Feelings on Part 2 of Our BIG Paper!

So I just posted the second part of my paper, and I thought I'd talk about it a little. Honestly, the second part was a little easier then the first part. The part that I had the most trouble with was finding the actual information. That actually took me longer to do then write the actual paper.Once I found the information, I knew I was on the right track. For once, I actually felt like I knew what I was doing. The guide Wendy gave us really helped. I knew what I had to talk about, and I feel that I successfully did that. However, I do KNOW that I made some mistakes. I'm glad that we have our groups to kind of help us out. I think they will play a major part in whether we make a good grade or not. I really can't wait to see what they have to say about it, and how I can make my paper better. Lord knows I need a good grade on this! Especially since this is like 9,000,000,000,000,000% of our semester grade! LoL... I wonder how everyone else feels about their writing process on the 2nd part!?!

That’s great that you had an easier time with this part. I’m going to read yours tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to that. For me it was easier and harder - I didn’t have the flu while writing it this time, so that was a plus, but I did stress about it a lot. What Wendy said about looking not just at the history of the topic, but the history of the controversy surrounding the topic, was a huge help for me in finding my focus. I feel like it’s really falling into place now.
