Paper Reflection

1. My writing process followed the assignments we were given: write rough draft, edit rough draft, and complete rough  draft. The most difficult part of this procedure was probably editing. After looking over Dr. deGravelles' comments, I realized there were quite a large amounts of errors in my paper. In the next few days I had to work hard to compensate for my mistakes. Though it was a difficult process, it still proved the most useful and productive part. However, the transition from edited draft to complete wasn't useful to me. I had cleaned up a lot of the problems during the editing process. The main two corrections I made in this part were connecting the paragraphs smoothly and creating a strong conclusion. Lastly, I think you've done fine in preparing students for this assignment. The due dates are nicely spread out with understandable amounts of homework to fill.

2. I received a fair amount of good, informational feedback. My fellow peers helped strengthen my paper in terms of word choice and sentence fluency. Matthew Garrett specifically pointed out I was missing a source (Thanks!). Both Dr. deGravelles and my classmates played a big role in my editing process; I used their advice in my paper.

3. I believe it is safe to say the word choice in my paper is strong. Ever since I was young, I loved using big, sophisticated words. But at those ages, I tended to use them incorrectly and ruin the sentence fluency. However, I am not so confident in my ideas. After talking about the disadvantages of social media, I began talking about the advantages. During this process, I started losing ideas. I felt as though I needed the amount of disadvantages to be equivalent to the amount of advantages. For this reason, I could have put in some useless filler unknowingly.

4. Nope, nothing much to say here.
