After carefully reviewing the syllabus, I feel very anxious about writing the essays in this course mainly because I am not confident in my writing abilities. However, I feel excited about learning how to ameliorate my writing abilities so that it can benefit me throughout my life. I know that there will be various strategies and tips in this course to help me improve as a writer. 

Good writing is primarily subjective since it varies for individuals, but I strongly believe good writing consists of having deep meaning, containing an emotional impact, and being appreciated in a complex way to the individual. Also, having the ability to fully immerse readers into gravitating towards the writing is another quality. In order for one to become a good writer, they have to have mastered specific skills in literature and apply these skills to use. Writing is prominent because it allows the ability to express oneself in an imaginative way. Furthermore, writing is a powerful tool that can change one’s perspective about themselves internally and externally. Writing well helps one’s ideas to flow eloquently which helps for an individual to be expressive of themselves.

My strength in writing is that I can express myself in topics I have knowledge about and that people can have a general idea of what I am trying to convey. However, the hardest part is trying to make my writing more in depth and detailed since my writing can sometimes be too vague. Also, I struggle with the repetition of the same ideas. I often do not realize when I repeat certain ideas and my writing ends up sounding redundant. 

In the field of computer science, people are expected to write documents, comments, emails, design, and planning. Being an effective writer can benefit me in this field because it can allow me to effectively organize my ideas into a presentable form which can help explain my ideas and justify my code. Also, it will help me with my public speaking in communicating with my peers and explaining my documentation thoroughly.
