I feel that the assignment/document that was most useful during this research paper process is blog entry #9. This entry is where we had to read two articles very carefully and summarize every paragraph. I feel that it was really useful, because it showed me what my articles were about. I felt that I had a better understanding of my research and my topic after completing that blog entry. I have another assignment/document was when we had to do our annotated bibliography. In this assignment we had to give a summary of what our research articles were about. I feel that it was useful, because it helped me write my lit review and it should me what my articles were about.
I feel that the most useful feedback that I received at any stage of this research process was when I had my conferences with Marlen and Andrew. The conferences helped me get great feedback, because it showed me where I was as a researcher and they helped me figure out something with my paper if I was stuck. I feel that the peer reviews and the writing center gave great feedback, because I found out that some parts of my paper were repetitive. With the peer review projects they gave great feedback by letting me know where I made mistakes and where I stand on my paper.
The most difficult part of this drafting process was just putting parts of my paper together. It was difficult because I was not sure where to start or how to start. Another part that was difficult for me was to write my story for the end of my research paper. It was difficult because it was a very personal subject to touch upon. There was really no easy part when drafting my paper.
I feel that my lit review shows my best ability as a writer, because I was told that it was good. I also feel that it was my best section, because I really did my research on my papers and I compared them to each other. I used all of my articles that I had to find for my research.
