Yes it was very useful to me. I have to admit that i used to make all these mistakes but, i think what stood out the most to me was my unnecessary use of commas. Today's class activity was fun and exciting. we found patterns in photos and it felt like i was in high school again. Good o'l days.
ReplyDeleteI think we all are guilty of making those errors once in a while. However, it is all part of a learning process.
DeleteI also have to admit that i make some of the mistakes on the link!
Deletethe unnecessary commas stood out for me also coz I do get confused where to put them sometimes
DeleteI feel like the unnecessary commas held me back. I now know how to use commas!
DeleteI agree that unnecessary commas threw me off all these years! Now I have a helpful resource! Life is all about learning from your mistakes and doing a better job.
DeleteI agree. I also used to use unnecessary commas. Good lesson!
DeleteI think unnecessary commas are something that everyone had done wrong!
DeleteI find that link very useful because I can refer to it when I need to. It is a really great refresher on common mistakes that writers make. Todays class was great. Preparing for the argumentative essay and learning about some outlines that overlap. Overall, todays class activities were creative.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, we all make mistakes, but things like this will help us fix our mistakes and improve ourselves in the long run.
DeleteI agree, the review of common errors is a great resource to refer to. Class was interesting and creative today.
DeleteThe link definitely is a refresher because it's always gonna be there when we need it to refresh us.
DeleteI agree todays class was creative
DeleteIt is a good refresher! The topics are interesting for the argumentative essay. I think this will be the most challenging type of essay for me. A lot of research is needed.
DeleteI agree, I thought the activities we did last class were creative as well!
DeleteThe fact that the information is so easily attainable makes it possible for someone to get all that they need with just the click of a button.
DeleteI found the review of common errors in grammar very useful. I was convenient to have examples of what is wrong and what is right to compare and contrast. I plan refer back to this for to improve my writing.
ReplyDeleteToday's class was in compliance to our normal routine. However, i still learned something. I think it is a good thing that we go over the lessons in class, because sometimes when I do try to do it on my own, I do not always understand it completely. The exercises we did in class helped me understand what it meant to be creative when classifying.
I thought the common grammar errors review was very useful. Even as a college student, I still make these mistakes in my writing, but reviewing simple errors like these can refresh us and improve our writing skills. Today's class was pretty fun. I thought the classification part was kind of confusing. The overlapping examples kind of threw me off, especially the shape one, where round, beautiful, oval, and square were choices. We learn something new every class session!
DeleteRefering back to improve your writing is always a good thing to do because the link can always be like a "peer review"-ish kinda thing so it really comes in handy
DeleteI agree about reviewing our lessons. Like today, for the activities I had a partner help me out and I know for a fact I will forget how to do it the next time we have to do it on our own..
DeleteComes in handy! we may not know but our brain takes in whatever it needs! Good stuff Good stuff!
DeleteThe examples are very good references to which kind of writing is correct! I agree, I learned to be a little more creative on classification.
DeleteI too sometimes do not understand the lessons when I go over it on my own. This lesson is kind of tricky for me especially when we went over the overlapping. Glad I was in class when we went over this otherwise I would be having a hard time.
DeleteI could honestly say I've made every one of these mistakes.
DeleteI think the link is very useful just because when I was reading through it I realized I make some of these errors. Also, I can always look back to it and check if I am making a mistake in future papers. I found today's lesson was good because I knew I understood the material well.
ReplyDeletesame here, "used" to make these errors now i know what i did wrong.
DeleteSame. I'm glad that I know the common errors.
DeleteRecursive and the reference of common mistakes would be a good combination. Drafting will be in strength now.
DeleteI don't think we all realize the common mistakes we make in our writing but with this resource we now do.
DeleteI agree, I'm glad we can reference on common errors we make in essay writing.
DeleteI agree. The lesson was good and I will also refer back to this when I write my future papers.
DeleteThe Common Mistakes of English Grammar, Mechanics, and Punctuation reference was helpful. It could be used by me & other students who wish to write or speak proper english. It could also be used to look back at when writing formal essays.
ReplyDeleteTodays lesson was kind of confusing at first, but later on caught up to it.
Agreed! If you apply what's on this link to an essay oh Wow! will it look beautiful! Practice and we should be able to do it.
DeleteIt's definitely helpful!
DeleteI agree! It was very helpful.
DeleteYes, it would be very helpful for writing formal essays.
DeleteI use these tips too. Back in the day, I covered some of the common mistakes.
DeleteIt's a good resource especially for those wanting to better their writing.
DeleteAgreed, we could all use these tips in the near future.
DeleteI agree. We always learn new things in class and it helps reminds us of the things we tend to forget and teaches us how to improve our writing .
DeleteThe resource was very helpful. It made me see the common mistakes I never knew I made and it also refreshed my memory of mistakes I know not to make. I'll surely keep the resource in mind when writing. Today we discussed classification. The exercises helped me understand the concept of classification - classes forming a single principle that indicates the focus.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Now we know what to do in the future.
DeleteI agree as well. I'm not surprised. The common mistakes has its name.
DeleteI agree, the resource was very helpful.
DeleteThe common mistakes for writing were very helpful. I realize that I make many mistakes. I was reviewing the link above and there were so much things I forgot. For example I forgot about possessive forms, possessions, and so much more. I think this link is useful for me because I might forget in the future. I am not intelligent, so I am glad I have this guide to look back on. Yesterday's class was really interesting. We learned about classification and how it is better to be organized. Overall it was exciting.
ReplyDeleteIt's true that many people realize their own mistakes. I will look forward to these tips from time to time.
DeleteI think this resource will help us learn to better our writing.
DeleteI agree, it was very helpful!
DeleteI agree. It was helpful and I make many of these mistakes as well!
DeleteThis resource is very helpful! I admit that I have done several of these common writing mistakes in my essays. I had been taught the wrong placement of commas in certain sentence structure and I struggled to know which placement is correct. I am sure that I will use this site for future reference. The class discussion yesterday was interesting as we used our creative thinking to make an outline on classifying things that were in a yard sale. I learned more about classification!
ReplyDeleteI will probably use this site for future references as well!
DeleteI agree this was extremely helpful.
DeleteI make those mistakes all the time. I reviewed the whole thing of the website, and I took note on some common mistakes that I have been doing on my writing. I avoided certain mistakes such as comma placements because I have reviewed them in my elementary years.
ReplyDeleteThe common mistakes of English grammar, mechanics, and punctuation resouce website was very helpful and it seems to me that we all have this problem, hence "common" mistakes. There is a lot of information on that website that will seem familiar to us and I'm sure it will help improve our grammar.
ReplyDeleteThis actually made so much sense. I was always told to write but always exclude saying things that didn't need to be said. Commas and other punctuations have always been my problem and I feel this would really help me.
