Now in the midst of the semester things are starting to flow much better. An essay is due tomorrow, we had to write about a situation where you were new to something. I wrote about my first day attending to community college (COD). All the different issues that I had from finding a parking spot to finding my classes. I have seen the tutor in the lab, he said that I had some issues with my thesis statment. He said the intro paragraph is supposed to be like an outline to the rest of your paper. Each sentance in your intro paragraph is supposed to correspond to each paragraph subject. Taking his advice into consideration I have revised my paper to fix that and fix some other issues that I had. In my first essay that I got a C+ on, I didnt know about the MLA format and it was too short. As with this essay I have fixed those mistakes by reading the "Hackers rules for Writing" handbook. I looked up MLA format to get the essay right. As for the length I fixed that problem on my own. In my opion and also according to my peer reviews, my essay is in pretty good shape. The only problem that I have left is the last name at the top right hand corner of the paper that is supposed to be there. You are supposed to have your last name next to the number on every page, but my computer doesnt give me the option to do so. Hopefully Mr. Murphy wont mark me down at all or too much.
