Dear Professor Fornes:
In this class there has been some ups and some downs dealing with the class in general and my writing. I guess it is the same for all the other students as well. I would like to think that I am improving. Improving is an important thing for me, because I really need to pass this class with a "C" or better. I will know if I have improved at the end of the semester if the grade is what I need and want it to be.
I came into this class worried, because I knew I had some weaknesses that would affect my grade. Granted, I do have some strengths as well. I do well with grammer and mechanics. I, however, have lots of trouble getting information to put into the essays. My essays always seem to come up short in the lenght department.
Every essay that I have to do, that is not just research, comes up short. Sometimes it is drastically short and sometimes I am only missing a few words. I can never seem to figure out what else to put into the essay to make it longer. I have tried putting in specific details, but it still does not come out to be enough. On my first essay dealing with Facebook, my essay was about four hundred words too short. I am pretty sure that my second essay is roughly that short as well.
Knowing that my essays are so short, I need to do something about it if I want to improve. I, somehow, need to find a way to add more words. I can try and add a great deal more detail into the essay. I can also put in my own personal opinion. I may also broaden some ideas or add in a few more to lenghten it.
I know that writing is very important now and later in life. Now, because I need it to get the grades that I want. Later, because my career will require it. As a crime scene investigator, I will need to know how to write down evidence and know hoe to write crime reports. If I do not know how to write correctly I will not suceed in life as a whole.
I plan to try my best in the future on my essays. That is really all I can do. I will try to put more effort into it. Also, hopefully, I will lengthen my essays. By lengthening them, they might even become better as a whole. I really hope to make them better and longer.
Sincerely,
Heather Spivey
