Again, for this essay grammar was not a big deal. I did not get any points marked down for grammar. From draft one to draft three I think that the hardest part for me was making sure I made myself clear on my thesis. It helped me a lot because we when over the prompt on class and Beth helped me fill in any holes in my logic. There was not one thing that did not help me on this essay. The workshops were good too because i got to read my thoughts out loud and correct any flaws.
Nothing really changed for me on understanding grammar and how important it is to the reader that you have correct grammar and punctuation. I think now I am at the point where I am comfortable with grammar patterns that I use but now I feel I could take it to the next level to make my writing sound and look more sophisticated.
The lecture that helped me a lot was the one Prof. Roberts did in class on the classic argument. I used the lecture to structure my paper and i definitely made the P.I.E structure more manageable. I learned a lot about the topics of regulation in this learning unit. It opened my eyes to a lot of different issues that are happening in the world. Very interesting.
On this essay I got the worst score out of the whole semester. The main reason I got points taken off was the MLA formatting. I do not think I will ever be able to master MLA but I have improved with each paper. I have also learned what not to do with MLA in each essay I write.
