Paper

solid base for my argument. If my audience doesn’t believe in global warming then there would be no point in trying to fix it. In the articles I summarized for Paper I, I used skills learned in class to pick out credible sources. In my first author’s note, I talked about how my first draft of Paper I had information scattered throughout the paper, but, after revising it I was able to make it flow in a logical order. After my first draft, I kept with me that sense of keeping things in a logical…

this semester I’ve taken a lot away from my classes, and this one especially. When writing my papers, I always tried to connect to something that happened to me, to make it more of a personal story. I thought by doing this I could write a better story because I thought people would be more interested in what I had to say. This class really made me go outside the box I always put myself in, when writing papers in high school. I was always worried about people judging my writing skills and didn’t…

information in this website on a Rhetorical Analysis paper for my English class. There were many places in my essay that just didn’t flow well. Having a list of words I could go through to see what would sound more sophisticated was very helpful. This website has improved my writing significantly.…

This paper required a formal tone and only first person when discussing your relation the community. My purpose in this paper was to address how the International Thespian Society was a discourse community and explain how. My thesis statement gave me a lot to run with: “By the standards given by Swales, the International Thespian Society is a discourse community” (Bartley 9). For this paper, a lot more research was needed. I conducted interviews…

This paper, being the second project assigned to us, I realized that I was still naïve while I worked on it. I believe that since the submission of this paper, I’ve polished my writing skills and gained more confidence as a writer. From having to re-read the “The Only Traffic Signal Doesn’t Flash Red Anymore” three times to the understand it fully to decently writing a four-page long paper in a matter of few days before the deadline, I see my improvement…

were assigned a Research Paper. We were suppose to write at least 6-8 pages. This was really hard for me because I realized that I was not good at siting things or explaining things. Our teacher told us it has to be very specific and I never thought I could have written 6 pages on such a specific topic. My paper was about how youth sports affect girls in America. I got some help and I ended up getting a good grade. Thank goodness! The whole process of writing a research paper was long and…

and rewrite as much as possible to generate an essay into its best shape. Through the intense brainstorming, structured outlining, and many revisions of my paper assignments, I have developed a sense of confidence about my writing. Throughout the many paper assignments throughout my lifetime, I learned to dislike comparison and contrast papers the most because I felt coerced into following a specific structure. Surprisingly enough, my comparison and contrast…

writing any type of paper you have to make sure that your sources are legible and unfortunately a prime example of an illegible site is wikipedia. Remember never use that site for information you never know who actually wrote the information for your topic. So to get the appropriate information I had to do month's worth of research to get all that I needed to construct my paper and with each article I read I had to summarize it in my notebook so when the time came to write the paper my…

transitions, and awkward quote integration. I learned how to identify and work through these grammar weaknesses by the feedback provided by Dr.Harris correcting what I said wrong and by circling the errors made on my paper showed me exactly what I did wrong. He also would write comments on my paper stating what I needed to work on and the things that I did that were good. I think that I still continue to struggle with my grammar when it comes to the correct use of punctuation. I think that for…

that the papers are harder and it’s possible that the topics can get a little more complex but that’s nothing to stress over. You’ll find a way to get through it and pass like you always…
