Reflection on the Course

My writing abilities have definitely increased during this course.  I've learned how to site my sources better and hopefully how to stay on point with my thesis.  I learned the difference between summary and analysis and when to use each of them which will help me in all of my future courses that will require literary analysis.  The readings in this courses have opened my view of different kinds of readings.  I usually choose the same type of authors and books to read.  By being forced to read things I wouldn't normally read, I've realized that these other kinds of things are also pretty good to read.  My writing process has changed a little because of this course.  I learned to write multiple drafts and re-edit the papers I'm writing to make them better.  This course was definitely a challenge.  One of the main reasons because it was online.  I find online classes much more difficult because I tend to procrastinate.  I made sure to turn in most of the assignments in on time.  I could've still done a little better with this, as I missed a couple assignments.
