got instead of a boring class full of boring writing was an experience that has shown me how well I can write. It’s amazing how time has flown. When I take a look back at how many papers I’ve written, it seems like it is such an unfair representation of how much I’ve actually written and how much work I put into my papers. Some were drafted a couple of weeks in advance. Others were ripped from my mind in a haze of keyboard strokes and sweat. Regardless,…

Freakonomics Critique This article was really confusing to read. I didn’t quite understand what was going on until about mid-way through the paper because of how it began. The title was How Freakonomics is Ruining the Dismal Science, but that title and anything related to the book itself, didn’t even show up in the article until it was nearing it’s end. How is an author going to write an article and only have around 4 sentences even related to the title? It’s extremely misleading and not likely…

For me, my vulnerability was discussing the ostracism I faced as a queer and transgender person in a conservative…

more time, I could have made this sentence better paraphrased, that required less commas. Another thing I felt I could have changed in my paper is the amount of quotes I used in my paper. For example, “The sign of intelligence in reading is the ability to read things differently according to their worth” (Adler 3). This quote could have been excluded in my paper though it was a good quote, did not relate much to what the topic I was trying to summarize on Alder. Lastly, in this sentence, “One…

better with using evidence to support my papers. This, to me, is my best accomplishment. I have also improved on my word choice, organization, and how I use my quotes. If you were to compare the first paper I wrote to the last paper I wrote, I feel as though it would be obvious on how much my organization has improved. Over the semester, I found that the hardest part of all of the essays that I have written was using and finding evidence. The first paper that I wrote was extremely hard to write…

No matter where you go or went to school, you always have some type of English class that forces you to write papers. These papers usually has to be a certain way or over a certain topic. To me that was a pretty big problem for me because I could do free writing easy, but when you tell me to write about something that I don 't have any interest in and I have to follow your “rules”, then I will just try to blow it off. I have always hated the way Professors and the world had this “image” of their…

teacher assigned us a six page research paper. I would consider this research paper to be one of the hardest papers I had to write within three weeks. For most students three weeks is enough time to write a research paper unless you are like me who procrastinates often. Since my teacher gave us three weeks this gave me a great deal of time which brought a lot of distractions. My teacher was very helpful, she was always there to help us and she broke up the paper into smaller tasks with set due…
