Blog Assignment 8

This paper was definetly the hardest out of every paper that I have wrote. The length is always a hard part for me. I got a good 5 pages and some of the peer reviews suggest that I make it a tad bit longer. I will have to re-read the paper and see what I can do. I also had a suggestion about using the word "I" in my paper. I will go back and change that. It was just a mistake while I was writing. I also had a suggestion about signal phrases. I am not too sure on what those are but I will look it up and see what it is about to know what I can do in my paper. I really had some good reviews on it being both informative and persuasive. They liked my conclusion and introduction. I really appreciate the compliments and the good advise I was given. I will recheck the paper as well for grammar errors. After I really narrowed down my topic and got to a point on what I was going to write about with that topic things feel into place and made it a whole lot easier. I always make things harder than they really are. Thanks again for the peer reviews. Good Luck to everyone on this essay!

Blog Assignment 7

Writing a research paper can be very difficult. It seemed really easy picking a topic but I am having a hard time on what to write about with it. I have researched and seemed to have found plenty of resources but as I read them it does not seem to fit with what I think it should. I thought I had enough information to write the paper but I seem to find myself falling short. I am really behind on this essay due to the lack of information that I need. I am really going to have to work hard to have it even close to ready before tuesday. These are the worst papers to write. I found some info on the internet that would help me and I know I can use it but need the other sources as well. It seems a lot easier to get information off of the internet than reading 8 books and trying to get information out of them. Can we please have an extension on this paper? I totally understand if it is not possible. I will try my best to get asap but cant guarantee the quality it will have. I have so much trouble with these papers and especially it being a typed 6-8 pages.
