This collage depicts my progression through this class. When I received the first assignment, I really had no idea what I was doing. I had never had to really analyze a text and did not really know how to analyze and provide the amount of detail required. I became very flustered and had to calm down. Gradually I started to understand the purpose of the papers and this was significant in figuring out how I had to do them. On the second paper I had a much better understanding and consequently wrote a much better paper. To make this improvement I really had to learn how to think critically in the context of academic writing. By paper three, although I certainly hadn’t mastered all of the concepts, I was able to successfully write the paper with much more independence. This demonstrates that I have a much better grasp the concepts we’ve learned in the class. This is depicted by the final picture on the collage.
