Major assignment one was a research paper that required me to go out and ask to find information, and not put my opinion into my paper. For major assignment 2 we did an argumentative paper that you did not really have to go out and interview people but you could if you wanted it to and with an argumentative paper you can put your opinion into a paper. One of my hardest struggles for writing is not opinionating my papers, it is the easy thing to do when in reality my opinion is not credible unless I am writing about how to unsuccessfully leave your opinion out of a paper.
With assignment one my main weakness was organization, although with assignment to it was a major focus of mine because I knew how poorly I did on the last one. In assignment two I already had in mind that i needed to make a better outline for my paper before it was required of us in class.
As a way to stay credible I tried my hardest to have all my sources from websites that where sponsored by the government or just a reliable source in general.
As topics go I choose a fairly easy topic to come up with information on, but one I was interested in. I focused on Originally the dangers and bans of Tobacco products but with further research I found out it was illegal for our government to out law the sell of tobacco. With this in mind now I changed the topic of my paper from out lawing to how Tobacco use will soon be a fad of the past, and whether the tobacco industry dropping off the face of the earth will be okay for the United States fragile economic system.
Overall I feel as if I did better with assignment 2 rather than assignment one, but not on my own doing if It was not pointed out to me how I had made these mistakes in my writing before I would have written the same way.
