Memorandum Reflection

The memorandum I recently submitted turned out to be a very doable project. At first, it seemed like it was going to be extremely overwhelming, but I soon realized that when taken step by step, it wasn't too bad at all. It really helped to have the inquiry group for assistance. I cannot imagine having to read all of those articles on my own, so knowing that the members in my group were extracting the key elements out of each article really helped.
I began by trying to find the main points in each article I read, then read the annotations from my group members to find their main ideas as well. From there, everything went really smoothly. My information fell right into place, and with a little proofreading I was basically set. What I found to be very helpful as well, was the day in class where we had to read our papers aloud and let our group members discuss. The group's feedback wasn't the most important thing I got out of it, however hearing my paper read out loud was very beneficial. I made a lot of changes in my paper just due to that simple task and I have made a decision to read all of my papers out loud from here on out. Overall, I think this memorandum went very well, and not only that, but I learned a great deal also.
