Struggles

The main struggle that I have had so far was doing the research. I had to rely on my friends, through Facebook, to get the answers that I needed. I really appreciate the friends that helped me, but I have well over 100 friends on Facebook and only maybe a dozen or so actually responded. I was a little let down, and will have to write a paper using a small research base.

Papers of my past

I have never had to write a paper like the one that we are currently assigned. This IMRD is very hard to do. It may not seem so bad if I had more time to work on it. I still need to do more research. I feel very rushed with this assignment. I hope that I am able to obtain a decent grade on this, even though I have rushed through this assignment.

Reflection

I really struggled with this paper. I am not very good with writing a summary, and I have never done a response like this. I hope that I did well for not having much experience with this style of writing. I am also unsure of my citations. I hope that I have done them in the proper MLA format. I believe that I did the work cited right I am not sure of the citations within my paper though.

Citations

I have never really used MLA citation before now. But after going over how to do it in class and the cheat sheets that we have in the keyes book, I really don't see me having a problem doing this. The citation for this class was pretty basic, I just used a book from another class. In the future it may be a little more difficult, when you have multiple citations or are lacking some of the information needed.

Summary struggles

I have never been very good at writing summaries. I usually add too much information. I really hope that I am able to write a good summary for our current assignment. I usually have a problem picking out what is important info and what is not. I think that part of the problem is that I do not have much experience with it. Maybe after I do this many times I will have it down. I hope that I get some good feedback in my peer groups to help me with this problem.
