This paper was easier to write than the first one. However, I still had quite a few concerns while writing it.
The thesis was easier for me to construct, and being able to use textual sources helped the process along. What I am most focused on with this paper was trying to elevate it, the grade I received on the last one was satisfactory but I want to perform better and continue to do so. I have a writing center appointment on Monday, so i hope to get some feedback and utilize it.
This class is certainly a challenge for me, I have never had to focus extensively on a paper before. I am used to writing something, maybe editing for 1/2 an hour before turning it in. My process has completely changed and it is taking a while to get used to, as well as making me apprehensive and worried about everything I turn in.
What differed in how I wrote this essay was, I outlined what I wanted to accomplish in my thesis. found supporting evidence online as well as textual sources. It was far more pre-planning and organization. where with this last one, I simply sat down and typed as I thought. Hopefully the changes I have made will make a difference.
I had the same process about writing my paper as well. Also in this class I do as well feel challenged because I never really had to write papers in my school. This class is able to take me to a whole other level. As do I feel worried about turning in my essays because I never think they are good enough.
ReplyDeleteFeeling unconfident in any academic subject is not necessarily a bad thing. I see it as a part of a greater process, actual improvement. I too feel a lot of anxiety when turning in just about any assignment but I think its just a natural thing to experience when working at a higher level than you are used to. Basically, its a freshman thing. By junior year you'll be a pro. Just keep updating and revising until you reach your maximum potential.
