    Com 155 Week 8

    Now that I have checked for plagiarism and my paper has passed with flying colors, I no longer need to worry about that. The WritePoint has told me all of the errors in my essay. The errors are very few and they are only grammar errors and run-ons. I think that before making these corrections, I should make sure that my paper all makes sense and I like it written the way it is written and if not then change it, then re-do the WritePoint to check for errors. If I like it the way it is written, then make the corrections that WritePoint has suggested. Reread my paper and make sure that I am happy with it. Let others read my paper and take in suggestions and opinions and change my essay…

    Ashford ENG 121 wk5 Discussion 1 option 2

    First, I need to focus on a single topic. My first essay draft was too broad scoped, it had many main topics and lacked details for each. Second, I need to pay attention to writing instructions. In my second essay I got so wrapped up in a single topic and details that I completely missed the point of the essay. That we were to write a “personal essay” and forgot to add all the personal details/experiences. Third, I think would be word usage, grammar and proper sentence structure. There is always room for improvement in these areas I have yet to get a paper back without comment on one of the three.…
