For my final essay, I have taken the time to write my paper progressively through these few weeks. For example, the first day I received my assignment, I began to construct the outline of my essay and started to create a web diagram of my thoughts and ideas. The second day, I worked on my introduction and formulated my thesis statement. The following day, I began to organize the body paragraphs. Lastly, I concluded my paper by restating my main points and addressing my final viewpoint. I set aside time to revise my paper several times making sure that I have met all requirements. Using my negative feedback from previous papers, for example “Cats vs. Dogs,” I have focused a lot on the mechanics of my paper. I received comments in areas that

Our main goal was to write a proposal argument based on the issue that was picked by the students and address the causes or the effects of in your Causal Argument. This paper was fifteen hundred to eighteen hundred words, with a little over a month to complete it. The controversial topic that came to my head that has been talked about for years now; why college athletes should be paid. With this tedious and prolonged essay, I was able to receive personal, but constructive criticism. My essay was supposed to persuade others to take action on a controversial topic. Due to the abundant amount of smaller deadlines, I was more focused on writing a well-developed paper. After each deadline I was able to get back my mistakes and correct them. Throughout the year the same mistakes held present in my essays.
The thesis statement should appear very close to the beginning of the paper. Some professors want it in a specific place — often the last sentence of the first paragraph. That's as good a position as any, but I prefer not to be rigidly formulaic in such matters. In any case, though, the thesis statement should be very near the beginning (in the first paragraph or

In the beginning of my research I had trouble thinking of a topic, I brainstormed and jotted down topics that are of my interests and topics that are currently going on I then decided to choose my topic on free public college education. In the beginning of my search for articles on free college education, I had trouble looking for the right articles I mostly received results that were not related to free public college education and this frustrated me. I then tried to be as specific as possible when it came to the keywords I then used Boolean searching, this gave me more relatable sources on my topic. Boolean searching is what helped me the most when it came to looking for articles that are useful for my
In the process of submitting my essay for review, I requested that the writing specialist focused on my thesis statement, grammar, and mechanics. When writing academic papers and discussion responses, I often struggle with clarity, sentence structure, and punctuation, which result in lower assignment grades. Therefore, to ensure that I clearly communicate my argument and facts in my final paper, I felt that it was necessary to have these two areas reviewed. Regarding my thesis statement, I wanted to ensure that my position, supporting reasons, and implications were combined, effectively.
A thesis statement is a sentence that explains the position that someone has about a certain topic. A thesis statement is not facts, but i specific opinion that someone has about a certain topic. It is a response to a question that their paper is centered around. It gives the reader a clue to what the paper is going to be about. It must stick to one topic and one position.

The first paper that I wrote for this class showed where I was at in my writing abilities leaving high school and entering college. I feel as though my first paper could have been improved in how I constructed my sentences and used specific words. I knew my first paper needed revision because I have grown stylistically as a writer and have found my own voice, since the first paper was turned in. Due to me growing stylistically, I decided to go back and read over the comments made by Professor Olsen and also revise areas that I thought were geared more towards high school writing. Within my first paragraph, I included a transition from the introductory and background information to the thesis of the paper. I felt this was necessary because a skill that I lacked before completing this course was how to intertwine one topic with another, making the paragraphs flow together. Now that the introduction flows together, readers are able to understand how one topic relates to the other, making it a stronger paragraph. I also focused on my conclusion, specifically my concluding sentence. One of the main comments that Professor Olsen made was the original concluding sentence was too much of a cliffhanger that might have led the audience in a different direction than what I was intending. To solve this issue, I revised the last sentence to be more concrete and definite. I provided the reader with factual evidence, while also including the findings of the study. While not leaving the

I knew that sooner or later I would have to show someone my essay so I asked my friend, Brianna, for help. She edited my essay and she pointed out the fact that I strayed too far from prompt and wrote too much about Damien. It was hard to take criticism on this topic since it was so personal to me. I knew that Brianna was trying to help me so, I took a look at the paper and I tried to cut out the thing that were unnecessary and write more about the actual prompt, but it was really hard. I began showing my essay to more of my friends and I got a lot of the same remarks from people saying that I wrote too much about Damien and not enough about the test. Before this paper, I never took people 's criticism when writing, but I began to realize that they were just trying to help me and that it was not personal. When I went home the next day I started my essay from scratch and changed the focus from Damien to the test. After this, I compared the essays and I still liked the first essay more, but realized what my friends were talking about the first paper had
