The document is a reflection by Rachel Feidelman on an argument of inquiry paper assignment. Rachel discusses what she learned about her writing process, including making an outline of points and drafting from that. She found academic sources on cyberbullying difficult to find despite it being a popular topic. Rachel struggled with remaining objective without inserting personal views and finding diverse perspectives. She received feedback that her academic voice and thesis statement were clear but seeks more draft reviews in the future to improve taking a side while acknowledging alternatives.

Reflection- Argument of Inquiry Paper
Overall, this assignment taught me a lot about myself and my writing style. I
learned that I write best by forming a bulleted list of points I want to cover, and then
transforming that into a first rough draft. Additionally, I found that the library
website is extremely helpful as well as the librarians at Mckeldin. Even though
cyberbullying is a very popular topic of writing, finding appropriate academic
sources was extremely difficult. This essay is very different than most writing I have
done in the past because it requires you to reveal the importance of the issue
without being subjective to a certain side. I found it difficult to refrain from showing
my personal opinion on the subject, and I also struggled with finding a variety of
perspectives on the issue since cyberbullying is generally frowned upon. I thought I
used good sentence structure variety, solid transitions and my introductory
paragraph was strong. I enjoy the draft workshop but I think it could be more
beneficial if there were less specific questions on the worksheet, and instead more
general ones, because that gives the editor a little leeway in their comments if they
do not exactly reflect an answer to one of the given questions. Based on the
comments from my academic summary, I worked especially hard on using a strictly
academic voice and providing a clear thesis statement. I would like for you to focus
on my exigence and if I kept your attention throughout the whole piece. For the next
writing assignment, I hope to get more sets of eyes editing my rough drafts before I

decide what changes to implement and how to write my final draft. I also want to
work on taking a side without being ignorant to the alternative perspectives on the
issue.
