2nd Essay in Review

Again, on your blog, I would like for you to reflect on the second essay you've written. In theory, the Example Essay is "supposed" to be easy. It's one that you'll undoubtedly use later in the semester and next semester in English/Composition. It's one you've used in the past and will likely use in the future in social science classes and in whatever in-depth study you make in your chosen discipline. HOWEVER, several people have said it was the "hardest essay" they had ever had to write. In a new post on your blog, discuss your own experience in writing this essay. Was it difficult? What was hardest? What was easiest in writing it? What advice would you give the next 1101 student who could be taking your seat?

Now that you've got your blog and have been posting--what do you think of your efforts? Are you surprised at your own ability? Specifically, comment on the remarks you have or have not received. Vent, if you like. I know some of you have not had positive experiences with comments or being able to comment. Please feel free to use this portion of the post to discuss the problems and difficulties AND, if possible, MAKE SUGGESTIONS on improvement. If, on the other hand, you found the practice of posting, receiving comments helpful, explain why you think it's worked for you.
