So, I got the paper done. It took a few hours to write, which isn’t bad. I also had a lot of help editing from friends. They help me a lot with editing (not one of my strongpoints). Which is funny since when I went to class for peer editing I was requested to edit a fellow classmates paper. I guess it seemed that since there was a lot of writing on the first classmate’s paper I edited, which was because they made the same mistakes over and over again. I am not an editor I can help with content, and a few mistakes. The most common mistake in the 2.5 papers I edited was that they used the article writer’s first name to refer to them. I learned a while ago not to unless you know them personally, which in this case I would bet a lot of money that they did not know the author personally.
I made the corrections that I was suggested to me by my fellow classmates. There was not a lot of them however Dr. Morris looked over my last paragraph and gave me suggestions on where I could expand. I took her advice and added where she thought it would be a good idea.
This was my first big paper since I started here at Kutztown University. The sad fact is that my high school papers were harder to write I don’t know if it was because I was constantly monitored and wasn’t just let free to write like I am here, or if it was because I am so use to writing papers that it is easier to write them now.
The semester is almost over and there is still a lot to do on the project. We are in the final stretch on a close race, the project will get done, but how well it is done is still up in the air. We meet for project three soon and that may be the deciding factor on this whole thing. For now I have my part turned in and just need to wait for a grade.
