Weekly Reflection 2

This week we had to write the compare and contrast essay and the topic was really hard for me because I don’t really know much about pop culture. I’m glad that we were provided sources because one of my weaknesses for writing is doing research. I talked about the similarities between college students and popular reality television characters. The group project is interesting; our topic is bullying which I’m happy about because I think it’s an important topic and I’ve always wanted to write about it. I’m also somewhat anxious because this is the first group project I’ve done in college, but at the same time I’m not too worried because my group gets along quite nicely. We were able to come up with a game plan for next week and I think we’re going to have a good time working on this project together. One thing that I learned this week was how easy it is to unintentionally plagiarize someone else’s work, and it makes me even more nervous now that I’m in college and the stakes are higher if I accidentally do it.
