Project 2 Reflection

1. I am most proud of the fact that I was able to find research that was valid because this debate is relatively new and I didn't know if there would be enough research studies to accurately support my argument.
2. I would potentially change the studies I used and find more that would support that there are studies being conducted to limit the impact of hits to the head.
3. I feel like the annotated bibliography helped me the most because it forced me to find studies that were valid early and by doing the small annotations, I was able to save time writing the paper because I could just copy my annotations over to my actual paper.
4. I learned that I need to reread my essay more for flow because I tended to ramble on about one area and then I would abruptly go into the next topic area with no real transition or introduction of the next idea.
5. I would change nothing about this assignment. I feel like was well planned. If i had to change something, it may be the time between the first draft and final paper. I would give a week or week and a half because the turn around time was a little short.

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

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.
