Question 1
Most times I read over an assignment two to three times before I begin to work on it. The reason is because I want to know that I fully understand what is being said or mentioned. During the assignment I skim over the information to refresh myself. I usually highlight or underline important details so they are noticeable when I am searching for the information. After my draft is done I read over the assignment twice more to make sure that I have followed the guidelines through out my paper and that my draft matches the concept of the assignment. The benefit of looking over assignments are for your own good. By looking over the assignment you can notice were a mistake has been made and correct it or find that there are no mistakes and notice your improvement.
Question 2
The information given in "Consider the Evidence" is a great source to consider when writing an argument from personal experience. There is nothing better than ones own personal experience to show them reality of the situation While it is true that we all go through very similar situations in life it does not necessarily mean we handle them the same. I is very important to notice the difference among ourselves because we are not all the same. I believe that it is always best to use a personal experience because you have evidence of it first hand.
Question 3
The most useful tidbit from "Academic Writing is an Analysis was the "Myths about Writing section. The reason that this was so helpful to me is because it put to rest a lot of false literacy rules I use to follow. It was very surprising to me that the main things live been taught to avoid im now being encouraged to do. The myths proven these things wrong have now allowed me to change my normal form of writing. The part that I feel needs more explanation is the "Knowledge of Research Skills" section. I would have been better if the author would have listed different research strategies .
Question 4
Both pieces of material are helpful with supplying me with the tools ans strategies I need in order to produce a successful paper. They differ in the requirements department. "The Characteristics of Academic writing lets me identify with certain issues but the rubric actually brakes down in detail what information must be obtained and it is also helpful in helping me make sure i have fulfilled all of the requirements.

I really like your technique of reading over your assignment multiple times before, during, and after you've completed your draft. It's the key to success when attempting to write a paper of higher caliber. Keep up the good work =P
