Whats the most important thing that you learned about writing in this course?

I learned a great deal about structure! I feel that that is so important. Before this class I had no idea about segments, focus, reflection...ect.

What did I learn about writing one of my papers?

In my personal essay I learned a lot in my consult with Prof. Chandler. I think that really helped me the most to understand what I was lacking in the piece. I don't feel that my peers gave me much feedback or direction. I like to know what people think honestly and what I can change to make it better for the reader. It's hard to analyse your own work because you are to personally involved in it.

Which paper was the hardest to write?

Ha ha... The Nature essay. and since I am still having trouble with it, it is not a surprise that I would have choose it as the one I didn't like. I am in life, not in nature...at least that's how I feel, but I am sure the truth is that I am in Nature more than I think. I'm living on this earth, life(nature wise) is everywhere but I can't seem to relate it to anything. It gives me a headache to think about a correlation or metaphor.

What do I want to say in my reflective essay?

I want to show the process that I took to write prob my personal essay, if not my journalistic piece, we'll see, but I feel that I still have so much more work to do on my pieces that I don't know if I can show this to the correct advantage.

What don't I want to write about?

Nature essay
memoir because I feel that these don't have enough to say... i didn't work on them as much.
