I think for me I would say that I make one to two drafts before creating my final piece but I always end up doing it at the last minute which is not very smart or responsible of me especially for right now in college and I don’t really proofread my work unless its really necessary to do so. I think there needs to be improvement in doing it last minute because I know soon those five page essays are gonna be coming in and those are gonna take time and I know myself I would not pull an all nighter to complete a paper. Overall I need to work on doing everything with time and not jam everything at the end.

Class Meetings & Times: Mondays & Wednesdays, 2-3:40 PM, in Namm 519
Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
