Reflection Case

I can tell you right now that this class is really going to help me in the future. By going through this class, it made going through CTU online training easier. I was able to use what I learned in this class to pass my other class. Learning from this class will be put to good use in future classes by knowing how to organize information, research, grammar, and by using the proper format. Thanks to this class, there is nothing dealing with writing that I can't do.

Learning about formatting was a thing that I had the most trouble with. Fortunately I was able to learn some of them. I know that there is the APA style, MLA style, and several others. From what I understand, most of the teachers at Colorado Technical University Online want their assignments written in APA format. APA formatting takes a lot of work to do, but if you actually pay attention to what you are doing, it will make all the difference in your writing. Knowing this, I am going to do great with this part of my training.

From this class I know that research is the key to every good essay. Well the truth of the matter is that research is the key to every class that you'll ever take. In my future classes with CTU at least six of them are going to involve classes dealing with essay writing. From English Composition II to Professional writing, I am going to have to learn a lot of information on different subjects. In the other classes, I am still going to have to become more knowledgeable about the course. So when you look at it, research is the most valuable piece of knowledge that came out of this class.

In the profession that I am going into, the ability to be organized and informative helps you keep your job. I am going into Human Resource Management. In this career field, it is your job to keep informative in everything that deals with your company. You also have to stay organized so that you will know what you are talking about. Even if you are not going into the same career field that I am, writing an organized essay could help you look good to your boss. This will most likely help you get a promotion. Being informative shows that you have done your homework on whatever you are talking about. This will show everybody that you are not to be taken for granite.

Having an audience helps you get a little more confidence in your writing abilities. When they comment on your essay, it lets you know where you need to improve your writing. It also lets you know what parts of your essay where good and what parts you do not have to worry about revising. If you know your audience, it will give you a little more perspective on what they are looking for in your work. It is also good to know your audience because if they do not agree with your opinion, you will know if it is because of your work or if they do not like you. I like having an audience. The only thing that bothers me about having an audience is that we do not
