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.
Your post is critically honest in your self-assessment. I agree, the project seemed impossible at first. I'm glad more than halfway finished!
