SARTRE PRESENTATIONS/SEMINARS
Summary of Comments/Score. Overall, my group’s presentation was clear and we were able to convey our section to the class well without too much assistance from you. However, our written outline had a few issues. First, the outlines organization was a little cluttered and could have been cleaned up to be easier to follow. Additionally, we struggled with the rhetorical function section of the outline. The rhetorical function section should not have been separated from the main points. Furthermore, we focused too much on the structure of Sartre’s paper, such as Sartre giving an example and then following up with commentary, rather than addressing why Sartre is using the rhetoric he used and exploring those implications. …show more content…
I believe I did a good job practicing UW Outcome #2 – particularly at making my sources converse with each other. Additionally, this paper showcases the principle of being comfortable with areas of ambiguity and uncertainty. My topic for this paper was my second idea. I chose to go with my second idea rather than my first because it seemed to be more interesting, even though I knew my second idea would require more exploration. I feel as though this risk paid off because my paper explored a subject that at first seemed minor (the orange shirt versus the black shirt) but resulted in a more complex and interesting claim. Additionally, I definitely need to practice UW Outcome #4 more, especially proofreading for grammar errors and making my sentence structure easier to follow. Although my errors did not severely impact the understanding of my writing, having errors distracts from my main …show more content…
My first page contains good ideas but I need to make a more concise claim. I have to make sure I have an explicit, specific claim that is addressed throughout the paper. Additionally, I need to hone in with a few specific ideas rather than a plethora of more general ideas.
Reflection. My first page of my 1.4 paper demonstrates the principle of being comfortable with areas of ambiguity and uncertainty as well as the principle of being okay with being wrong. The comment I received on my first page was discouraging because it stated that I was not specific enough and did not commit to a specific claim. While at first I felt defeated, I realized that I had a good topic and just needed to explore more to develop a better claim. The realization of having a lot of room to grow with this paper was hopeful and allowed me to persevere through the rest of the essay.
MAJOR PAPER 1.4 DRAFTS 1-3
Summary of Comments/Score. My first draft was too cluttered and not focused enough as towards the end my paper started to lose cohesion and veered off topic. My second and third draft was much better as I kept track of my claim throughout the paper; I just had to revise some topic sentences to be more like a mini-claim and make sure my logic flows well and is
