The essay’s I’ve completed throughout this semester have each been a work in progress. Although I feel I did a great job going through and using proper citation in the final draft of my second essay, you can clearly see in the first draft of this same essay that I did not put much thought, or effort in ensuring my punctuation and grammar were accurate. I even had comments from peers like, “I recommend making the font size 12” and “Just make sure these cites are MLA format”. I was also using incorrect citations which were brought to my attention through my peers’ revision. I have developed throughout the semester a different way to write from when I was in high school. Although, still learning and practicing, the new methods still require some work. When I was in high school, we were taught to get everything down in writing and then we worked on the structure and everything else after. I have learned this is not the case, I can’t make my first draft super sloppy and not understandable, because then my final draft may still end up with errors or mistakes that are overlooked. Plus, my peers can’t provide feedback on something they do not understand. You can see all kinds of mistakes and errors when you look at my first week writing assignment, but from that assignment to the final draft of Essay 3, there has been a tremendous amount of effort put towards my citation and ensuring my small mistakes are taken care of, this has gotten to the point that less and less mistakes are being made in my writing.
