ENGL 298 B: Intermediate Writing Social Sciences   Autumn 2011, University of Washington

Writing papers have not always been my passion, but I know that it stands a crucial part in my educational knowledge. I have seen many different types of writing over my whole twelve years of school through different teachers. Each teacher in some ways would show their own ways of writing, some would write with more detail than others. This last four years there has come a time in which I have realized that I need to engage in other more proficient ways of writing. This thought began on the day of graduation, when I found myself going to orientation several weeks later.
So far in the English class I have been struggling a bit on how to write the paper in much more detailed topics. One main thing that I have seen that differs to other writing is that in this class, our interest is on engaging the text to provide more ideals toward the topic. This was a method that was new to me because in other writing grades, our task was just to use five to six paragraphs to explain a topic with an intro, body, and conclusion. This method is different now because our ability is much more due to the assigned readings. So far I have taken some time to get accounted with college writing, but I am interested in how it will improve my writing overall before I would not even brainstorm because I was accustomed to write free hand.
