For my first Critical Response paper, I did well using sophisticated vocabulary and connecting ideas, as well as elaborating on them. I need to work on not making my sentences too long; I’ve noticed this problem in many of my papers. Making the sentences too lengthy often confuses the meaning of the sentence. I can go for help at the English Building, or reference the assigned notebook for this class. I have educated myself about this problem by learning to use semicolons more often and separating longer sentences into two complete ideas. To get a better grade next time, I plan to acknowledge the mistakes I made on my first Critical Response paper and improve on my errors in the next Critical Response paper.
