Project 2 Questions

By -
1. In this essay, I am the most proud of how I have learned how to find a proper and noteworthy source. In the past, I had just used sources that only agreed with my answer to and essay rather than use one that I could easily refute and make my essay stronger.

2. IF I was given more time I would probably add a survey or questionnaire to my essay to find the overall consensus regarding the thoughts and opinions of the FSU students around me. It would have enabled me to consider what was the most subversive idea on campus or in society general.

3. The annotated bibliography step definitely helped me more than any of the other steps because when I sat down to conduct my research I had a purpose for gathering the main points of a source and figuring out how I was going to use them in my paper. By the time I had finished my annotations my essay has essentially written itself. 

4. I learned that it is 100% beneficial to write an essay in separate parts rather than write it all at once. The proposal helped me because it helped me gather my jumble of ideas, the outline helped because I was able to figure our how I wanted to say things and in what order, the annotations helped I was able to get all of the answers I needed, and the draft 1 and peer review helped because I was able to get outside opinions.

5. The only thing I would change is word count of the final draft but that's due in part by the usual college laziness.

Navigating Genres Reading Response- Taylor Wilhelmy

"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

By -
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 school. This paper was more formal than other research papers I have written.
