Daryen Rubin Discussion 5

After not having been in school for a decade, I feel really proud of myself for Essay 1! Having not written an essay in such a long time, I was concerned that I may miss something detrimental or wouldn’t be able to follow the instructions. Because of this, I kept rereading my essay and wondering if it was good enough. Essay 1 helped me prove to myself that I am capable of doing well on assignments of a similar nature which well help me be more confident going forward. Something I could have done to get a higher grade was to read the class instructions more closely. For example, I lost points because my quotes were three sentences. I remembered reading that a class rule is that quotes can’t be longer than three lines. But that’s just the thing I wasn’t absorbing correctly! Three lines not three sentences. Specificity is key, and I will be sure to be more attuned to these particularities going forward!
