It has given me an excellent foundation to build upon in my future classes and allowed me to think critically. This allowed me to become a much better critical thinker because your course required me to analyze and interpret theory and apply them to real life. The amount of writing that I have done in this class has been much more that my previous classes, but because of that, my writing skills have remarkably improved. I would say that I learned how to properly write and incorporate lectures into my papers. I now have a greater understanding on various ways of absorbing information and translating it onto paper. Although the papers became quite tedious, I knew that writing the papers would make much more sense if I was able to apply the lecture material, that was taught in class well. I have gained great insight in this class about how I would approach a paper and my style of writing. I also learned a great deal about time management because although a paper would be due in two weeks, I would start it a week in advance so I did not feel pressure when the due date came up. I benefited from the many papers because it helps me grow as a writer, which made my writing better. In the near future, I will take all the skills I have learned in this class and implement them to my life, post undergraduate life. In addition, I will be writing several essays like my personal statement that will hopefully get me into a graduate program using the skills that I have gathered in this course. In the end, taking this class has taught me a lot about myself and my ability to write great college level
