Discussion Prompt #3

1.) Before beginning a paper, I usually try to look over the assignment as much as I possibly can. That could be anywhere from 5-20 times. I always forget what I read, so I tend to do it much more than normal. During the assignment, I will look over it the material constantly to make sure that I am doing everything correctly. Whenever I am done with the draft, I will read it over and over to make sure I've accomplished everything that I needed to. A huge benefit from looking over the assignment when you're done is the satisfaction of knowing you've done what you needed to do. I do that many times so that I will hopefully make a good grade on the draft.
2.) When writing an Argument from Personal Experience paper, "consider the evidence" is a great concept to use. Personal experience is a major type of information you can put into that paper. You can make so many great arguments that way. Someone else's experience is not always the same as your own. And when you argue, it's because things differ. If it is personal, you cannot use another article as your own experience. That's not being true to what your paper is about. You have to write everything your own and your paper will come out very well.
3.) The most useful bit of information that I got from this is to identify the meaningful parts of the subject. It helps me a lot because I never used to do that until now. I always just read things fast and didn't really understand until I learned to find the important things. I think that they should definitely explain more about engaging in an open inquiry where the answer is not known at first. I get what it's saying, but I need more explanation so that I can understand it perfectly. I need to be able to understand things fully in order to write to the best of my ability.
4.) A similarity between the two is that they are both explaining what you need to accomplish in the paper you are writing. They give specific things that will need to be written in the paper. A difference in the two is that in the outline, we need to write more specific things pertaining to the audience, author, and in the text. The rubric is more specific and detailed than the three characteristics of academic writing.
