I personally felt as if the writing process this time was a lot smoother than any of the other projects I have completed throughout the duration of this course. With the brief time limit that was given in class, I was able to pour my active thoughts onto the paper without overthinking my points. I strongly believe that this method made for a great chunk of work (in my opinion), and that I do arguably better under pressure. I also enjoy having checkpoints present throughout the weeks to motivate me to complete a portion of my writing gradually. With such efforts, I was able to launch into the finalization of my review process quite rapidly in comparison to my other projects. Most of my corrections were minuscule– either in rephrasing sentences, amplifying my word choices, or adding clarification on items such as my thesis or my body paragraphs. When it came time for the peer-revision process, I only had a couple major concerns I needed to work through.

As it comes to what I could do better next time in the future, I suppose I could give myself much more ample time to meet with outside resources. I found that with just the few minutes I had discussing my thesis with both my professor and peers alike, I was able to amplify my writing. I could also do a better job at my word selection—maybe instituting clever methods of linking words or weaving in a repetitious theme all throughout my writing. I feel as if this could be a very wise maneuver and would most definitely ensure the interest of my readers.

Additionally, I most definitely think for next time I should try and introduce a new perspective on the subject I am discussing. I find that when I stick to a thought for an extended period, such as the effects of technology, I find myself either becoming distracted or unable to focus for long spans of time. Perhaps if I had to write another technological-based paper, I would discuss the improvements in what a technological mind could offer, and how there is active supporting evidence for such claims. Of course, this discussion is still very much up in the air, but it could lead to an intriguing and captivating humanities read. Ultimately, I believe that the methods I have reinforced throughout my time in this English Composition course have been crucial in expanding upon my writing and literary functions.
