Annoying Ways response

By -
     After reading this article, my outlook on quotations has changed and in text citations has changed. Usually when I write a paper I try to drop a quotation in where it will be most beneficial, however I sometimes slack off on the in text citations. While reading this article, I see how some of these mistakes can make your work seem sloppy or not professional to other readers. Stedman gives several examples of good and bad quotations and in text citations. Also, I found this article fun to read. The author compared the proper and improper use of quotations to people driving recklessly. Having these comparisons in the article made it much more interesting to read. This article helped enhance mu understanding of the proper use of quotations in writing overall.

    I found Stedman's examples to be quite beneficial as they enhanced my knowledge on properly embedding quotations within an essay.

    I would also agree that I was not good at inserting quotes, and I feel that this article better prepared me.

Navigating Genres Reading Response- Taylor Wilhelmy

By -
"Navigating Genres" by Kerry Dirk makes you really think about what a genre is. Whenever I thought about genres, I always thought of it as the type of writing that is being created. All throughout school, we were taught that a genre was used to describe a novel such as nonfiction, fiction, fantasy, science fiction, etc. I never really thought of a piece of writing having a genre but now, after reading Dirk's piece, I now realize that writing does have a genre. Dirk also points out that genres are used to help people accomplish a goal. I never thought a genre could do that. I always thought it was used to just categorize novels or short stories but, now that I have read this piece, I now realize that genres are important because, if you write in the wrong genre, the message that you want to portray can come across completely differently then you had intended. The example that Dirk used of George Washington and his State of the Union Address. By using this genre, Washington...

Project 2 Reflection

1)      In this essay I am most proud of the new way in which I learned to write a research paper. I was able to incorporate new writing skills into my paper that I never learned in my high school classes but will aid me in my future writing. 2)      If I had more time to work on this essay I would try to include more specific details to support my topic from a wider range of sources and provide more reasoning to support the legalization of physician assisted suicide. 3)      Peer reviews benefitted my essay the most. This is because it provided me with a lot of constructive feedback that I was able to take into consideration while editing my paper. The teacher review also helped me inn a similar way because it gave me some direction with where to go with my essay. 4)      While writing this project I was able to learn a different way of writing a research paper in which I have previously done in high...
