D#6 H#3

One of the steps I used in my WP#1 was critical reading. I tried to be as critical as I could be. This way, I would hopefully find any sentences that were grammatically incorrect. I also tried to find areas that I could clarify and make easier to read.
I am most proud of the fact I have such a clear idea of how to write my paper. Usually I just pick a topic and wing it. I do a little research, but I have never really thought of my audience, or planned how to reach my objectives. I know that is really bad, and I plan on never doing that again! Especially after all that I have learned this semester.
One of my main concerns is making sure that I did the WP#1 right. I didn’t get any feedback from my peers, and I don’t think the directions on how to write there paper were very clear. It was clear in some areas but I think there is a lot of room for one’s own interpretation of how to address writing a research proposal. I tried to address this concern by reading, and re-reading the directions, but I still was a bit confused. If there is anything that I could change, I would probably talk to the professor and ask for some direction or suggestions.
Last time I checked I didn’t get any reports from Turnitin. Hopefully I will with this one. I would really like to know how I am doing, and what I could change.
I strived to have a clear focus throughout the paper. This can be difficult for me at times. I accomplished this by being aware of my focus. If I was thinking of five other things when I was supposed to be writing my paper I would take a break and collect my thoughts. Usually when I went back to my paper after that I had better focus. One skill I will be diligently working on is smooth transitions from thoughts. Sometimes I tend to break the thought I’m discussing before it is finished.
One outcome I will be focusing on achieving for my next project is getting better at all aspects of writing. Especially grammatical structure and establishing clear focused objectives.
