Quite honestly, the first part of the QE essay I wrote was very unclear because I had no idea what I was doing. I felt as though the assignment was thrown at us and I was unsure of what type of question would go with what type of response. Upon completion of the first section, I felt no relief because it seemed very confusing.
These questions that were given to us to write about are very confusing. They require much more thinking than I am used to. Once I started the next section however, I was able to get a better understanding of my question and write my explanation. I think it takes me some mapping out before I really dive into what I'm working with to understand what I am writing about. I was blabbing a bit in the first section, which I was able to revise after completing the other two sections.
I think it's harder for me to write in order sometimes because I can never figure out how to open the essay to the reader until I know what I will write about. Often times I will change my mind to take a different direction than what I had originally planned so I like to save my introduction for the end. I would have liked to do the entire essay at one point as opposed to having each section due one at a time. On the contrary though, I think this helped me a lot to stay focused and feel more on top of my work. When I am given long time spans to do my work, I become more stressed out because I have so much of it to do. This did help me in that aspect, but in terms of my writing, I think I work better having everything due together so I can avoid messing up the first part of it when I work on it too soon.
