Personal Reflection

 
Actually, in my course Academic Reading and Writing 1 with Mr. Gregory Vrhovnik, I have a lot of useful things. Many procedures and technics were added to my mind and helped me in my communications in English language. First of all, analyzing and noticing information. This is the most important thing in the communication. Understanding and putting the ideas in details helped me a lot in writing and reading different types of texts. Therefore, summarizing reading texts and using them to collect quotes. Moreover, Mr. Vrhovnik teaches us how to search information in many webs – sites such as google site and how to choose the convenience subject. Also, quoting and getting points from the site which is given by the professor. The most important thing is to write summaries and researches in certain procedure and give it back to the professor. In this course, my English language is improving day after day. And I hope I will learn better in the next Reading and Writing course.
