In terms of the research paper I have already begun to sort out the research I found this week, and hopefully will begin work on the actual draft soon. If further detours from that process are in the offing - it would be nice to know now!

(Short) Reflection
The discussion tonight on form and arrangement was helpful in terms of sorting through the readings, and I appreciated hearing other people's thoughts on it. The most helpful part of the discussion tonight was the work with formation of research questions. That's actually where I am with my own research paper. The topic I want to write about is immense, so I need to ask myself the right questions to write an effective paper. Generally, as any of my writing processes continue and I get to the draft stage, I often end up re-writing the thesis statement based on where the paper has taken me.

What kinds of detours would cause you trouble? ;)
ReplyDeleteI think the shape of class will seem pretty straightforward to you for the next weeks, Peg -- at least in terms of writing process.
We will not ask anything of you that will change your general direction. The assignments for next week should indicate the direction we'll be taking with style, and "delivery" will have us addressing issues of formality, grammar, and mechanics generally. Then a draft is due.
Is there anything in there that looks as though it will constitute a detour to you?
