Put the argument into a concrete shape, into an image, some hard phrase, round and solid as a ball, which they can see and handle and ca
y home with them,
and the cause is half won.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Overview: In this assessment, you will write a reflection essay that explores how you chose to incorporate feedback on your argument, your exploration of the
issue, and your source integration in the persuasive essay, as well as how your incorporation of resources supported your claim. Additionally, you will note any
challenges you faced in incorporating resources and developing your argument throughout the writing process.

Prompt: Previously, you identified an issue in your cu
ent major, a major you are interested in pursuing, or your field of work. You then established an argument
and supported that argument with research and relevant evidence. In this assignment, you will reflect on how you chose to incorporate feedback concerning
your argument, your exploration of the issue, and your integration of sources. Additionally, you will note any challenges you faced in incorporating resources and
developing your argument throughout the writing process.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

A. What peer-review feedback did you choose to incorporate concerning your argument and why?

D. What peer-review feedback did you choose to incorporate concerning your effective source integration and why?
