In looking over my AWA results from the University of Athabasca I am made aware of a few key points that need to be addressed when it comes to my writing. Below is a brief overview of my results.
Grammar: 17/20 review pronoun forms, agreement with neither/nor, and verb forms with modal verbs
Mechanics: 17/20 you could double check punctuation, capitalization and possessives
Word order: 10/10 completed
Editing: 8/10 problem with pronoun forms
Reading comprehension 12/20
Essay 24/50
Grammatically speaking I need to work on pronouns, verb forms and double check my punctuation. All skills that will require a bit more attention to detail overall. Likely in-depth editing and note taking will be key with this task. In terms of my reading comprehension and the essay, I do feel that some of that that score was subjective, and the marker did not agree with my take on the reading. I also find that writing an essay answer for a test on a subject you get no prior time to prepare for also makes it difficult to fully answer the question. Like the mechanics of my writing, I feel that I will need to spend more time taking an in-depth look at my writing, defining what questions I am trying to answer and if my work fits within the writing/marking rubric. Like this test, also looking at the pre-test, I struggle with pronouns verbs and comma placement. It is clear to me that I need to spend more time editing my work and more time practicing writing academically.
