Research Paper Response

By -
1.       I am most proud of that I conducted a survey and was able to analyze the results to test a hypothesis.
2.       What I would change or add in the essay is I would have conducted an actual observational study instead of just a survey to see if that would give me better, more accurate results.
3.       Considering the steps, we took before writing the essay, the annotated bibliography helped the most because it forced me to have my sources already ready and also not only have my sources but also know a summary about them, which helped significantly with my literature review.  
4.       My take away from project two, not only is just the understanding of how to write a research paper and what a research paper consists of but also the fact that I can write my own research paper.

5.       If I could, I would change the time frame for the assignment, maybe add another draft in between the final with another conference.

"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.
