What I have learned about the topic

I have learned that when producing an academic essays,one had to have at least a main idea and a supporting source.By doing so one avoid to plagiarise author's main ideas or making them his/hers . Firstly students have to be taught about referencing and looking for different sources in order to support your own ideas, sources such as books ,articles,  newspaper, etc..

What I did not understand

I did not how to differentiate between different sources .I just don't get it correct , still don't know more about referencing and will like to know more on how to locate different sources and their creditability.

3.Comment

I did not enjoy the fact that all of us did not do our homework as was supposed to have been done. We are not meeting our lecture halfway by not coming prepared and doing what we was supposed to do.

I have learned about writing as a process and that it is very important for an individual to understand that academic writing is practised as a process by lecturers to their students.I also learned about processing information  and different types of texts such as narrative,descriptive,expository(factual)and persuasive /argumentative texts.

I enjoyed the fact that our lecture suggested that we will dwell more on referencing.

I have read that why writing as a process.It explained that academic writing takes place over time you have to follow some certain steps.I know  that when an individual is writing an assignment for instance he\she must follow some very important steps for a good evaluation by the lecturers.
