The Summit




I think it’s safe to say that the Mod. 2 report has been hyped up for a while. We’ve been working towards this point for months, with every assignment and with every lab. Somehow the time’s blown by and now it’s over.

The process of writing the mod 2 report was different than I imagined. Despite all of the practice and feedback we’ve had I felt very uncertain about a lot of this assignment. What tense to make certain sections, where to put certain explanation, what areas should summarize, what areas should expand. I found answers to some of these, but for others I found myself at a loss. I went through countless revisions, rewording, rephrasing, finding new sources, finding better sources to improve the flow and composition of my document. Each time I think it got a little better, but I was never really sure when it was ‘done’. I am happy with my final product but I have so many lingering questions.

While that’s a somewhat unsatisfying way to conclude such an important assignment, I also think that this was a really valuable learning experience. I know so much better what I do and don’t understand about writing this type of assignment, and what questions I should ask differently next time. I really look forward to seeing the feedback of the teaching faculty to see what hit the mark and what didn’t, and to help me further improve my writing.

No matter what though, I am proud of having completed this assignment, and happy with the paper that I submitted. More than that though, I feel like I have passed an important milestone during my time as a Course 20, and I’m looking forward to the start of Mod. 3
