How did I approach the assignment?
Writing my annotated bibliography was a love and hate relationship, while I loved reading all the interesting articles about my subject, writing about them was a whole different story. We were given three weeks to complete this assignment, I started looking for articles earlier because I knew that my topic was a rare disorder, and I would not find many academic papers about it. I worked extremely hard on this paper and I was happy with my grade.
Grade: 88/100
What did I struggle with and what helped me write my paper?
The genre analysis helped me to actually analyze the information in my journals, rather than summarize what was being discussed. Initially I had a hard time mentioning why it is important, because in my mind it made perfect sense about why it was important. I did not know how much to write or if I wrote to little. It was mostly not knowing if I had enough information for each annotation. Also, I found it hard to find articles that related to each other. It was the extensive amount of resources that I needed, which overwhelmed me.

I was not surprised by my feedback, the only thing I was not aware of was that my annotations needed to be in alphabetical order. I thought that I was clear in who I was addressing my paper to and what I will be discussing.
Revision
Annotations: I will rewrite some of my annotations that are "lacking" the appropriate material that is needed, and put them in alphabetical order.
Format: I will make my paper more adequate by removing any duplicating information and fixing spelling errors that I have made.
Introduction: I will frame my argument more appropriately by discussing who is talking/ researching conversion disorder and what I will be focusing on in my annotated bibliography.
