I learned quite a lot from my first written assignment in Professor Hays’ class. Within my first Critical Response assignment responding to the Adler, LaMott, and Bradbury sources, I was able to analyze and synthesize my sources well. I utilized evidence from all three sources and displayed that I understood them with complexity. However, I do need to work on improving my grammar skills. I need to better learn how to use quotations, commas, and periods when citing a source. In order to fix this mistake, I can utilize the Easy Writer book as well as online resources such as Purdue Owl. With these resources, I practiced and learned where to place my commas and periods after quoting a line of text from a source. I can achieve a better grade next time by avoiding grammar errors thus ensuring clarity to my paper. I can also work on making my paragraphs more organized and focused by inserting transitional words.
