This is the third assessment and I learned a lot from this assessment. I chose the topic of Instant Messaging (IM). I learned about four types of academic writing.
First, I learned to make a compare and contrast partial essay, I chose two types of IM and they are Yahoo Messenger (YM) and Windows Live Messenger (WLM). I think this one is the easiest part, maybe it is because I edited it several times.
Second, I learned to make a research partial essay. It was a difficult task because the reliable information about IM is limited and at first I did not know what to do.
The third one, I learned about making a complete essay about my reaction or my opinion to an article about IM. The article said that WLM is better than YM and I agreed about that statement because there were some good evidences in the article to support the statement.
The last one, I learned to make a visual text to persuade other people to use IM. I also learned that IM now has become popular and IM is starting to replaced telephones and e-mail because IM is more efficient and effective.
I am most proud of my compare and contrast partial essay, maybe because I edited it several times more than the other pieces.
I made some mistakes on grammar and word choices; also I was having trouble in making a complete essay. Maybe I have to get more practice on writing to improve my writing skills.
