Personal reflection5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() I will also make sure the sources are useful for that particular subject. Fourthly, I will collect sources required for the assignment in advance. Thirdly, I will write essays that will capture the marker or examiner’s attention. Secondly, I will expand my search for sources, I will use internet, libraries and educational places like museums and art galleries. Before I write an essay, I will first choose a topic or question that I think I would easily research on. In the future, I plan to write essays in a systematic way and not mixed up information. The hand book provides a very useful and simple form of writing excellent essays. Never leave spaces in between one paragraph to another. Have a continuous and correct form of connecting sentences.Īllow the lecturer to look at the essay before final submission. Have one systematic way of writing my essays. ![]() Remember the difference between bibliographies and footnotes. No plagiarising, but always put the work in my own words and understanding.Īlways use the correct format when writing footnotes. Use quotes and reference them correctly giving credit to the person who quoted it.Īlways use the right methodology of writing. Write a bibliography for that particular essay.Īpproach the question from every angle using different resources and books by different authoritative writers.Īlways have conclusion in my essay unless if it’s a book report.Įxplain the meaning of a new word in the essay. I will first choose a particular essay that I want to work on. I will write the correct information in every assignment I will remember to use the same format throughout my work ![]() I plan to make use of every opportunity in my busy schedule to write down some points about the topic I am dealing with in the essay. I have to learn to allow my mind to get used to a working plan that is consistent. I have also put of things that were wasting my time when I should have been doing my assignments. The idea of handing in an assignment per week fits well in my timetable. I set a timetable of how am going to involve my studies and other schedules. I have set a deadline for every one of my assignments apart from the one given by the Lecturer. I have decided to write good essays this term and to go through the research and study skills book over and over again to help me understand the correct principles of writing a good and excellent essay. I have laid down a plan to work on one assignment per week and this time I will use more sources and learn how to use citations. I have put down a chart and on that chart I have written down every subject I am doing this term and the assignments in those subjects. ![]() My sources are often limited because I do not expand my research and I never try to think of ways to search for them. I sometimes, concentrate more on one subject and neglect the other ones. I get frustrated, with a subject that I do not seem to understand or follow. I find it hard to put quotes in my work unless if I am helped by someone who knows how to put quotes in their essays. I often want the lecturer to give me an example before I can attempt to do it myself. I easily forget what comes first in a bibliography or footnote. I also mix up the meanings of certain words. I sometimes struggle to understand what the question is all about in an essay. I am never satisfied until I learn something new from that subject I am researching on. My special interest is to research on different subject matters, especially matters to do with church history, world history and cultural history. My written work is often organised and I also try to make it interesting and different. I find it exciting to write book reports and reviews and also reading academic books apart from the Bible. I cherish discovering new ideas for myself. When choosing essays, I love to pick tough questions rather than simple ones. I refuse to be called a failure because I always want to try again and again and I love to see others excel in their work. I am quick at discovering new concepts and I don’t easily give up because I try to do my best to present the best form of work. Most people overlook the subject on research study skills simply because they do not see the benefit of it. I commend the research study skills book to be a very useful resource that can help any aspiring student to use it if they want to get the best results in essay writing. There are a lot of information I have come to know since I started this course, and this has helped me learn to how to write better essays, construct sentences properly, and the use of appropriate information for a particular assignment. I find myself remembering more when am writing than when I am speaking. I prefer to write down an answer than speak it out. Meanings of new and challenging words are very fascinating to me and I love to listen more than speaking. I also like to study and discuss academic theories with others. ![]()
