Honestly, as our 7 weeks are coming to an end I am quite disappointed in myself with where my grade is. I had high hopes and determination to receive a B or an A as my final grade but it looks like I might leave this course with a C. This online course in my opinion is not difficult nor is it easy but what I would suggest for the next student and for myself is to utilize your email and text messaging the Instructor to the fullest! Also, do not feel uncomfortable asking questions you think, “are stupid” or feel like you’re asking too many questions.
Our first assignment which was writing an evaluation paper, I had received a 50 out of 100 points and I can just recall how shocked and confused as to why, and the great thing about our Instructor …show more content…
Instantly, I took it upon myself to email Mr. Long and I also went and did an online tutoring session to see what went wrong because I was taken aback that it was plagiarized when I had taken my time on the assignment. During the tutoring session and also speaking to Mr. Long I did not use in-text citation and I was not aware of how much things can be considered plagiarism and if I did not have an instructor nor the resources for an online tutor I would have been stuck with a 0 but I am very grateful that Mr. Long did acknowledge that I was finally aware of my mistake and regarded my paper without including me not citing my paper correctly. Using my mistakes and my newly found knowledge from my instructor I had diligently yet worked very hard on my third paper which was an argumentative assignment. I used the feedback that was given to me from my previous papers to help construct the assignment and I asked all kind of questions to Mr. Long and looked at various example papers to finalize the paper. Once it had been graded I was a lot more proud of that grade than the previous ones, it wasn’t astonishing but in my eyes and in Mr. Long eyes it was my best paper yet! If I had not asked questions from previous papers I would not have been able to fix my mistakes for the next assignment and would have kept receiving the grade I ha received from the first
