Synthesis Unit Reflection

The synthesis assignment was something that I have done before. I don’t really know my outcome on it. I don’t know if I did good, bad, or alright. I am hoping the very best though. In Writing 101 last semester, we also had an synthesis assignment that we had to do. I did struggle a lot with this assignment. I used one of the sources from Rereading America and a documentary from Netflix called “Miss Representation.” I think I mainly struggled with connecting the two sources and also the word count. My synthesis paper last semester in Writing 101 word count was only 1000 words instead 1200 like this assignment this semester. I discovered about myself as a writing during this assignment that I should make more time and effort because I already struggle writing papers. I also discovered that I should try to get all the help I can and use all the resources so I can continue to improve in my writing and become a better writer. I think my strengths in this paper was my topic sentences and explain the sources. I struggled with finding the right sources as well because I wasn’t sure if it fit my thesis and what I wanted my entire paper to be on. I think that was hard for me because it is kind of hard to find the absolute right sources. I think my sources were good though and something I could use to support my thesis and topic sentences of each paragraph. Even though I don’t think I did good on this assignment, I learned a lot from it.

  1. I have done a assignment like this before. I didn’t do so well on it because of I didn’t make enough time and commitment on it. I think I could’ve done better because I have done a synthesis paper before.
