"A Reflection"

Piece 1: English 103 Research Paper
"Standardized Testing: Is It Worth It?" I really did agree with the point I was making with this essay, which made it that much easier to write. After writing it, well, maybe even during writing it, I noticed that I was ranting a lot in this paper. I didn't take the time to fix it though, which turned out to be one of my bigger problems in the piece itself. I feel like my writing was getting a little better in this piece, but like I said, the ranting caused a bit of a problem in this piece.

Piece 2: History 150 Writing Assignment
"Primary Sources and Secondary Sources" Let's just say that this one looked like it was longer on the paper it was turned in on. I feel that putting on a page here in the wiki shortened it so much that it begins to look like a cliffnote in the end. I will just say that the assignment wasn't meant to be long as it was really just meant to compare and contrast a primary and secondary source that I had found for a historical topic of our choice. My topic was the First Crusade,but that isn't exactly all that important over all in the writing itself.

Piece 3: English 103 Multigenre Paper
[|"A Bad Day in the Life..."] This was one of my personal favorites when it comes to my writings. Maybe it's just something weird about me considering that I thoroughly enjoy multi-genre papers. It took me a little while to actually took me a good while to choose a topic, but I finally decided on one when I was looking at a script I was working on for fun. I decided to make the topic one of the worst days I had had since I came here to BSU. Considering it wasn't that bad, and I was actually able to recover from it, it just seems like me complaining in my view. None-the-less, it was still one of my favorite pieces of writing in this class.

Piece 4: Communication 210 Persuasive Speech
"Mac Vs. PC: Let's Put an End to This, Shall We?" My last speech for my COMM 210 class. I feel that though it was quickly written in some parts, the speech turned out pretty well over all. I feel that not only does the speech have weak points, but it also has some very strong points that helped me get my point across. I feel that the weaknesses in the speech are weak themselves and are overpowered by the strengths. I feel that it was one of my best written speeches, but what do I know?
