When reviewing my essay, I realized that I made several mistakes in my approach to analyzing the student’s work. Initially, I misinterpreted the focus of the assignment and didn’t fully follow the specific instructions provided. The task required analyzing an idea from the Rader article, but I mistakenly centered too much on the theme of beauty, which isn’t the main point of the article. As a result, I misjudged the student’s argument and the effectiveness of their supporting evidence. I also failed to do a thorough multi-comprehensible breakdown, which was required to fully understand the assignment’s core elements. Additionally, I overlooked the introduction’s requirements, particularly the need for a clear thesis statement, which weakened my analysis. In future writing assignments, I will ensure that I focus closely on the instructions, carefully read the prompt, and accurately interpret the sources before diving into my analysis. This experience taught me the importance of staying on topic and being precise in my approach.
