I'd say that I feel pretty confident in my research paper, I feel most confident about the research in my paper. I focused most on that part because in the end it is a research paper, so it would make sense to focus on that part. But I'm not completely in love with my citations within the paper, or my conclusion.
The hardest part for me was trying to bring together the information to tell the audience my overall idea. Then some less hard things were keeping up with all the citation information, and also transitioning from stories to connecting things with the thesis. I suppose the easiest part was preparing and analyzing my information because I had done that before with the Literary Analysis so it wasn't a foreign object for me. The best feedback I could get would be based on my transitions, and my introduction and conclusion.
Draft
1/30- 2 hours- I watched the two videos and then worked for an hour on the body of my research paper. Then I read in the Norton and worked on the draft for the next 30 minutes until I had been working for two hours total.
2/1- 1 hour- Just worked on the body of my paragraph, trying to focus on the information instead of floating quotations or citations or the connection of the information back to the thesis.
2/2- 1 hour, 55 minutes- I finished just preparing, quote/paraphrasing, and analyzing and I started citing, editing, and connecting back to the thesis. Then I did my intro and conclusion, and put in the works cited.
Total-4 hours, 55 minutes
I agree with you about the citations in the paper. They were very confusing about how to make them fit in and flow together.
