Faryal Khan reflects on the writing assignments in her English 1102 course this semester. She initially procrastinated on the assignments but found that later assignments required more creative and critical thinking than just argumentative essays. The final research paper presented a new challenge as the goal was to mediate between two opinions on a topic and find a compromising solution rather than pick a side to argue.

4. Analyze and respond critically and creatively to the ideas and strategies in the writing of others through reading a variety of texts, including academic discourse Just as life greets us with new challenges, my life this semester has been checking Black Board every day just to be greeted by the eyesores of new delightful writing assignment prompts presented as part of my English 1102 course; which I take into thoughtful consideration on exactly how long I should procrastinate before completing the assignment the night before it is due. Over the period of this semester I was surprised to be met with assignment that were not just argumentative based essays, but were written in a way which forced me to apply amusingly creative and thought provoking critical sentences which could possibly hold the potential of cracking a smile on the face of my professor. The first assignments in all my classes this semester have been a breeze, regarding this class I had no trouble in completing the research papers, however the final research paper was very new challenge. To mediate means to form unbiased resolutions between two opinions on a topic, also to write the mediation final paper, were not supposed to pick a side to argue on : but to simply find a compromising solution between the two.
