Blog #8: Cover Letter Pre-Write

After looking over the essays I have written this semester, I feel that there are a couple different things I was able to change about my writing.  Firstly, I feel I was able to incorporate my quotes more efficiently.  For example, in essay #4 I said, "Also, in today's society many people believe, 'that an emerging 'knowledge economy' is demanding skills that can be acquired only with a post-secondary education,' (Davies)."  One of the things I would change would be to incorporate meta-commentary into some of my earlier essays in order to strengthen my arguments.  For example, in essay # 3 I say, "The fact that so many students are entering college nowadays has triggered them to become more competitive in their studies."  I now realize that I could have elaborated more on this idea to make it clearer and more prominent within my paper.
