My writing skills have changed compared to the way that I would write before taking eng259, i have become more experienced with more business papers such as technical descriptions, memos and i am able to understand and use citations better.  I have learned about more search engines to find specific information for papers.  I have also learned how to write better emails.  I believe that i have grown as a writer after taking this course. The blogging assignments have helped to explore topics in technical writing, the blog assignments that were given influenced me to do more writing, I have even started to do some blogs of my own in my spare time.
