Processes for Writings
The hardest part for me on writing the research proposal was to figure out what was I going to even research. The easiest part for writing the research proposal was that I knew how to write the research proposal from ENG 1101. The parts of the writing process that worked best for the research proposal would be the feedback from others. It gave me a chance to see what others thought of my topic. For the research proposal, the writing process I need to work on in the future is to actually change things that others say repeatedly. I have a stubborn streak in me that makes it almost impossible to listen to others criticism. The strengths for my research proposal would be my grammar and organization. The weaknesses for the research proposal would be my development of ideas. I got sloppy as writing it went on.
The hardest part for me on writing the research essay was doing the research itself. The easiest part for the research essay would be quoting all the quotes from the research articles. The parts of the writing process that worked best for the research essay would be the pre-writing. It gave me the chance get everything down in print and decide what I want to have in my paper or not. For the research essay, the writing process I need to work on in the future is to make sure I give myself enough time to actually write the paper. I have times where I procrastinate to the last minute. The strengths for my research essay would be my grammar and organization. The weaknesses for the research essay would be my development of ideas. I start getting tired as the time goes on and looking at a computer.
The hardest part for me on writing the visual analysis essay was analyzing each and every little thing in the picture. The easiest part for the visual analysis essay would be deciding what picture to use. I knew I would have a history themed picture. The parts of the writing process that worked best for the visual analysis essay would be the editing of the analysis. As you look at the picture several different times, you may find more about the picture you didn't see before or a different thought about something you've already found and explained. For the visual analysis essay, the writing process I need to work on in the future would be feedback. When I see something in a picture, I can't believe another perspective from another person. Yet if I found that exact perspective on my own, I'd be okay with it. The strengths for my visual analysis essay would be grammar and organization. The weaknesses for the visual analysis essay would be being able to get criticism from other people. I am set on my ways when I choose a history picture.
The hardest part for me on writing my short story was coming up with the all the characters and giving them their own personalities. The easiest part for writing the short story was giving the story a place in time. I knew instantly that the story would be around 1939-1945. The parts of the writing process that worked best for the short story would be the revising. After the first draft of it, I got feedback from my English teacher at the time and made the story better. For the short story, the writing process I need to work on in the future would be pre-writing. I can't do thinking before I actually make a draft of something. The strengths for my short story would be grammar, organization, and descriptions. The weaknesses for the short story would be getting people into the story.

Performance in Class
I contributed my thoughts to other peoples' writings. I gave the best advise that I could. I could have done better on writing my research paper. I gave the bare minimum to almost everything. I couldn't get into writing the research paper. I think that I deserve at least a high B or a low A. I gave all I could on some things and didn't do hardly anything for other things. What I learned in ENG 1201 would be that even though this was an online class, you get to see the personalities of people, even when you may never meet them. I also learned that we all had a teacher that was willing to help us if we just asked. There are people in this course that were very talented in their writings. I hope that they continue to write.
