The only two comments given that suggested improvements were about citations. “MLA citation guidelines: no need to put the name of the author in the parenthetical citation if you have already mentioned the author’s name in the sentence”. If I were to fix this, I would not use the parenthetical after the quote when I’ve already used her name in the sentence. When saying ‘cutting toxic people out of your life’, the comment suggested “I wonder if this should be cited… sort of using Tiffany’s language”, so I would cite this idea.

I really thought that the topic was interesting. Social media is something I am familiar with and am interested in so it was easy to become immersed in the content of the sources. Both sources were also easy to read and understand; they weren’t incredibly dense. I enjoyed deciding my stance on the prompt and coming up with a thesis for it, and overall just enjoyed the topic itself.

One writing skill I think I improved on was TRIACS. Before coming to this class I really didn’t have a structure for my paragraphs; I wrote out what I thought on the topic and that was it for my body graphs. Learning the structure of TRIACS and seeing how much clearer it made my thoughts appear in writing was very beneficial to me, and I think after lots of practice I have gotten the hang of writing them.
