Class Introduction – Miguel Estrella

Hello my name is Miguel Estrella. I go by he/him. Currently, my intended major is Accounting.

After reading the syllabus, I feel very excited to experience what this class has to offer and to improve my skills in writing. I am looking forward to learning how to critically analyze a text and learn how to execute arguments in a strong and understandable way. My only worry about this class is that it takes place online. This makes me nervous because I feel that I would learn more and better if the class were in person.

In order to be a good writer, a person must write things in a way that others can easily understand and that captivates the reader. It is important to be able to write well because something well written is likely to attract a large audience. The easiest part of writing for me is coming up with things to write. I feel that I am very well at explaining things that are on my mind, even when my thoughts are jumbled up. The hardest part of writing for me is knowing how to write an introduction. This is something I have always struggled on and that I can use help with. For my intended major, I am not sure what I would be required to write. Being an effective writer will affect my career opportunities because my intended career will probably require me to be persuasive and know how to explain things in a comprehensible way.

    Nice Piece of writing , I also intend to major in the business field and couldn't agree more with what you said about having to be persuasive in the writings in our fields of study !

    I like how you stated that a writer should accommodate their reader by making it easy to understand.

    Hi Miguel !!!!! I agree with what you said about a good writer having to be able to captivate the reader's attention and I also struggle with introductions so hopefully we can finally get better at it.
