Caroline's Academic Writing Self-Assessment
Last semester I was able to write and present my Senior Thesis for my art history major. It was a very long process with lots of writes and rewrites. I used my paper from a previous class and reworked a lot of it. I had lots of angles and lots of research included to make it a strong paper. I am - and was in my thesis - able to find lots of information and quotes that supported my theories. I enjoy writing papers and telling my opinions and thoughts, which are supported by facts. Especially in art history, where i presented a new angle on a very popular artist. I tend to struggle with following an outline and focusing all my thoughts into a coherent paper. I don't enjoy doing peer editing, I have my own way of editing and working with people on my papers, so peer editing is extra work for me.

I completely agree with the peer editing comment!! Peer editing is extra work on myself and typically not much help in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I feel like peers are often more opinionated than critically helpful. And following an outline isn't for everyone: some people just can't use one, while others can't live without one.
