The reason is that I haven't really thought about my argument essay as much as I should have at this point. I did this after the fact, but I wasn't able to really explain what my goals were for the next essay we were to write. However, it helped me learn a lot during the course. The most useful thing has to be the annotated notes from our research files, which I had taught friends to do for their CO150 course because they didn't know where to start for theirs. I have also seen students in our class use it for their research papers for other classes. I will use this format again probably next semester. This provided insight into how each source was found, what words were used to find it, and how the sources related to the main question we were trying to answer. It also allowed us to extract any evidence we could use for an argument instead of going back and having to guess where a piece of evidence could possibly be found. The quality of my work could have been better, I admit. I knew from some of the assignments I did throughout the year that I could have tried harder. The example is deliberately forgetting chat messages so I wouldn't have to worry about them when I had other things to worry about. I also felt on some of the other major essays that the quality of my work was not as good as what I could have written, so my grades reflect that. I could have spent more time editing
