Summary & Analysis Reflection

The current paper on the Summary and Analysis helped me learn quite a lot about how I used to write argumentative essays. When I first began writing arguments, I would write strictly based on a specific format. This format included an introductions, arguments, a counterargument, and a conclusion. However, with this paper, there is no specific template. Instead, it includes summarizing, discussing whether you agree with the author, and analyzing the author's thoughts. This essay is different from traditional argumentative essays. With the current essay, I am able to think deeper and analyze the writing by bits whereas before, I would choose a few quotes from the entire reading and just focus on those. The summary and analysis paper encourages me to think outside the box and be more specific. I feel that it really has improved my writing skills for argumentative essays.

Google Docs Opinion

I feel that using Google Docs throughout was very helpful. I liked the idea of not having to worry about printing out my papers each time we would revise in class. I was able to store every draft inside a folder rather than having piles and piles of papers. Having all my papers on Google Docs helped me stay organized and save time looking for different documents. It was also beneficial because I did not have to worry about saving the drafts because they would automatically be saved each time you make a change. Therefore, unlike Microsoft Word, I did not have to worry about clicking save every minute to make sure the paper saves in case connection is lost or my computer restarts. Furthermore, I feel like it made it easier to share documents with others to peer review. Overall, I enjoyed using Google Docs and would like to continue using it for future classes, too.
