Reflective Blog Entry By Adeline Setyo

I feel extremely happy to finally finish this assessment. I think this assessment is very unpredictable. At first, I thought that I would be able to do this assessment in two days or so. To my surprise, it needs about 9 hours to get all of the things done. Now I realize that I should stop postponing my works.

A very important thing that I learned from doing this assessment is how to stay focused on one task and try my best to stay away from any distractions. By placing my cell phones far away from me and keeping them on silent mode, it’s proven that I can concentrate pretty well on my assessment. I also learned that essays that you think is good enough may not be okay for others, especially teachers. I’ve turned in 3 drafts for my compare and contrast complete essay, but none of them had shown any good signals for good grades. It is very frustrating, of course.

Consistency is needed for this assessment. If you’re not consistent with your topic and love to procrastinate, then you may face a lot of difficulties in making all of the assignments. The good news is I’ve been very consistent today. I have tried my best to keep on researching for OHPs and LCD projectors, although their data are hard to find. Although my assessment is not the best and may not be perfect, I’ve put my best effort to complete all of the tasks. I personally think that I have succeeded completing my third assessment.

I think I have improved in certain areas; topic sentences, word choices, and types of academic writing. I am now able to insert a topic sentence that connected to the paragraph. I’ve improved in choosing different words so that the essays do not sound tedious. I finally know that there are different types of academic writing, and most importantly, in know how to make such writings.

Overall, though there are many difficulties in making this assessment, I am very satisfied to have all of my tasks done. Thanks to Miss Laura and Ma’am Karla for checking my drafts and explaining the things that I don’t understand for the assessment. Hopefully both of you would enjoy reading my essays! :)
