Has this class improved my writing?

Hmm...I'm not sure if this class has IMPROVED my writing. If anything I'm more educated on scientific paper writing, so I guess that's an improvement. This class was difficult for me because I'm not used to the style of writing that we are doing for the final paper. I tend to either write with lots of creativity and freedom, or very cut and dry technical. This paper has challenged me, I was surprised at the among of negative feedback on my first draft. Every first draft will be full of critiques which I am willing to accept and accommodate, but I figured I knew what my strengths and weaknesses were, guess not. One piece of feedback I received was that my paper was too FYI, like writing to inform on a general topic, and no specific enough and opinionated. This pretty much means I need to re-write my entire paper! So maybe an answer to the question would be no, it's made it worse! If anything I feel less confident in my writing skills and definitely a little bit overwhelmed at the task of rewriting my entire paper.....
