Reflection 2 – Paper 1

In my essay I had a lot of punctuation errors and sentence structure errors, most of these were quick fixes but a couple of them needed full rewrites. I have not written an essay in 3 years so I am still kicking the rust off of my writing as a whole. I have watched multiple you tube videos on sentence structure and plan on implementing what I have learned moving forward. 

Nate suggested a couple times that I need to set my quotes up better as well as provide background as to who is speaking and their credentials. I realized during this round of revisions that the paper should be written assuming the reader has no background knowledge on the papers cited or the essay topic. This has helped me provide deeper detail on the quotes I have used. 

Nate also suggested that I need to provide transitions in between paragraphs especially while changing trains of thought. This has helped my essay read smoother and have more flow. A simple sentence merging the paragraphs has made a huge difference in the way this paper reads. 

I think I am good at using constructive feedback to better my essay. Even if there are comments that I don’t agree with, I still try to look at it in a way I can improve my essay and future papers.
