Course Review
As the the semester comes to close, I have been asked to reflect back on my experiences in my courses. For this class I think the most valuable part was a lot of the readings on writing technique like how to form an argument, how to respond to sources, how to introduce a thesis, etc. One strategy that has been specifically helpful has been the They Say/ I Say strategy. I now know that I can never just leave a quote or source without my own commentary, because that is what makes my argument and my paper my own and how I add my opinion. I plan on continuing to work on my repetitiveness and making my work more concise.

I agree with you that the readings about constructing arguments were really helpful. Sometimes it's easy to forget about things like addressing the counterargument that another party may make. I think the readings about constructing a template for a logical argument were really helpful because I often find myself having trouble with organization. Nice work!
