I thought this essay was very successful in almost every way. The entire thing came together very easily for me. There were a few aspects that I did not find particularly helpful, but I wouldn’t call them negatives. The peer review was pretty dry, I cant glean much from someone saying, “Yours is really good! But you should make it more organized”. Also, the outline was an interesting part of this assignment for me, at first I resisted it, but towards the middle of the assignment, I found that it was essential to my organization of the essay. The amount of time was perfect, there wasn’t too much where I got lulled into a false sense of security, but I did not feel rushed. I found myself with lots of writing to play around with and change. I worked in it a little everyday, and before I knew it, I had a full essay done by the middle of the second week, so I had that much time to edit and re read. I also enjoyed making a thesis, this was my first time with that, and I liked the fact we could choose what we wrote about, so we couldn’t complain about our topic. And I liked the control of being able to choose, personally, I found my topic interesting and easy to write about. I also liked the mount of resources we had. It was a little overwhelming at times, but the amount of sources was a factor in being successful, I have never had an essay where I had that much information at hand before.
This essay has not affected my writing philosophy in any way, I still believe in it. The qualities I sketched out in my philosophy are goals, and I hope I lived up to those standards I set for myself.
