Know Yourself - Chapter 9

What are My Writing Strengths and Weaknesses?
My writing strengths are I follow the instructions.  I always stay focused.  The things that I need to improve are to think of what I am trying to say and try to sum it up in a better way.  No, when I am working on something important, I try to think of what is the best way that I can go and accomplish something.  A strategy that can help me would be to brainstorm my ideas.  Once I brainstorm my ideas, I will be able to choose what sounds good and which one would go with the topic.  It would be a good idea to go to a writing center, when at the center, they can help you with what you need to do and what needs to be done so you can be able to throughly write a great story.

Are You at Risk for Plagiarism?
Reproducing the writer's original words-with quotations marks.  Rearranging the words in the writer's original sentence, and identifying the writer, but puttting theoriginal sentence your own words.  I reproduce the writers original words-with quotation marks.

What Are My Speaking Strengths and Weaknesses?
My strengths are I connect with the audience by talking directly to them rather than reading my notes or delivering a memorized script.  I follow appropriate conventions, including grammer.  I need to improve on are my purposes and keep the main focus the whole time.  I need to organize the speech a little better and I need to reflect more on the course.
