On Monday I had a Writer’s Conference with my English Professor, Nadim Essey. In the meeting, my professor and I discussed two things, how I am doing in his class and what am I writing about for My Research Paper that is due.
Professor Essey said that work wise I am doing well in the class. I have submitted all of my assignments, and have been receiving above average grades on most of them. He said the only area I need to improve on is participating more during class.
Then we went on to talk about my Research Paper that is due in the upcoming weeks. My professor assigned my class a Research Paper on a novel we read called The Day of the Locust by Nathaniel West. He wanted me to come into the meeting with a topic to talk about. I decided that I am going to write about how past experiences effected the main character’s life in the future. He approved of my topic and then went on to offer ideas on how to approach it. He said I would need to find some psychological evidence to support my claim. In addition, he gave me certain in keywords that I could search up in databases to find some more details for my paper. We also went on to talk about certain scenes in the novel in which I could add to my paper.
After we finished talking about my paper, he handed me a paper that helps me keep up with my grade this semester. It showed how much each assignment is worth and all I have to do is put in what I got on each assignment and do the math. As the meeting concluded I learned I have been doing better than I expected in English class and some advice about my Research Paper.
