniques on how to write both research
    and argumentative papers.
    As I was searching through my assignments and projects, I found several that I feel
    like are good examples of me utilizing good techniques and resources to write both
    research and argumentative essays, which I will list and explain below.
    In my Spanish 322 Composition class, I was fortunate enough to learn how to write
    and compose a paper in Spanish, using conectores and other techniques to help the paper
    be more fluid. For one of our final projects, we had to choose a topic of which we had to do
    some extensive research and present it in front of the class. I chose to research about sleep
    and how it affects not only the performance of students, but also with adults. There are
    millions of Americans that deal with sleeping disorders, and I was able to research the
    various causes of that and how to prevent such things from happening. I definitely lost
    sleep writing some of these papers, so I definitely feel like I could relate to this topic while I
    was researching it for class.
    There were fun projects that I was able to research for as well. An example that I
    have here is from my Spanish 355 Culture and Civilizations class, where I was asked to
    research about Latin music around the time of the Mexican Revolution. It was a fun
    assignment and I got to learn more about some talented and historical figures that
    contributed to the rich history of music in Latin-America.
    Another paper I chose was from my Spanish 345 Iberian Civilizations class, where
    we focused primarily in the rich history and literature of Spain. Towards the end of this
    class, we were asked to write an argumentative essay about why we think Humanities is
    such a valuable subject to study and how it can benefit us in the present as well as the
    future. I chose a few works of art/literature that we were fortunate enough to study
    throughout the semester, as well as a film to describe their overall significance. Professor
    Stallings also had us read his article titled “The Don Quijote Effect,” which was incredibly
    insightful. This paper helped me reflect on the semester as a whole, as well as the other
    Spanish classes I have taken thus far, to truly understand why the humanities is so valuable
    and how it trains our mind to think in a more analytically and compassionately.
    Several skills that I was able to attain while taking some of these Spanish classes
    were how to write cohesive ideas and paragraphs to represent my research and
    understanding of the topics I chose. I also learned how to be more confident in my speaking
    abilities as I had to present various projects in front of my fellow classmates, and finally, I
    was able to develop my decision making skills as I chose to argue for or against certain
    ideals. As far as goals, I plan to take a more analytical approach to more things in life,
    whether that be when I visit an art exhibit or reading about current events. In addition, I
    want to utilize my improved writing abilities in my future career to connect better with my
    co-workers and family members.
