What I initially thought would be a tedious assignment has in fact succeeded in allowing me to gather not only my knowledge, but also my own opinions about the topics we’ve covered. I have discovered new subjects, such as corpora, and found more examples of the other three subjects, which I believe will now have a direct impact on my future writing and presentations. Furthermore, I feel as though creating a blog has broadened my writing skills and also introduced me to another source of information I hadn’t investigated before, so overall it has been a beneficial assignment!
