The kind of genres that I would be writing in my major, Information Systems (IS), are
typically, business reports, statistical reports and proposals that are either informative,
evaluative or argumentative. After taking the ES1103 module, I believe that I am more
informed of the mistakes I used to make in my past writings and I could improve my

skills and experiences that ES1103 have taught me will be helpful in the planning and
structuring phase of the reports and also, the usage of citation and expressing citations

integrating more information and expressing dense meanings; thus, having such a skill
would be good to apply into reports since reports have heavy cited references (Rashid,
N.A., 2017a).
