Critical Reflection

My biggest issue with this paper by far was not giving it the time that it needed.  I procrastinated heavily as well as screwed up and had the wrong due date.  I will however blame this largely on guard duty causing me to miss the first rough draft.  I did not realize how little time that I had to complete this assignment, and at this point I have still not decided if it would be better to take a late grade or turn it in while it still remains incomplete.  I wish I had done more for this piece earlier, or perhaps just utilized some time better instead of focusing so much on my programming class.  It is nowhere near the word requirement, and citations are incomplete.  I have also not fully reviewed the paper for mistakes, grammatically, and structurally.  The paper also could have benefited from more planning, but again the lack thereof is a result of the rush to complete the paper at all.  Heck, even now I am rushing to complete this and fill out the word requirements just because I know the padding will be needed.  I am unhappy with the state that my paper is currently in, and I know that I am capable of doing much better than I did.  In all honesty, I am disappointed in myself for what I produced.  If I could do it over again, I would definitely, and would spend much more time actually writing it.  This paper reflects poorly on my writing ability, and due to the lack of time spent on it I do not expect an amazing grade.  It is unfinished, half baked at best, and makes me look bad.  I will work on organization and time management for future papers and prevent a repeat of this mistake.
