This page is a great resource to help writers with punctuation, such as using commas, quotation marks, apostrophes, and hyphens.
The areas in my writing that I am most confident in are finding and completing research, analyzing the researched information, structure, and formatting in APA. The areas in my writing that I feel is necessary to continue to work on are revising better, creating a style in my writing, and mechanics. I plan to rectify these writing problems through practice. Next time I am assigned to write an academic paper, I will make sure to pay special attention to these problematic areas. The most important lessons I received from this writing class are how to present professionally, write more clearly, research academic sources, and how to analyze my sources better.
