Metacognitive Analysis.
Even knowing that i still have to do it better and that i have a lot to learn, i have came to the conclusion that my writing has improved a lot this year. Maybe, i could find the way to start my writing efficiently. I have a clearer idea about the steps to follow for each type of essay or paragraph i want to write. My problem, before writing, was to have many ideas mixed in my mind and i could not put them in order in the text. The prewriting, writing, and revising stages are easier now, because i have models to follow and rules that made everything clearer for me.
This year we are concerned about academic writing, which not only helped me to enhance writing in all aspects, but made me acknowledge how basic and simple writings from previous years were. Apa rules, a good presentation, well redacted papers, a correct organization of the paragraphs, all these things differ from previous years when, in contrast, writing was about a specific item with little research about it, or summaries of a given text. Moreover, the limitation of time to write was really hard to manage but, all in all, i know that all that was part of the training. The more you write the better.
