I appreciated doing this research paper because  it allowed me to further  research a topic that I am interested in that I would not have had time to research outside of class. It helped me to enhance my ability to gather evidence to answer my question and support my claim that technology has a negative impact on sleep. One thing I think I did well in my paper was clearly stating my thesis. I feel that I introduced it nicely by giving it an insightful introduction, and I was able to connect my evidence back to my thesis, and explain important terms such as circadian rhythm and melatonin which helps to make the paper understandable. Also, on my final draft, after taking advice from my peer review, I think I did a good job at explaining my quotes, or just showing my understanding of it in general by providing an alternative meaning of what the quote is stating. In terms of improvement, one thing I struggled with was being a little repetitive, especially since data based on the topic basically covers the same facts; however, I did my best to explain quotes that may seem repetitive in ways so that it doesn’t sound repetitive. Additionally, with that being said, I think I struggled a bit with meeting the word count at first because of the fear of being repetitive, so I may have appeared to be wordy in many areas of my paper, and I should practice being more concise; however, after realizing in my draft that I need to explain quotes more, it helped with the word count. Overall, I think I wrapped up my paper well by summarizing the thesis and providing plenty of my own insight, with the attention that my audience can relate to it. Further, I took this assignment as an opportunity to develop my writing skills in presenting a claim, and find questions to my bewilderment.
