I recognized my first process was incorrect since I misunderstood the assignment’s main goal.I mistakenly centered on examining the original source (Márquez’s story) rather than evaluating the student’s reaction to the secondary source.By focusing too closely on the original text, I missed the main goal of the assignment, which was to evaluate the secondary source.Furthermore, I misinterpreted the arguement of the Rader article, believing it was about the profound power of beauty when it was truly about identity. This experience displayed the importance of completely grasping the material before completing an assignment.Furthermore, I will pay more attention to the specific directions provided in my assignments to ensure a better grade.Ultimately, this experience has taught me the significance of reading closely.It really made it easier for me to fully understand the expectations of this class and the value of formation .

Jahniya, I should make a poster of this response. You have articulated clearly where so many students—not just you by a long shot—went astray with this essay.
I completely understand your experience. I’ve also found myself focusing too much on the original text rather than analyzing how the student was responding to the article and making sure the student was following the outline correctly . It’s easy to misinterpret the main goal, especially when you’re also trying to make sure your own essay is following the direction. This process really highlights how crucial it is to fully grasp the material and follow directions closely. I’m planning on paying more attention to assignment guidelines moving forward to ensure I stay on track and improve my work.
