Project 2 Review

I am most proud of the immense amount of research I had to do with my academic essay on cryptocurrency. Trying to create a sound grasp on the topic was far more difficult than I anticipated, but after reading through dozens of pages from my sources I felt I had a sound enough grasp on the material to write my academic essay. If given more time, I would probably add more source to my essay, as I felt I could use one or two more sources to really solidify my point. In addition, probably add a tad more analysis to my quotes, as that was an issue brought up before and though I felt as I fixed it, better safe than sorry. For the steps taken, I felt that the outline benefitted me the most by helping me create a far clearer picture of how my essay should be written. Cryptocurrency can be highly complex and confusing, so the outline really helped me clarify what I wanted to say in my essay, making it far easier to write. In terms of writing, I felt I learned a bit more about how to properly cite my sources. While how I cited wasn't necessarily wrong in my first draft, I was shown how to improve it to make my essay flow better and follow MLA format. If I could, I would remove the literature review from this assignment. I had a lot of issues trying to write mine and felt it was ultimately somewhat pointless, as much of what is said in the literature review is echoed in the essay.
