Processing

When I write a paper or complete an assignment, I'm very good in thinking things through and attempt to be a perfectionist. I tend to read and re-read things over before I submit a completed assignment. Sometimes it can be nerve wrecking at times because I've been known to re-write things more than just a couple of times on the first draft just because of how unsatisfied I was with the appearance and how I worded things.

I do know I need to work on not being a procrastinator and try to give myself enough time to complete work. I tend to give myself a heavier work load towards the due dates then what it would of been originally if I completed my work at the first notice.

I tend to struggle with creating a persuasive paper that makes sense. I'm not very good at trying to express my opinions intellectually and with plenty of information to support my theories/thesis. I think sometimes I put too much emotion into a persuasive paper and in which can get me to sidetrack in the paper and jumble things around to making my instructor(s) raise a question mark after reading.

I think what I've learned most in this class is how to transition myself from writing one form of an assignment to going completly the opposite way. The first assignment was more narrative and personal. After completing the paper, then the informative assignment arose and in which made me have to change my way of thinking on what I wanted my paper to look like. I had transition myself in sounding more informative and factual in what I had to say instead of expressing feelings and emotions. It took me a minute or two but I think I successfully completed it.
