Parrott writes about metacognition and the idea that writers aren’t necessarily prolific and definitely aren’t just lucky or naturally gifted, but are instead persistent. How would you define and describe persistence in this course and in your writing experiences? Do you consider yourself a writer?
- Persistence, in this course, is defined as students’ ability to stay on top of their work and complete all of the assignments. Persistence also means sticking with something, whether it’s a task or an assignment, and putting up your best effort, even though it’s difficult at times. In ENG 2100, I’ve learned to be persistent in ensuring that whenever I have an assignment, I give it my all in order to complete it successfully and earn a good mark. I consider myself a writer since it does not take me a long time to write and come up with ideas in my head; I am a quick writer who can use analysis and go into detail when writing, which makes me a good/strong writer.
