Reflection on Essay Writing Process

For your reflection post you could take the time to think about the following:

How did you find writing the essay based solely on your notes and essay plan? Were your notes complete? Did you have enough information recorded to complete the essay? Did your system of linking the information to the sources work when it came to citing evidence?

How did you use your time? Did you make good choices when choosing where and with whom you would sit? How did you anticipate the deadline for this assignment? Did you start on the assignment in time to get it finished?

What did you find when you ran your assignment through Turnitin? What did the originality report say? What do you think it means?
