Deadline #13 HW #3 WP #3 Reflection

After working hard this whole semester on WP #3, I am happy it is over. The each deadline had steps towards in completing WP #3. It started at week one with choosing a topic and research question. Majority of the rest of the semester was reading chapters about different ways to present arguments in WP #3 and finding information. I spent a lot of time looking for good sources as my evidence in my paper. The last couple weeks was about writing a rough draft of WP #3 and doing a large scale revision. Without all this work, I would not have a made a good paper. Hard work does pay off. I would not have changed anything I did this writing project. I believed I covered everything in my ability and my final draft shows it. If there was another writing project I would follow the same steps because these steps help you create a paper that is worthy and well-written. The most proud about this paper is that I stayed true to myself and chose a topic that I am passionate about. I did not care what others think about me or my paper. I was expressing my strong feelings about hunting and trying to change the views of others. The most concern I was of this paper was making sure I covered both sides of the argument. My paper is nine pages long with lots of pro-hunting paragraphs. I had to go back and add more paragraphs about anti-hunting to balance out my paper. What I wanted to improve on with this writing project was to have minimum grammar errors. Past papers I was having problems with grammar, so I worked hard on this project to stop it. After revisions, I realized my errors were few and far in between. It was a nice change. This writing project is a big part of my grade, so I made it a priority of mine to do well. The course outcome was to write a research paper with an argument and I feel I achieved this. The course outcomes for WP #4 is to make a course portfolio with summaries of each type of reflection.

Maybe that's why so many in this class dropped. Maybe they just didn't pick a topic that they had a real wish to learn about.
