Assignment 1: A Critical Analysis

Satisfactory Essays

During the time of writing Project 1 I experienced immense growth, in all four WPA outcomes and all eight habits of mind. I had to use the WPA outcomes in the very first assignement we did for Project 1. In this assignment we had to analyze three different profiles and understand why they were examples of effective profiles.

I reccieved reviews of my rough draft from my peers and my prfoessor who said they understood the place I was trying to describe but it needed work as it was not as strong an explaniation as it could be. I had also not added a picture to my essay and that was something I added to give a better image of the place I was trying to describe. Before submitting the final draft I would write a paragraph almost every day and save these as new drafts. In the end I got feedback from a few of my friends and asked them which paragraphs they felt were a good description of the place I was trying to descibe. I feel that this paper was a good learning experience as I learned where my shortcomings are while writing this paper but I did not fully implement them in this paper and that is something I will be doing in Project 2. This paper was a good learning experience and I felt that my final draft was a good representaion of my work but in project 2 I will try and make sure that it is a representaion of my best
