- what’s one strength that you feel confident about?
In this paper I feel I was able to articulate my thoughts very well. I felt very confident expressing my opinions on subject matters and building off of them and connecting them to other thoughts. Because of this I was able to seamlessly connect Velasquez-Manoff to Nguyen to Gay; three articles who vary in some way but all have a very similar message. I will continue to build off of this in future papers.
- what’s one weakness to work on in the next paper?
- A weakness I need to work on in future papers is organization. My thoughts were kind of all over the place in this last paper. I need to work on structuring my thoughts so they follow a consistent pattern and are easily read. Another thing I need to work on is my quotes, setting them up and citing them. This is relatively new to me and I need to follow the structure on the cite handout.
- what do your grades (1-5 on the last 3 items) on the paper itself tell you about strengths and weaknesses?
- Exploring your own ideas 4
- Apparently my ability to explore my ideas was good but there’s room for improvement. I think I can improve this by connecting the paper to myself more
- Engaging with the sources 3
- I think I can tie the sources better to the main theme of the paper and I will look to improve on this and doing so will make the paper better as a whole.
- Connecting ideas, paragraphs, and sources 4
- I think this connects back to the organization aspect of the piece as a whole. Being able to tie all of these together ijn a structured way will benefit my paper as a whole.
