What I've learned

So I guess this is the part where we all comment about how great this class is and how awesome our teacher is to get some browny points. The truth is, I really did learn a lot of beneficial things from this class that will help me in my future. This class improved my writing skills, thanks to Kats amazing purple pen, taught me to always write to my target reader(s), and a lot of little pointers along the way.

I liked that Kat put example papers up on the board. This helped me learn what she was looking for and what made a good memo/paper. It helped us all learn from eachother. Also, as much as I dislike reading textbooks, the textbook from this class did have a lot of good information and the guidelines were very clear and organized. This textbook is probably one that I will keep for future reference. I also liked that it reiterated the same message throughout the book, to always write for you intended reader or audience. I have been trying to apply this skill when writing my final papers for this semester and I feel that it has been helping.

I am glad that this is one of the first classes I have taken at this university because it will help me throughout my education as well as my future career.
