Reflection of GWC Class

Yesterday, all class of fall term was over. Though it was so busy and hard, I could finish it.
So I'd like to summarize what I learned in GWC class, and conclude it.

Throughout the class, I learned how to construct a effective sentence; for example, to reduce the number of clauses by nominalizing phrases, and to pay attention to flow of the sentence by combining information in order of old to new, and put the most important information at the end of the sentence.
With these skills, I think I became be aware of errors in my writing, and see how should I reconstruct it for improvement.
I'd like to continue caring these points, and improving my writing.

Peer Review


Yesterday, whole GWC class was over. Though there were only nine classes, I felt quite long. 

In GWC classes, we had several peer review tasks. 
I got many comments about my writing from classmates and the teacher. I always double-check my writing through Grammarly when I submit my paper, but some errors, such as a flow of sentences or consistency of point cannot be revised by tool. So advice from others through peer review is helpful.

In reviews, I got some comments about vocabulary. I know that I unconsciously use familiar words repeatedly in both writing and speaking , so I want to try using new or unfamiliar words consciously.
