APA Reflection

I think the difficulties of making the Introduction is stating your topic and reasons of making the essay, without answering the topic directly. I didn't make a perfect introduction, because my introduction only describing a brief information about the topics. I didn't state the reason why I make this paper.

As for the conclusion, I think the difficulties of making the conclusion is not  to summaries all of the my information that I've already type, and you have to make a short conclusion that overall summaries all of my paper. I didn't make a perfect conclusion, because I only make a short conclusion.

organization part is a bit challenging for me, because the essay doesn't come out the way I wanted. I thought that, in each paragraph are supposed to link with the other paragraph. My structure was basically from external factor first, which is the geographical location and slowly going to the internal factor, about ancient Rome and ancient Greece cultures.

The most difficult part in making the APA is to find the right source from scholarly article. Not all scholar article provide explanation and answer toward my topic. It takes a lot of time to find the right source. In term of the formatting Im still adapting to the APA format, since my school approach essay differently and also different formating.

I believe my essay content provide many evidence that support my topic. Since my topic is about the difference between ancient Rome and ancient Greece culture, than it is more likely for me to have evidence. However I also believe that my evidence are not that strong, which may cause confusion or does not looked convincing.

In term of my mechanics, I have a lot of problem in giving puctuation and putting certain vocab in the right place. Other problem that I have is putting the tenses. Since my topic is about ancient time, I forgot to put past tenses.

Overall I could say that this essay is quite stressing for me. This is my first time  making APA, but I'm gonna try my best to be more prepared in the future APA.

    1. My highschool does not approach academic essay in detail, the only requirement they have is introduction, body paragraph, conclusion, and reference. Where the reference list is just copy paste the URL. For the next paper I would focus on my APA citation more. The topic is quite challenging, due to there aren't much scholarly article that are related to my topic.
