One of our final sessions with James included researching into our essays further. As we were half way, or near the end of our essays, the seminar proved quite essential to see where my peers were in terms of their work, and to receive any motivation, feedback or responses I'd needed from James and my peers.
The discussion for the work was quite a small one, I'd have preferred some more feedback but didn't bring my own essay to be assessed, this could have proved quite helpful as from my first hand-in there were a lot of errors in my work. I could have done with James going through the work with me, my main flaw in my work is that I don't make a lot of sense; I'm unable to create sentences that sound correct and flow naturally, as this is something I also struggle with whilst speaking out loud. However, hearing how other people had progressed with their essays really calmed me down, a lot of my peers were behind me in terms of where they were at, which relaxed me and proved to help me to finish my essay at the correct time.
Although the seminar was short it gave me enough confidence to continue with my essay - if I had brought a sample of my essay for evaluation, this would have proved much more better for myself, as I'd have made changes to errors and my feedback for my first submission would have been a lot more positive.
