The reason for this is that at this point I haven't thought about my argument essay as much as I should have. I did it after the fact, but I couldn't really communicate what my goals were for the next essay we had to write. However, this helped me learn a lot during the course. The most useful thing has to be the jotted notes from our research logs, which I had taught friends to do for their CO150 course since they didn't know where to start for theirs. I have also seen students in our class use it for their research papers for other classes. I will probably use the format again next semester. This helped keep track of how each source was found, what words were used to find it, and how the sources related to the main question we were trying to address. This also helped extract any evidence we could use for an argument instead of going back and having to guess where evidence might be. The quality of my work could have been better, I admit. During some of the tasks I did throughout the year, I knew I could have put in more effort. Examples include purposely forgetting discussion posts so I wouldn't have to worry about them when I had other things to worry about. Also, during some of the other major essays, I felt like the quality of my work wasn't as good as I could have written, which is why my grades reflect that. I could have spent more time editing
