- What feedback did you receive from your instructor or your peers that you agreed with? What did you decide to do about that feedback? If there was feedback you received that you did not agree with, discuss what that was, why you did not agree with it, and what you did about it (It is perfectly fine to disagree with feedback—this is your paper). Use specific examples from your paper.
One piece of feedback that was given to me was the fact that I had a lot of ‘fluff’. I always give too much detail that ends up being monotonous. I agree with her but without that fluff my papers would never reach the required words. The way that I write is very straight to the point so ‘fluff’ needs to be added.
- What was the most difficult part of this assignment for you? What did you do to meet this challenge? What goals are you setting for the next assignment? Knowing yourself, what do you need to do in order to accomplish your goals?
The most difficult part of this assignment has always been juggling this homework with homework with other classes. This project was done the night before the rough draft was due. Right now this is because my only academic goal is to complete all my homework, whether or not it is last minute or not. Knowing myself, I should try to start working on it a couple days ahead of time so I don’t spend the whole night working on a paper.
Jack, sometimes all you can do is your best when it comes to turning in homework! I think everyone struggles with managing their workload, so the key is to try to improve in small increments when you can.
Do you have any goals that you’d like to work on with communication skills? Identifying a few key skills that you’d like to improve might be a good approach to relying less on “fluff” and more on producing the kind of substance that you like to see in other people’s writing.
