Instead of rushing headlong into a paper and writing it all in one sitting, working through the writing process actually forced me to stop and thoroughly read every source to find what information I agreed/disagreed with. Pre-writing helped to pinpoint what my beliefs/ideas were in both the personal culture paper as well as the quote-directed paper. Peer review and tutoring really helped to improve the conciseness of my papers, drawing all my thoughts and ideas into clear, cohesive paragraphs…

The difference is that I actually went in and before I did go in, I had to do something I have never done before. I have always thought that the head coverings that most woman wear were really cool. Wearing one was actually fun, even if a little difficult since I seemed to have forgotten a hairband. Going in there was no…
