    Alex reflects on their writing skills improving through better formatting techniques learned in class such as leaving more space above headers and using serif fonts. While Alex's writing skills did not necessarily improve, their ability to format writing well helped them understand how to present writing effectively. Alex achieved their goal of communicating ideas effectively but wished the class focused more on writing reports, as that is a skill needed for their co-op experiences. The instructions assignment stood out as Alex applied new formatting techniques to significantly improve its presentation.

    Reflection Essay

    I don’t think my overall writing skills necessarily got any better or any worse throughout
    this semester. I do think the formatting of my writing has significantly improved this semester.
    Learning simple formatting tips, like leaving more space above a header than below it or using a
    serif font in online documents, are simple things that I think have helped me greatly improve
    how my writing is presented. I also think getting the opportunity to review and edit many types
    of writing throughout the semester has helped me learn what not to do when formatting a
    document, which I think was very helpful too. Presentation is often just as important as the
    actual content of a piece of writing itself. I think this class has helped me understand the value
    of good formatting, and it has helped me understand how to format many kinds of writing well.

    My goal for this class was to improve upon my ability to effectively communicate
    information and ideas in my writing. I think I was able to accomplish this throughout the
    semester, mostly because I learned how I could improve the formatting of my writing from this
    class. One thing I wanted to improve on, though, was writing reports or presentations. In my
    limited co-op experience, I’ve had to write several emails, written reports, or PowerPoints
    where I needed to report findings from research, observations, or test experiments. While we
    got a little bit of practice with this in this class from the white paper assignment, I think I
    expected this kind of writing to be a greater focus in this class because I’d had to do lots of this
    writing in my time as a co-op. Overall though, I think the improvements I made in formatting
    from this class are going to improve the quality of my reports in the future. Because of this, I
    think this class still helped me achieve this goal, even though I didn’t get to practice report-
    writing as much as I thought I would.

    I think the assignment I’m most proud of was the instructions assignment. Because it
    was so early in the year, my initial couple drafts for this assignment weren’t formatted very
    well. The final draft that I submitted for this assignment used some formatting techniques that I
    had never used before, and I just think it presents the information significantly better now. If
    there was one assignment I would add to this class, it would be to write a report in a sort of
    professional sense. Like I mentioned earlier, writing reports was something I had to do regularly
    at my co-op, so I just think it would be helpful to get practice with this. I think the one
    assignment I would change in this class is the engagement project. I personally think it would be
    best as a regular presentation instead of a story sphere. Presentations are also something I
    have had to work on in my time as a co-op, so I just think it would be more applicable for most
    students to get practice on presentations.
