Writing difficulties of engineering class
Writing difficulties of engineering class
Actually, the writing assignment of engineering class is quite hard for me. I found it was difficult to write my understanding in an academic essay. Once I was trying to express my ideas, I could not make it clear and accurate without copying the original sentences from books. During my bridging course, I have taken one chemistry module cm1501 and it required me to write an essay about protein structure and the usage of catalyst. In order to express the concepts accurately, I have borrowed a lot of books from library. However, after reading those materials, I felt that those explanations on the book were so perfect. If I wanted to paraphrase the paragraph and changed the words, I would change the meaning. Then I realized that if I copied those sentences, it was plagiarism. The problem was serious and I went to ask my tutor for help. The tutor suggested me taking the concepts from those books, but not copying the ideas. At last, I rewrote my ideas of the topic and integrated my ideas with those concepts and figures on the book. The result was better than I have expected. However, in fact, it was not a good academic essay. When I finished this module, I found that if I could put more diagrams, examples and mathematical proving in my essay, it would be more accurate and clear. From this module, I got the conclusion that a good academic essay required my own ideas about the topic, and it also needed a lot of examples, definitions and other scientists’research to make the essay convincible. Those stated above are what I am striving for. Moreover, I will work hard on my language. Sometimes my expression sounds quite weired due to the direction translation from chinese meaning. If I can enlarge my vocabulary and write in proper stucture, I can express my opinions accurately.
