FINAL REFLECTION

This syllabus, “Writing II”, has been very helpful to improve my writing skills. In this
syllabus I could learn a lot of topics about how to improve my writings and different kinds of

essay such as expository paragraphs, division paragraph and essay, cause and effect essay,
comparison contrast essay, and argumentative essays. Also, I have learned about avoiding

coma splice and run on sentences.

I could achieve some of my objectives in this syllabus. First, I made an expository

paragraph. This kind of essay helped me to develop supporting points and specific details.
The second one was a division essay to create convincing opinions for the reader. The third

one was a cause and effect essay to produce logical and coherent ideas. The fourth one was a

comparison contrast essay, in this essay the writer has to compare two ideas. The last one was
an argumentative essay in which I had to give my opinions in a clear and convincing way.

I have used some strategies to achieve my objectives successfully. I had to memorize the

difference between the different kind of essay. Also, I have learned to identify the main topic
and supporting ideas to make my paragraph or essay in a good way.

To conclude, I can say that this syllabus has been very important for me because I could

improve a lot my writing skills. All the strategies and kinds of essay that I have learned

during this semester have helped me not only to improve in this subject, but also in other
subjects.
