D6, HW3, Writing Reflection

The steps I took to complete this writing project were first doing some preliminary research and figure out which topic I would choose. I did some research on a couple different topics to really narrow down what I wanted to do my research on. I then had to find many sources pertaining to that research topic to get a general feel for it and make sure it is what I wanted to do my research on. I then figured out a research question, in which I had to change because it did not make too much sense. I have a problem procrastinating, however these weekly assignments all leading up to the writing assignment, help me not be so much of a procrastinator. Something I would definitely try to do different next time is still not procrastinate as much as I did. I am most proud of in this writing project of the amount of work I put in. I usually do not put so many hours and all the research leading up to this as normal. If I had more time, I would have liked to put some actual statistics into my research proposal, just to make it seem more interesting. One writing skill I would like to work on is using better diction. Sometimes when I write, I feel I use a lot of verbiage over and over, or even too easy of words and would like to change them out for more complex ones.

It doesn't seem like you procrastinate too much...you are usually one of the first ones to post, and finish them all before the deadline. I enjoy reading your postings, and I can tell you are really interested in your topic.

Me and you both Jared, procrastination is our best friend. However I totally agree, the way the class is set up, its almost impossible to procrastinate too much. If it wasn't for this blogger thing, I don't know what I'd do........

It's great that you researched your topic so much before writing about it. It seems like some people don't know what they are talking about. It definitly paid off for ya. Good job.
