Assignment 5

Review on assignments 3 & 4.

When I chose my own assignment, I first looked in the book Academic Writing. I saw one exercise that I thought was good and picked out a few things and made it my own. I think it became a good exercise, two people picked my assignment. Those two (Andreas and Emma) did a good job and it turned out as I planned it.

The assignment was to write a problem solving text based upon an authentic problem or a “made up” problem. I think it is good to work on that type of writing and it can also quite fun!

The assignment that I picked then, I am going to be honest about that one. I was running out of time and the ones that I would like to pick were already taken, so the one that I had to do was not my first or second choice. I picked one about describing a normal day in my life, I couldn´t do it as “academic” and formal as I wanted, it was quite hard and it didn´t turn out as good as I wanted.

Considering that, I learned more about formulating my own instead of having to pick one “just because”, but that was also my own fault. I should have picked the one I wanted immediately.

But overall, I was a great exercise to formulate your own assignment were you had to consider a lot of things!
