A Reflection Note. Burdina Elizaveta

 I would like to start by saying that the academic writing course perfectly complements the program of studying English.

Thanks to the course I began to study more about the world and important things by reading interesting articles. It was a big surprise for me that some information I can find only in foreign resources. Moreover, I had a good opportunity to practice my grammar, lexis, reading and of course writing!

From this course I learned how to use citation machine and how to write a summary without plagiarism, what I have found useful due to entry of coursework into our program.

Sometimes I feel confused because some topics were too wide for me or I have no idea what should I write or how. It will be great if in future we will have more concrete themes or have a discussion before writing.

Anyway, I liked the most the idea to share our works with groupmates and learn something new from our topics and thoughts. Also  leaving question in your blog or comments helps to expand a look at different topics and learn to listen to others. Some topics were unexpectedly important to me.

What I would like to learn is how to write some serious articles, reviews and maybe where can I introduce myself as a discussion participant.

    Hello Liza,

    thanks for your course reflection which gives a good idea about the things you have enjoyed doing and the things you had difficultes with. Still I can see some evident progress in the development of your writing skills and hope you'll be able to further improve them in the future based on what you have learned to do this year. And I'd like to wish you good luck with it.

A reflection note. Torgalo Elisaveta

                                                           A Reflection Note Our semester is coming to an end, and therefore I want to leave my impressions about the course of studying academic writing. Firstly, I really liked the format in which our classes were held. Since we live in the modern world, I think it is very important to be able to use and process information on the Internet, and this is exactly what some of our lessons were built on. Thanks to this, I learned to look for the information I need and work with anti plagiarism. Moreover, during this semester there was a lot of practice in writing essays of various types. Because of this, I learned how to structure information and express my thoughts correctly in writing. As for the topics themselves, I really liked the themes that we discussed. They are ver...

A for-and-against essay. Torgalo Eliaveta

                                                Are ebooks so popular and good nowadays?                                                             With the development of digital technology, many physical elements, such as pen and paper, are gradually being replaced by computers and smartphones.
