As the semester draws to a close, I will be reflecting on my body of work and what that says about me as a writer. I want to explore my process, examine my strengths and weaknesses, and measure my progress with the course goals.
I started this course a little bit cocky, believing my writing chops to be above average, for an engineer. The genres explored in this course forced me to step out of my rhetorical comfort zone. Technical writing has been the cornerstone of my university writing experience. Dry and often rigid (I've had a professor who banned the use of the phrase "due to"), the purpose of this genre has been to communicate learning as clearly and concisely as possible.
This course has enabled me to focus more on the process, rather than the content, of my writing. By exploring different genres and styles, I've adapted my writing to different audiences, developed arguments and established a reviewing/editing process to refine my writing. Through this blog, I will explore and reflect on this process.
