In class today we got out peer evaluations back of our Introduction, Reflection, and Conclusion essays. In my Introduction essay I tried to show how I have become a more self-guided writer and gave an example of this by showing the process that my research proposal went through. Upon receiving the feedback of my peers, I have decided that this section is very detailed and would fir better within the Reflection essay. Instead, I need to go into more detail about my style of writing in my Introduction and show my "fun writing style". My Reflections paragraph needs parenthetical citations as well as more information about how I feel the pieces have turned out. I cite many changes I have made (almost in a list like we discussed in class), so I now I will describe how these changes have benefited the paper to make it seem like less of a list. I would also like to try and find a bigger picture and connecting point and try not to make my portfolio seem like a success narrative.
Now that the semester is coming to a close, and with exams approaching quickly, I am going to try to spend some of my time studying this weekend as well as putting the final touches on my portfolio. This weekend will also involve some fun things such as the showing of Step Brothers at Squires for only 2 BUCKS! Saturday is the swim team dinner and Christmas party. The freshmen class is going to a Japanese steakhouse together and I am excited for fried rice and steak! Only 13 days until I go home again!
