Argumentative Synthesis
My synthesis turned out to be very well written this time. I feel like the extra time we had and the peer editing were definitely beneficial to my paper. The person whoever edited my paper had many great things to say and also constructive criticism. She helped me to enhance my paper along with Professor during office hours. Not to mention i started my paper on time which gave me time and i didnt have to rush and wasnt able to focus. Normally not to good at writing papers, but i believe this was a good one.
Synthesis
My synthesis came together in the end very well thanks to the steps we learned in class. I learned how to put multiple ideas together and use them logically in a way that i can explain to the reader. For my synthesis i did an informative style. I had to put all ideas into a logical order and that had to do with the same topic. It was difficult, but thanks to the in class discussions and peer reviews i was able to successfully form a paper that had a clear purpose.
Peer review
The peer review was a success for me once again. Even though I revised it myself, I still missed several errors.I definately took my classmates advice on my synthesis paper.Also I will be going to the writing center tomorrow to make sure my synthesis is at its best before I hand it in. This week I realize I had all the resources I needed to recieve an A on this assignment.
Peer review
I am really glad we were able to peer review again. I even recieved comments on my paper from professor ludeker which I also thought was helpful. It is nice to do things like that in class because I feel more confident with my work when I am finished. For the most part I am finished now however I still feel my conclusion is a little weak.
Thursday class
I liked that we got to go over our papers in class on Thursday. Reviewing the sources and writing quotes on the board helped me make my paper just that much stronger. I am confident that all of our papers will be really good when we hand them in on Tuesday.
writing a conclusion
So I have written my whole paper and I am pretty proud of my work. However, the conclusion seems weak to me. I feel like my conclusion is just my first paragraph again. Does anyone have any suggestion to make a stronger ending?
Sythesis
Overall I felt that writing the synthesis was fairly easy. Since I’m researching a topic I am very knowledgable on I know what I’m talking about. The only trouble I had was with the conclusion like always. I just always find it hard to write them. I am looking forward to the peer review today.
Synthesis
Both classes this week helped me get a start on my synthesis paper. I liked how we got to work with our sources in class and get our thesis statements together. I sometimes have trouble figuring out where to start when I write papers but I feel like this week helped me get started. It also gave me some ideas of where I want to go with my synthesis and what my main points or ideas are. I also think the peer editing class on Tuesday will help a great deal just like it did on my critical analysis.
After class 10-27
After class today I was glad to hear that we are doing another peer review for the synthesis this time. I found it very helpful last time. And also somewhat motivating. It’s nice to receive praise for things you do in life. Hopefully in the long run it helps me get a better grade. I also think it benefits myself because I can gather some ideas on how to organize ideas within my writing from others.
In class I also thought the questions we asked ourselves about our topics to narrow our purpose were very helpful. Not just for our synthesis but also for my final paper. The thesis also helped.
I am actually interested in writing this document as well as the final paper.
Love
In class we discussed one of the key purposes for writing a synthesis. To explain the Discuss/Define style we used the word love. I thought this was really interesting, because i didnt always think of how many different meanings a word can have. Which made me recognize how there are so many other perspectives of a word from other people, so it makes sense to really clarify certain words for the reader to understand. Love to me was said by someone in class, its strong feelings for a person and an emotional attachment. However, i also think of it as caring and looking out for someones well being. These two definitions are the first to pop into my head when i am writing the word love in my paper. Therefore, if the reader does not think of love as these two meanings then i may be confusing them and not making my point in the paper. Thus i will have to discuss and define the word love to back up and support my point. The main point is you can’t assume the meaning of the word.
