This semester was the first time I have ever taken a legit college writing class. I love to write, both academically and creatively, and that is why I am choosing my first research paper at OSU as my artifact.
This paper means a great bit to me, because not only did I enjoy writing it, but I learned a great deal of information regarding academic writing. In the paper, I analyze a prominent theme in the short story Sh’kohl by Colum McCann. The assignment required that I incorporate scholarly research articles, which was a new experience for me.
The writing skills I gained through this assignment and the class in general will make a substantial difference in my future assignments. From perfecting MLA format to learning new ways to write an argument, I am confident that the experience I have collected will continue to benefit my academic career, as well as my career beyond attending university.
