My writing style is based off of procrastination. I usually don't start my outline and/or paper until the last possible moment. Most assignments it's the night before or two days before the paper is due. Although this method has worked for me in the past, i'm sure i'll need to adopt new habits to survive college.
The hardest part for me to write in a paper is the introduction and conclusion. I can never write the perfect attention getter until i'm ready to print my final copy. The rest of the introduction is pretty simple: just follow the guidelines and i'm all set. The conclusion is where I always leave an hour for work time. My conclusions always seem to be too short, just a couple sentences long. I have no problem connecting the intoduction to the conclusion, but my work in capping the paper seems to always be below par.
I would really like to improve on my conclusions and introductions, which is one reason why I am taking AP Comp. Improving on the said two would be the one extremely important thing I would like to take away from the class.

Melissa, procrastination is a very bad thing! I think that you really should work on scheduling yourself and distributing your time (who knows, maybe i'll help you out :)!). My conclusions and introductions are also the hardest for me to write. It seems like there is not enough to say. Nice blog post! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely develop a new strategy for writing papers or else you will fail in college! :) Other than that, I think we all seem to have pretty much the same issues with our papers in the intros and conclusions. This was a very touching post.
