Self Evaluation Blog #3

The grammatical errors in my essay were purely syntax and word choice issues. Although, my thesis was weak and did not really provide a good argument. What I learned in the process of writing from draft 1 to the final draft is that I need to pay more attention when I reread my essays and print them out, since I didn't do that I didn't catch how blah my thesis was and I just wrote it and basically turned it in. I did have some pretty good sources, though, and I think the point of my essay overall was solid. I did not really learn anything about grammar per se. What I took from lecture is the connection between all of the logical fallacies and how multiple fallacies can be used in one instance. I find researching to be quite difficult, but this is the essay that I researched the most and it showed me how much academic research betters an essay, especially when it pertains to current events and it is worth it to take the time to find reputable sources.
