SWA#1


My best writing experience was during my junior year of high school when I was given the assignment to write an essay on the comic book “V for Vendetta”.  I found it to be my favorite because “V for Vendetta” is my favorite comic and one of my favorite movies.  My teacher also made it a good experience because instead of reprimanding me and demoralizing me she gave me more positive reinforcement.
My worst writing experience was last semester when I was given an assignment to write about the marketing and branding of higher education universities, and instead of giving positive reinforcements, my professor gave me negative feedback and did not elaborate on ways to improve my paper. Instead my professor expected me to be able to push out an A paper without much feedback and not very helpful feedback when they did give me any.  Overall the entire class was a bad writing experience, but that was one of the more upsetting incidents. 
The one that affected me the most was the better experience, because with positive reinforcement I feel I am more able to go ahead with my papers and my assignments. I also feel I have a better chance of writing a “good” paper with positive reinforcements.
