Please discuss your overall impression of improvements you've made in your academic skills set in terms of researching, reading, writing, and discussion.
All the academic work which we have done in ELP in order to improve our academic skills was not new to me as I have been doing this sort of work in school before coming to ICU. However, learning about reseaching from the begining again and also doing work which requires much reading, writing and discussing has helped me improve my skills as I was able to go over the fundamental aspects of each skill. The skill which I improved most on would be my writing skills. Although I had been writing essays and reports since middle school, I had never fully thought of or thought out the structure of my essays. By writing essays along with an outline, it really helped me improve my structuring skills which I greatly feel has helped me write more pursuasive essays.
