For yesterday's homework, I have decided my essay topic and came to class today.
In class, Rab talked about the points you need to care about and the process of writing an essay.
The five points starting with A (Argumentative, Academic, Achievable, Access, and Attractive) were understandable, but the next thing Rab (and Meiland in the text) mentioned was the most difficult thing today. It was that you should be careful that no assumptions lie behind your writings. Considering all these points to decide the research question made it hard for our group to discuss about our ideas we've brought today. I'm sure I have to rethink about my research question again........
Besides these problems, I found out a new tip.
Everytime I read essays or reports, I wondered why the writer's research goes smooth along his thinkings. But Rab's advice that you can decide the thesis statement while or after researching, which means you don't need to stick to your answer you've set in the beginning and can change when needed, made it easier for me to start reconsidering on my research.
I'll try my best start working on my essay without complaining because it should be a lot easier than what the bicycler we saw on YouTube does.
