Reflection


I started off doing a lot of research on my topic.  I know a lot about World War 2, just not about the after effects of it on Germany.  After I found some information I thought that I could use in my paper, I started making an outline of what I wanted my paper to be like.  This part was very easy because while I was researching, I was thinking about what I wanted in my paper and where I wanted it.  After I had my outline, I started working on my paper.  This was the longest and hardest part for me.  Eventually, I finished my draft and turned it in.  I didn't look at it for 10 days, and then when I looked at it so I could make it my final copy, I realized just how bad it was.  I ended up going and finding more information and pretty much redoing the entire paper.  I made sure all the formating was correct and then turned it in.  I felt like the most helpful thing was Dr. D's comments.  After I realized how bad it was, I didn't really know where to start fixing everything.  I started with her comments and they helped tremendously.  I don't think anything should change in this assignment.  

I was told by my peers that my biggest problem was formatting.  I fixed that easily.  Dr. D told me that I got off topic and to fix that/  I did everything that they told me to do and it made my paper better.  

I think that my ideas are the strongest.  They are there throughout the entire paper and it is supported with a lot of facts.  I'm not really sure what the weakest part of my paper is.  It might be word choice because I didn't use any big words or interesting words.  I used more common words.  

There is nothing else that I want you to know about my paper.


I spent about 2.5-3 hours total this week working on it
