Self reflection: Essay 4 Proposal

 Self Reflection: Essay 4 Proposal

1.       What were your biggest challenges in researching and writing your Proposal?

With researching and writing my proposal I had difficulty deciding which material to use, and where to insert the material I did decide to use.  I was also challenged with the organizational pattern, and how to tie the introduction story throughout my paper.  I had to go back and rearrange a major amount of my paper, and several times before I decided it worked in the order it is in now.  The conclusion also gave me a problem.  I wasn’t sure the best way to end my proposal.  I am still not sure if I concluded it the best possible way.   

2.      What do you feel is the best element of your final proposal?

                        I feel the best element of my final proposal is my own voice throughout the paper.  I gave an abundant amount of my own opinions, and feel the solutions I proposed would really work towards ending homelessness.

3.      What do you feel is the weakest element of your final proposal?

            The weakest element in my final proposal to me is the research that I included throughout.  I could have included more research, and should not have relied so much on the one resource.  Although I used eight resources, I did rely heavily on the Murphy and Tobin.

4.      What could you have done differently to improve your overall performance with both the Literature Review and the Proposal?

            In both my Literature Review and Proposal, I could have elaborated more in some sections, and worked on being more concise.  In the last section of my proposal, I have great ideas, but wasn’t sure where else to go with it.  I could have taken more time to elaborate in the section about the homeless shelters.
