Questions #3

1. To be honest, I don't read over my papers unless I'm told to do so. I dislike over viewing my work because I just don't like to. Yeah, I agree that reviewing your work many times can help catch a few things. You can indeed find errors, or phrases you can restate for the better of the paper. But, when it comes down to reviewing my paper, I wouldn't unless necessary.

2. "Considering the Evidence" can be used to support your claim. With your own personal experiences, it can help remove the doubts of others who think otherwise if you hadn't have had any examples. Evidence helps get your point across to the reader, thus creating a claim that is hard to retaliate against.

3. Of course the most important part about the section " Academic Writing is an Analysis?" is the explanation of what an analysis and how to "Analyze" Academic Writing. It increases the efficiency of reviewing papers and keep it less chaotic. I say we should review over everything, so I can confirm that I indeed understand the section.

4. I can see that both papers tell you to have a rational paper. However, one of the charateristics tell you to vision the reader, as the rubric does not. Also, the rubric shows more technical points and tips to create a paper. But, both papers expect you to indeed, have a very nice paper.

-Side Note-
Not sure if I answered them right. :T I blame the fire breathing turtles.

  1. Well Bona, I couldn't have said most of this better myself. Especially what you said for #3. Many people think they know how to analyze a paper, but it goes beyond just looking at what a person's written.

  2. The rubric is there as a guide for you to write your paper. It is the embodiment of what our teacher wants, but it isn't set in stone. It's more of what is expected of us instead of it being an actual set of rules for us to follow. Both the pdf and rubric cover general key points for us to craft a better paper, as you've stated.
