While most chemists spend a large part of their time dealing with data (and managing it), the ability to communicate effectively to other chemists is critical in the field of research. If you cannot communicate your ideas, no matter how brilliant you are, no one is going to bother to listen. So, effective use of the English language is a skill that must be developed. How effective a writer do you think you are? Give supporting evidence for your position.

I think that I am a pretty effective writer. I may not be too good at math, but I have always enjoyed writing. People always seem to understand what I am trying to say when I write it. Generally, i score well on essays in Lyceum.
ReplyDeleteAlso, through a persuasive essay, I got the entire class to agree with my opinion. This shows that people understand what I am saying and can form opinions about my writing.

I enjoy writing all types of papers, mostly because I get to show off what I'm good at. For my APLAC final from first semester, I received an 8 on a practice AP essay. The scoring is out of 9. I hold that to being a great accomplishment of which I am very proud. I only hope to do as well, if not better, on the real exam in May.
