Term paper

semester in college and as soon as I was handed my syllabus my palms started sweating and my heart was pounding. I was not used to seeing all the work we would be doing in the class on one piece of paper, so I found it overwhelming. My biggest fear was not having the skills needed to apply the theories to a paper. However, as we started I realized I had no reason to be worried I was great at it! In my fall 202 class I learned that I have abilities with both inward and outward looking theories,…

I dealt with some more major problems within my paper as well. You commented that in my introduction I did not have a forecasting statement, so that was added to the paper. For the section that was titled tone, style, and emotional appeal, you made the comment that I did not discuss the actual emotional appeal or tone enough, and merely explained the purpose of the article. To improve this paragraph, I discussed what the emotional appeal of the paper was, what tone was set, and how that tied in…

I chose the Chapter One “On Folded Wings” project because ever since I was a kid I always loved using paper to make all sorts of things, including shapes, cards, airplanes, and boats. Creating and designing things is always fun, and when you are a kid paper is one of the most abundant materials you could have to make whatever you like. However, my motor skills were not up to the challenge of making complex origami designs, but now, I think I’m ready to give it a shot. I want to show in this…

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…

until recently, I hated writing papers. This seems like an ironic place to confess that, but it is true. I would dread the process of staring at a blank screen until I managed to get words to finally begin flowing. More than anything, I hated the revision process. I remember once I got a rough draft back from a teacher with some harsh criticism and nearly cried in class. I always hated my writing voice, it seemed too casual, not matter-of-fact enough. I would read papers from authors like David…

teacher has to read multiple papers on the exact same topic that they assign to check whether or not the students know what they think the students should know about specific material covered in class. Writing papers of this kind is a painstakingly miserable task for both the student and the teacher, especially if assigned for a similar purpose multiple times. For the teacher who assigns a paper very frequently will regret assigning the paper when he sees the stacks of papers he has to grade…

A short-term goal for me is to become a better academic writer. Writing a paper that flows eloquently will be essential in my near future. This skill is put to use in school for essays and for scholarships. Some of the aspects of my writing that I need to work on is expanding my vocabulary and having less choppy sentences. To achieve this goal I would write and review my essays daily. In addition, I would read novels and write down words I do not know. Then I will study, define and apply these…

concise paper through the use of a strong thesis statement. I still feel confident in my ability to do these things, but now I have added a few more things to feel confident in. I now know how to strengthen my introduction, which has always been…

creativity rather than analysis. We eventually began branching out and started writing persuasive essays and research papers. Of course, I enjoyed creative writing the best because it was an outlet to express my opinions. The second type of writing I felt most confident in was persuasive. In high school we made arguments based on a certain topic we choose. In my opinion, the best paper I’d written in high school was arguing why zoos should be banned. I had to do research both supporting my…

to write, but because I like to write and desire perfection. I am motivated to write but within that motivation comes fear of failure, struggle with not being perfect as I write the first draft. As I write this paper, it has been a challenge to stay focused and to put my thoughts on paper without revising in my mind as I go. Moving forward, I need to explore my motivations with writing and let go of the fears and perfectionism that holds me back. I look at the entirety of my writing experience…
