As of now, In ENG 099, I have been trying to develop my writing as much as I can with the professor supports. Even though I believe that I need to work harder to develop my writing, I am enthusiastic of my performance as of now and I know that is just a matter of time until I finally get on track to pass the CAT-W. My personal work in this class can be evaluated into three specifics detail assignments; from the CAT-W practices tests in class, the blog entries and the group discussions, and the incoming challenges of the next couples of weeks.
The CAT-W practices have been very useful to take, the same as the one we will be facing at the end of the course. I am looking forward to take the test and finally pass it over. In my own experience this class is leading us to face the test with the complementary tools we need to succeed in our writing path. Until now, those practices have become the most important assignment of the class because it gives a clear approach to the real test. As it was noted on one of the classes, the real method they use to grade the CAT-W, eventually, this will get a hand on the preparation of the test as now we know the specific rules of the evaluation process and the math behind the test, which it used to be a real mystery for students. The most recent CAT-W practice test gave me a score of 57, a slight point over the limit to pass the original test. The result shows me that I am struggling to keep the topic sentences of the paragraph and my examples are not organized by paragraph.
The blog entries and the group discussions reflect our thoughts and opinions to be shared with the rest of students. This tool of knowing what others believe and their values really provide a sense of acceptance from different perspectives. Also, it is very helpful the response outline of the claim, reason and evidence, it give us a sort of order to develop our thesis. The blog entries could be modified at any time before it is due; this is great since I can focus on working in different times and work out my opinions and possible responses to the topic. The blog entries have one little issue of technology, sometimes I lost all my written and I had to start all over again. That is what I really hate about technology.
I am excited for the incoming assignments and the next blog entries; I know that the challenges are going to be tougher as we move forward to the end of the semester. I would like to work more in my vocabulary and sentence structure as it was first pointed out by the professor review. In addition to this issue, I have to develop my ideas and organize them in a very clear way through the whole written; sometimes I go from one point to the other without a connection to the paragraph. I am planning to stick with my professor concerns to enhance those issues and to read more my keys for writers book.
Up to now, this class has been a great experienced since I had overcome many of my difficulties on written essays. I hope to continue the hard work and keep improving those errors until I finally overcome them. For the rest of the semester, I will be trying to give my best and subsequently pass the target call “CAT-W”.
