Revisions

Currently I am in the process of writing an argumentative paper in the form of a letter regarding the reliability of Wikipedia. After doing the peer reviews in class and listening to other papers being critiqued out loud I realize what changes that I must make to my paper. I need to develop some of my ideas more clearly and explain the "why" aspect of each paragraph. Also, after hearing several other papers, I think that I need to focus more on the letter aspect of my paper.This is the most difficult part for me. I know what I want to say, but sometimes it is hard to convey that in the form of a letter to someone. Overall, I feel that revising my paper is going pretty well, however I am interested to see what others think of my changes and how well they work.

Troubles with my argument essay

I am currently in the process of writing an argumentative essay in the form of a letter regarding the credibility of Wikipedia articles. I am having some trouble with organizing my thoughts and ideas. I have a general idea of what I want to write about, however it is difficult to put it all together. Also, I'm having a hard time deciding what quotations to use and where to use them. The Wikipedia article that I am writing on is very reliable and accurate. However, a lot of the readings discuss how Wikipedia is controversial and not always trustworthy. I do not want to contradict myself by using certain quotes from these articles.

A time I was proud of what I wrote

  Last year I took a biology class and had to write a paper on a topic related to biology. I chose to write about microRNAs, something I had little interest in and knew nothing about. However, once I began writing my paper I grew more and more interested in microRNAs. I worked extremely hard on the paper and received an A. I ended up learning a lot through the writing process of this assignment and was happy with the ending results. Overall I was extremely proud of my writing and the grade I received for it.

What good grades mean to me

To me, good grades mean that I am working hard and taking my classes seriously. They show others as well as myself that I am a good student and I am serious about my future. Good grades illustrate what I am capable of accomplishing and reflect what type of student I am. Additionally, getting good grades means that I am one step closer to obtaining my degree. Therefore I take my grades very seriously and try my hardest to do as well as I can in all of my classes.
