I want you to think about what it is you are doing and how you could possibly do it better. In part, this means writing and doing your research well before the day the project is due so you can let your ideas simmer in your mind. This is one way to learn from your mistakes and avoid repeating them while learning to recognize your strengths. I would also like you to consider how your behavior as a class participant and team member affects others in the class. Respect and courtesy are key. Self-reflection is essential to writing and research.

Failure to keep up with your individual and team responsibilities slows others down.

It is paradoxical yet true to say that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our intellectual limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution in the continuous opening of new and greater prospects.
