Jennifer:
To be honest, I haven't really done anything with my paper this week. I
have been busy trying to finish the other paper I had to do. I have
looked at the peer review and have taken notes on what I want to add to
my paper, but that is about it.
Goals:
1. Finish the draft
2. Get bibliography sorted
Matthew:
After going through and seeing how much of a mess my rough draft is organization wise, I am focusing on two things this week.
Goals:
1) Finish my rough draft for Tuesday.
2) Re-organize my thoughts for my paper.
Taylor:
This week I have looked over my peer review. I have made a lot of changes and have started the first two pages.
-Finish the rough draft at full length
Al:
After reorganizing my notes and listening to feed back from class I can now focus on more important facts of my research.
-Finish rough draft

Goals and progress check-in, November 11
Allison:
It feels like now that we have the peer-review process started, paper writing should be a bit smoother from here on out... Or is that just me?
Goals:
1. Finish peer review by noon tomorrow
2. Write 700 words
3. Reorganize my paper based on the peer review (I know my organization needs revamped already)
Matthew:
This week I have been looking at the peer review and making note of what I could do to improve my own paper. I felt like I need to explain more efficiently and get to the point and explain where it is proper. My rough draft is a mess now, but I have some ideas on better organizing my thoughts.
Goals:
1. Create an outline of my rough draft and put my arguments in place that actually make sense.
2. Finish Peer review for Wednesday.
3. Write approximately 500 words or more that could be added to next rough draft.
Jennifer:
I agree with Allison. I think with the peer-reviews it makes the process a bit smoother. In seeing the flaws of my fellow classmate, I have been able to see my own flawed paper.
Goals:
1. After getting the review back sit down with it and see where I want to go with my paper
2. Continue to integrate the secondary sources
3. Get my citations and bibliography sorted
Taylor:
I feel like doing the peer reviewed has allowed me to see others mistakes and the mistakes that I know that I have made and have made me see what I need to do for a good paper.
Goals:
1. Get a solid introduction
2. Make sure that my paragraphs are not all jumbled together
3. Look over paper after it has been reviewed and see where I need to go from there
4. I know that I need to make more "connections" in my paper
5. Make a awesome conclusion
Madison:
This week I have examined all of my work so far. I have also revised my first draft. I have also been looking at my sources again and organizing my thoughts.
Goals:
1. Write next draft
2. examine bibliography again
3. organize thoughts more clearly
Al:
1. Continue with rough draft
2. Look over Bibliography
3. develop solid conclusion

Madison
This week I have examined my research and made adjustments to my question and arguments. I have narrowed down what I will be discussing in my paper as well. I have also found more secondary sources.
Goals:
1. finish rough draft
2. finish bibliography
3. polish research
Alex
goals:
- finish rough draft (right now)
- begin refining for first draft
- not much else--this weekend is insane.
Matthew
I have started writing my rough draft and have started inserting some of my sources to strengthen my arguments.
Goals:
- iron out my rough draft (it is kind of clunky still)
- start elaborating on the main points in the paper
Jennifer
I was able to find what I think will be all of my secondary sources. I have also written a quite rough first draft.
Goals:
~I want to get my thoughts together more so that my paper will come together more
~I want to make sure I don't let myself get distracted from the paper
Elizabeth
I have started writing, I am working on the exact direction I want to go with my evidence. I have found most of the sources I will be using, the rest will come as I discover I need more evidence.
- continue writing
-work on my weak introduction
-look at better ways to transition from paragraph to paragraph
Al
I have all the primary and secondary sources for this paper.
Goals
-Work on rough draft
-Create Bibliography
-Clear Introduction
-Provide evidence of thesis
