ENG 123 Project Three
This is my reflection essay, the final project in ENG-123-R6110 English Composition II 23EW6. Since the beginning of this course, I have grown as a writer, became better at researching credible facts, proper source integration, and found which writing strategies worked best for me. I have grown as a writer because I am able to write a clear and well-thought-out persuasive essay. I did receive one comment from my instructor that I need to make sure I had a thesis statement at the end of my introduction paragraph. I only received one peer’s feedback. This classmate was confused with my goal and argument contradicting one another. My goal is to have more women pursue STEM-related careers so that gender bias will deplete. When I was writing my final draft, I made sure that I wrote a thesis statement as the last sentence in the introduction paragraph with three key points. This allowed me to keep the paragraphs organized and flow with the facts in my argument. During my revision, I agreed with my classmate that my argument and goal were contradicting each other. I did go back and tweak my argument and goals for clarity, and I feel that the paper is more understandable and makes a great argument.
. I was able to include scholarly facts that were credible and using the C.R.A.P.P.O. sheet helped me determine that my resources were credible and not outdated. I also found that using the Boolean words did help with finding more precise research. My only downfall was finding credible counterargument resources. This was very difficult. I was able to find one fact regarding
my counterargument and incorporated it into my paper. I didn’t receive any feedback on my research criteria on my rough draft. I feel that my argument was clear and precise.
