During the semester I have learned a lot about writing for the media. These are three area’s in which I still need to work on and pay closer attention to:
- Using quotes. In my feature project, I had trouble knowing when to capitalize words and where to place commas. On quiz #7, I also did not know when to capitalize a word and when to leave something lowercase. Now I know that when the phrase is a complete sentence, the first word in the sentence should be capitalized.
- Using numerals versus words for numbers. On quiz #15 I did not understand why the number two was appropriate instead of the word two. Now I know that numerals are used for ages and measurements on all occasions.
- Checking over my work. A lot of my mistakes were careless ones. I made a careless error on quiz #11. If I would have just checked back over my work, I would have seen the error and corrected it.
