Academic Writing

College writing is a bit more precise than usual writing standards. Arranging paragraphs in a structural manner which include a proper topic sentence or being able to write sentences in the correct form is good but enough. Academic writing requires a certain type of format and depth. Balancing your personal viewpoint with the opinion of others to reason and analyze research is one aspect of college writing. Stating a clear and powerful thesis statement throughout the writing and most importantly convincing the reader with personal perspective and legit facts is also an essential factor. I have learned many new factors of academic writing such as transitional sentences, rhetorical strategies, critical writing, and MLA formatting. The use of my rhetorical techniques has improved which has helped me in developing a writer’s sense and creating a firm argument thoroughly. Transitional sentences are complex and hard to write, and I have struggled with writing proper transitional sentences, but once you get used to writing a lot, transitional sentences become interesting to write. I prefer to write narrative essays over research essays. Research essays are mainly fact based which is why I find them tedious and extensive. Whereas narrative essays are more creative and allow the writer to have more freedom with words. College writing in general influences a person to take control of what others are thinking in words and dominating that.

First Weeks in City Tech..

My first few weeks in college has been about adjusting to the expectations of my professors.Even though its just the beginning of the semester,i can already feel the pressure of not being able to pass my classes. There are many exams that i have to review for in the first few weeks of this semester. Its different than before because professors expect students to be more self self reliant and independent. I am getting my self familiar with the map of city tech and trying to memorize my classes. The duration of classes is longer than before so yoga helps.
