In this class I found the blogs the most useful part of this course. They gave us an opportunity to write regularly without the pressure of having multiple essays due each week. By reading different articles and reflecting on how we see other writers use the ideas that Harris presented, I gained a better understanding of what Harris was trying to communicate. With this understanding, I think I can apply his techniques of forwarding, coming to terms, and countering to my own writing.
The most useful chapter that Harris had was his first one that discussed coming to terms with the writer’s piece. Although I have always been taught to do this, seeing it in words helped my actively do this when reading and writing in this class and other classes.
