Essay #2 reflection

Since the time of the previous essay up to now, I have improved greatly. I'm not sure if it is because I handled my time wisely, or because I gained better writing skills. It is probably a combination of both. I kept on track with the schedule Craig planned out for us, and it really helped with my time management problem. I liked the way Craig gave us the schedule of due dates throughout the essay time period before hand. That really helped me keep myself going in the right direction with the time we had to accomplish the goals of the essay. This time, with essay #2, I felt like I had a hard time getting started with the outline. This was true because the research was difficult. I wasnt finding any good information online on the databases, so to solve my problem I went to the library. The books I gathered were filled with information about my colony specifically. The books and the primary documents were great sources for my essay. I found that because I wrote my rough draft early on, I had alot of time to edit and revise. This worked well in creating an essay that I was proud of.
