Academic Writing

Friday, January 25^th

Hi everyone,

So this is going to be my last blog entry and I will briefly reflect on the last few months. I think this course was a great opportunity to improve my writing skills, and as far as I can assess myself I think I also could improve my overall English. In general, I feel more confident in writing and I could see better results in other courses as well. All the tips we got from Mr. Brewster will be part of my next challenging task, namely my thesis. The paper was a good possibility to go through the different stages of writing and see the process of developing a scholarly paper. I learned that even with a precise proposal and outline anything could change in the end. I also saw the importance of focusing on one aspect and narrowing the topic down to one problem, one idea. This will be helpful for me, as I have to come up with a proposal for my thesis soon. Thanks for all the interesting discussions during the term and for your honest feedback during the lessons. Have a good start into the next summer semester,

Caroline
