After having completed my initial draft last week for my paper this week was spent editing it. Currently my paper is missing its literature review however my plan is to write that after I actually have finished editing the main body of my paper. By doing that I will be able to have an accurate gauge of how many words I will have to write my literature review without compromising my main body arguments. I often shave off whole sentences on my second draft as with all my ideas now written down I can see how more efficiently to convey the ideas they present. The thing I looked at to the most in my rewrite was my citations, I paid careful attention to make sure I’d gotten the right structure for my citations.
Above is one of my books that I hade to make sure to properly cite. Luckily JSTOR provides citations for it’s books automatically
In class we mostly discussed the structure of the paper again. This time though we focused on all the things surrounding the paper such as the titles, chaptering and writing abstracts. For me structure is always the most difficult part of an assignment as I’m constantly worried about having missed a component. It might be I’ve missed numbering a page or my font size is off and that ends up stressing me out more than writing the actual paper.
