Everyday you learn something new. Today in Language Arts we got back our research papers. I've been a bit excited/anxious, even though I had pretty much forgot about that paper. I got a 12.5 out of 16. At first glance that seemed really bad, considering it was around a C, but I feel a bit better after understanding that this is a "rough rough" draft, and that I have done well compared to my peers, and out of those who I read, I though they were good. Some of the things that are noted in the edits/revisions on my paper I do not nessecarily agree with, but I don't know everything, and will probably find that what I think is wrong. I do think that the APA template didn't help, because even though I used it along with many people I know, our average grade was probably barley more than a 2 out of 4. I also think that we were led away from good formatting (based on the presentation) by BibMe. The BibMe formatting was much different from the APA formatting in the presentation. I am a bit excited to go over my paper with the teachers, but also a bit nervous because I already know we will disagree about a lot of things.
