Reflection on essay #2

1) How did I progress from my first essay to my second?
Overall I think since this second essay was in such a different style then the first that I can't really evaluate whether I progressed or not. I think that the way I wrote the thesis however did improve somewhat. And also I think I was able to finally find 3 reliable sources that did help my essay out a lot in the long run. Overall I think that I was able to improve my creative process though this assignment. I feel like I deserve at least a Pass. Instead of that NP/LP I seem to get in every other assignment I do for Craig. I would say I deserve this grade because I feel like I did fulfill what was asked of me for this assignment. And also feel like I was able to pull out most of the more controversial topics when it came to this topic.

2) How did my writing process mesh with my partner?
I feel like over all me and Isis made a pretty good group. She was very easy to work with and overall I enjoyed having her as my partner. I did find that both of us however were procrastinators. This didn't really help at all but in the end we were able to finally get our stuff done. Isis helped a lot when it came to researching and was able to get her part of the conversation done when it needed to be. I would give Isis a pass for this assignment as well cause we both did equal work when it came to this assignment.

3) What made our group collaboration work?
I think that is was just Isis's personality that made our group successful. Her personality and mine work together so well that both of us were able to do our work without ever really having any disagreements. Isis also is more creative then I am so a lot of the creativity in the end project came more from her, where the more factual things from me. Overall I feel like working with Isis has made me improve more when it comes to being more creative. Hopefully this will show up more in my later work. As a whole I believe that our project should get a passing grade because I feel like we were able to do all that was asked of us for this project. We also picked a topic that I believe was more creative and original then others. And hopefully also included information that people will find both relevant and interesting.

I didn't really think I had made that much of an impact! cool! You made a huge impact on me as well. I tried to be more like you in a factual way on the 3rd and last essay. I thought we made a great team as well! It was so much easier for us to do that essay. I didn't realize our procrastination came out until I read your reflection. :] But, we still did a pretty good job!
