Essay 4: Proposal

Post your narrative responses to the following questions to your BLOG.  Please write your responses in complete sentence/paragraph format.

1.       What were your biggest challenges in researching and writing your Proposal?

a.      My biggest challenge when researching and writing my proposal was making sure I had enough supporting information. This was difficult for me because am personally not a great researcher, I seem to find everything interesting and not know what is valuable and what isn’t.

2.      What do you feel is the best element of your final proposal?

a.      I feel that the best element of my proposal was the fact that I could relate to the statements I was making so there was an element of my own voice in the paper. It was not strictly fact but also was personal encounters and feeling in the writing making it easier to read and flow better.

3.      What do you feel is the weakest element of your final proposal?

a.      The weakest element I think would be the information, I don’t think I gave enough or could seem to find enough information in which I found valuable. This is a difficult element in all my writing, the paper has too much of my voice in it at times.

4.      What could you have done differently to improve your overall performance with both the Literature Review and the Proposal?

a.      I think I could have put more time into the paper, I did work very hard and put time but I don’t think I allotted the correct time because I underestimated the amount of work it could take to do the paper.
