13. Essay critique

My essays has lots of disadvantages, so I think writing this post will be too difficult. First of all, I have real problems with sources and everything related to them. I didn't manage to find any reliable sources by 1st draft due. I didn't think it's a big problem; I thought that this is because I didn't have much time for the essay. However, I spent quite much time trying to find sources, while writing the 2d draft, and I didn't succeed. I face the same problem, when I write essays on Russia. But in English class it's even harder. The first reason is that I don'y have many English books at home. The second is that I'm not so good at googling  in English. While I know some reliable sites in Russian Internet, I don't have any idea, which English site is reliabe ot not. Well, it's no srprise I face such difficulties; it's quite normal. I think that this assignment is aimed to make me search for info better.

Because of the problem I've just mentioned, I have only 3 sources, andm what is the most important, none of hem is English. I refer to Russian sites only. While I was working on the 1st draft, I didn't know it's prohibited. When I had a chance to correct this error at the 2d draft,  I didn't manage to do anything with it :( The thing is that I didn;t have any time for 2d draft; because of calculus deadline, I strted working on the 2d draft after midnight of the due day. Therefore, I didn't manage to find any sources again.

Moreover, at least one of my Russian source is some report of a student and a profeesor from university of Dubna (a small town about 60 miles from Moscow). Choosing such unreliable source is also the consequence of shortage of time. Before doing this assignmet, I didn't even know that there's a university in Dubna. Well, at least I've found out something interesting :)

As a result of problems with sources, my works sited page is awful. Furthermore, I didn't understand all these MLA rules. Therefore, this page isn;t organized properly.

So, it's a pity I din't fix many problems before 2d draft due. I hope I'll have much time to do the 3d draft. Also, I think  I have to visit WCC. I haven't ever been there, by the way (don't I know whym but I've always been avoiding going there). So, now I have a good possibility to visit it! :)
