Reflection #2
When observing the scores of my quizzes with the
re-testing, I am able to see that I demonstrate mastery of a 100% with all
subjects. These subjects range from the sentence structure, itself, to the
parts in a sentence, such as subject, verb, and pronoun usage. This result of
complete mastery depicts to me that I have the ability to apply these concepts
into my future writings.
The most relevant idea that I am able to perceive
from this experience is that I have gained the ability to put the sum of the
parts (noun, verb, and pronoun usage) into a whole (sentence structure). However, the most interesting aspect of this
experience was the methodology I used to obtain mastery for all subjects in the
grammar quizzes; I would look at each part of the sentence in an abstract
manner. I would take each building block such as subject-verb agreement and
observe if there is any mistake with it. Afterwards, I put the sentence
together and would find the correct structure when it came to the fragment,
coordination, and run-on exercises. Initially, my first time taking these
quizzes, I looked at all aspects as a whole without dissecting each section of
the sentence. Now I see the importance in breaking the whole into a sum of
parts.
I have learned the importance of how all components
of a sentence such as noun, verb, and pronoun can make a complete thought or
idea. In addition to the idea of grammar, I have also learned to use the tools
such as OWL Purdue more effectively
when it came to learning grammar. After this experience, I have set new
long-term goals as an English student. I now carry the goal of being an
effective proofreader as well as a writer. Ultimately, I learned that writing
takes patience to put the skills together.
