1. What were the biggest challenges you faced this semester, overall?
I think the biggest challenge that I have had to face this semester was finishing all my work on time. Especially since some of the deadlines were very extensive in the amount of work that needed to be completed it sometimes was difficult to make sure that I am able to produce work of good quality.

2. What did you learn this semester about your own time management, writing and editorial skills?
I reinforced that my time management skills are awful, but I think my writing and editorial skills are improving. For many of the writing projects I wrote many drafts and between each copy I made many changes that helped in producing a good final product.

3. What do you know about the concept of a 'genre'? Explain how understanding this concept is central to being a more effective writer.
A genre is a category of writing that dictates the format of the piece. The specific conventions of a genre refer to how the text is laid out, what type of visuals are present, etc. By knowing a genre and its corresponding conventions its possible to successfully write in a new genre.

4. What skills from this course might you use and/or develop further in the next few years of college coursework?
I think this class forced me to address my bad time management skills and to work on how to plan out a long term assignment so it gets done on time, and not at the last minute. Also, learning how to write in different genres will help as the writing I did in high school is guaranteed to be very different than the writing I will do in my engineering classes.

5. What was the most effective moment from this semester in 109H?
I think the most effective moment that I have had during this class was right after we turned in our first assignment. After we finished this assignment it allowed me to reflect on how much I had learned in such as short time.
Not only have I learned many different technologies like Blogger and Coggle, but I have also learned the conventions of different genres like blogs and QRGs.

6. What was your least effective moment from this semester in 109H?
One of the least effective moments that I have had this semester was doing a Coogle for the rhetorical analysis. I typically find mind maps and pre-writing useful, but this Coggle was about information that I didn't really need to focus on.
