Reflection (Tim Van Gelder's article report)

When I found out about our homework assignment that was writing about Tim Van Gelder's article both objectively and subjectively, I wasn't unnerved in anyway. I grew up reading articles and books that many people wouldn't care to read because it was too complicated. And another reason I didn't worry about the article (which were full of words and hardly [if none] any pictures) was that I usually distribute my work among different days. In other words, I would write one paragraph one day and another paragraph another day and in 2-3 days, I'd be done!

Analyzing the article wasn't hard at all. Even though it was very long, the vocabulary used was fairly simple and I had no trouble understanding the article at all. So it was very easy for me write down the objective portion of the paper which were just a few paragraphs. However, writing the subjective portion was tougher than I thought and I found myself reading the article five to six times because even though the words were simple, the entire layout of the article was very disturbing, especially since it was in black and white. So, I began reading different sections of the article hoping to find any kind of flaw or anything really that was 'surprising' or 'confusing' etc. After about three days (I procrastinate), I found a couple things and expanded that into my post. I finished my article on the day it was originally due and was ready to send it at 11:58pm, literally a minute before it was due. However, the due date was changed to four days later so I felt relaxed and after turning some words around and making sure everything was good, I submitted it in.
