online class journal maybe?
I hate my WP@. It is terrible. Estimated grade is a 6.5. I found it incredibly hard to write a paper that had an interesting thesis, fulfilled the prompt, and was 5-6 pages. I had no idea how to do it, and I think my paper struggles from lack of focus.
things I did well: I had a more specific thesis from before, I had shorter paragraphs, and I had more concise sentences as well.
Things I didn't do well: I have terrible structure in my essay as well as terrible flow. My paper seems disjointed as well as lazily written. I shoehorned in stuff from the course reader that doesnt necssarily fit into my essay just to fit the prompt. My tone and style are inconsistent throughout the essay.
Q2:
The one that helped me the most was that my paper was too content oriented. another one that was good was how to fit the course reader into my essay. These helped me identify what was wrong with my paper and also gave me a solution to the problem
ReplyDeleteThats really shitty that you arent happy with your WP@... Im sorry dude! Cut yourself some slack though because I think this prompt was one of the hardest that any of us have ever had to attack. I also had the same problem with my draft being really disjointed and choppy, I think that probably happened because there were so many different aspects to write about within the prompt. I hope you have more fun and feel better about the next WP!
You should probably be more confident with your paper, unless you're undoubtably certain that its crappy, and hey if it is, maybe you'll learn some new tricks for next time you write a paper. Something that is good is that you're actually recognizing you're mistakes, which means you can improve next time.
ReplyDeleteThe comment about the course reader was a good one, I often have difficulty talking about the course reader in my essays.
