Process Evaluation


At first I was dreading this project, but it really wasn't that bad. If you keep up with everything and don't wait until the last minute to do something you'll be fine. I found annotating most difficult, writing the paper most useful, and annotating also being the least useful. I know annotating is important when you have a big research paper and you have a lot of sources, but I just never went back to them they were just there. Well, since everyone did a bad job annotating this year maybe go over that more? I got a lot of feedback from a lot of different people. There were a total of 5 people who edited my paper and I think it was definitely helpful. The editor would catch things or read things differently than I meant it to be so I would go back and make my point more clear. Every time there was a comment on my paper I would look at it and consider making the change to my paper. I was told that organization, word choice, and voice were some good aspects. I worked hard on my paper and throughout the writing process I tried to use different words to not be repetitive or boring. I also tried to keep everything organized and not get off topic. My paper had a lot of different ideas regarding to my topic, but I don't think any of them were really shocking or hard-hitting.
