Self-Review, Not to Bad

In my opinion, the self-review assignment went pretty well.  I printed off the self-review questions and had them close by, as a rubric for writing my rough draft.  I hope I didn't defeat the purpose of the assignment, but I figured if I had questions, why not use them as I write?  I'm not saying that I did everything right, but it helped having the expectations on hand.  I still need to fix many things in my essay; vocabulary, run-on sentences, grammatical errors, etc., but for the most part, I wasn't too worried about the self-review questions.
I recently had to do a UI-100 class with the new librarian at Kent Library, so I was pretty fresh with the resources on the library website.  I found some very helpful papers on writing a good thesis statement, and writing an all-around good essay.  Also, I found a website that helps with standard MLA formatting and style guides. 
When it comes to writing an essay, I tend to make it harder than what it has to be.  Some of the self-review questions were challenging to me, there's things that I did do right, and there's things that I didn't do right.  Having the self-review questions are really going to help me write the final draft of my essay.  Of course, I won't know how well I do, until it's graded, but I feel like the self-review questions were there to help.
