Self-Assessment Reflection

 

1. My goal for this paper was to make the best connection between the readings possible. I didn't want to focus on sumerizing the articles but rather to find things to relate them to eachother. I feel as if i accomplished my goal to the best of my ability even though at some points i do feel like i am just rambling
2. I wasn't great at managing my time. I spent a lot of time reading the articles and doing some outside research before i began the paper. However when it came down to writing i didnt know where to start. Eventually the weekend before the due date i locked myself in my room and began to write. Once i started getting words onto paper the rest of it flowed pretty easily.
3. When i reread the comments everyone made on my paper i was able to sit down and really understand what they meant. Because of the comments abbey and pricilla made i practically changed the entire last page of my paper for the better. i think as a group we all worked well together.
4. Other than the people in my group, i had no outside help on this paper.
5. As a writer i learned that no one sees my writing as i do. I felt like i rambled and wasnt making much sense but my group collectivley told me that they didnt see it that way. I learned that editing it a few times yourself before turning something in is very benifical. I probably would have changed a few more things and i think others probably would have to.
6. the hardest part of this paper was beggining it. Once i put paper to pen it wasnt as dificult but i twiddled my thumbs for a few hours before hand trying to decide where to start. The easiest part was going and reviewing  and annotating that articles from class. while i had notes in my daybook is was a good refresher to sit down and start them over from the beggining. i took risks with the new ending to my paper. i took my more basic ending and i tried to revamp it. I'm not sure if i succeeded but i tried.
7. im proudest of my opening paragraph. I think it is a nice intro to what the paper is about and its something that usually wouldnt write. " You are either bathed in the sea of knowledge or are in a drought of simple minded education. "
8. The last part of my paper needed the most improvment. It had run on sentences and other parts didnt have whole ideas. I went through and completely changed the direction of it and tried to avoid any gramatical errors.
9. for me the writing process has had its up and downs. like i said earlier it was hard for me to start but once i did it poured out of me. I struggled a little bit with the peer editing. I wish i could have had some more input but i also felt like maybe i was a little mean when i was writing on their papers while reading them in class. the final edits were good for me. I struggles with where to begin but once i decided to completely redo the last page, it ended up working out.
