The most successful assignment for me was essay #2. Although I found this essay to be somewhat challenging I still managed to understand the assignment because it was easy to explain how some websites don’t provide accurate information and if you don’t actually read the article your essay will now make no sense. Furthermore, using Chat GPT can lead you in the wrong direction when it comes to writing an essay about a short story because most of the times the AI is telling you to use these big words that wont make your essay better but it can make you seem like you’re talking “gibberish” because the essay doesn’t explain/cite anything correctly from the short story. Nevertheless, even though I am still not 100% good at it but this class taught me how to cite a text correctly in my essays. As well as knowing how to correctly flow when I’m attempting to cite so it doesn’t sound boring, eg: “The short story mentions …” However, I feel like I could’ve done better on essay #4, I didn’t take my time with that essay and I didn’t even realize that the paper was under the expected pages. Consequently, for the next paper I will intentionally utilize the outline to do my essay correctly and I will take my time instead of rushing to get something done on it’s due date. I genuinely enjoyed the transparency from Professor Conway the entire semester because it gave me the opportunity to challenge myself and get better with writing.

One thought on “Discussion Board Week #15 by Tondalia Simmons”
Tondi, you are probably the only person who will say that you learned the most from Essay 2. I am so glad to hear that someone got something from that assignment, which was quite challenging and maybe a little boring. But reading your post makes me think it was not such a bad assignment after all, especially if students can get to see for themselves what Chat GTP essays sound like—how generic and full of “gibberish,” as you say, they really are. You never want to sound like that! You want to sound like yourself with your own unique ideas and way of expressing yourself that do not sound like anyone else.
