Research Essay Reflection

By -
1. What are you most proud of in this essay?

In this essay, I am most proud of my literature review because I was able to remain unbiased on my      topic on euthanasia.  Since these is a critical topic I was afraid that I was going to be biased when comparing the benefits and harms of this practice.

2. What would you change or add in the essay given more time?

If I was given more time I would probably add to my conclusion to coherently display my opinions on my research topic to the audience.

3. Considering the steps that we took (outline, annotated bibliography, peer review) which benefited you the most and how?

Out of all the steps we took during this research assignment, including the outline, annotated bibliography, and peer review I believe the annotated bibliography benefited me most. The annotated bibliography gave me an understanding of my sources which helped within the literature review.

4. In terms of writing and not the topic of your essay what did you learn?

This research assignment taught me how to coherently write a literature review. I never had the option on writing a whole literature review in the past so having the opportunity to do this now will be beneficial for me in the future.

5. What would you change about this assignment?

If I were to change one aspect of this assignment, I would add to the annotated bibliography.  I believe it would be more beneficial to annotate more sources so that we have a greater understanding on the research topic and sources involved.

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

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.
