However, as each assignment went by I gained more confidence on what to write. In my first critical reading assignment I was unsure on how to write and deliver my ideas, but on the next critical reading assignment I had a clearer idea on what needs to be written and how I wanted to write it. Therefore, producing a more organized and nicely flowing respond. Participating in small group discussions broaden my scope and allowed me to accept new ideas that I could incorporate into my writings.

I believe that my use of the writing process helped me excel on this paper. Without a clear set of steps it would have been hard to complete on time. Overall the writing process is extremely valuable to

Peer editing was never my thing up until this year, I did not like other reading my paper and I did not really like reading other’s papers.
