Task 3: Self Evaluation of a Case Brief
Question 1:
Yes
Question 2:
Italic citing text was not applied. Little minor error in case name: apart from that everything should be excellent. In the future, I should make sure to follow instructions carefully, including checking with my lecturer what need to be included.
Question 3:
The structure of my case brief written was poor because I haven’t included some headings. To justify this reason was that the case brief of Stevenson Jacques and Co v McLean; I didn’t read it altogether to realize it in detail to find out the day of the month when the trial was held. What I can understand during my reading of this case brief was that May 25. I read the case brief halfway rather than all information about the case that is why there were some errors. I noticed these things because the sample of case brief was the guide about how to write it and structure it. The confusion I had is not related with I didn’t understand the case brief rather I was not sure with the information presented. That is why my reasoning and arguing were not quite strong or complex body part properly. To improve this, I will pay close attention to details including check out with my lecturer as well as other students about the task.
Question 4:
In terms of language and spelling, I would rank myself good as I did not notice any error of spelling. Even thought my writing of my case brief was not up to the standard level of roughly what the task was asking, yet I was on the right path. Certainly, I will not object about some of the errors I have made. I think in some part I have misused or misinterpreted. E.g. “If parties are not comparable to that appointment, then court hearing costs will increase and therefore unsuccessfu...

...time, I will stick with these approaches: find out what the task is asking, identify key words, investigate when, how, where and why, research, write up draft 1, draft 2, first hardcopy, final hard copy, proof it and ready to be submitted. I will make certain that my time management is well formed. I should find out about my feedback about how I went so I can self-evaluate myself. I will focus myself in this course to raise myself in legal words using the legal dictionary.
Question 7:
Indicative:
Structure: 3/5
Spelling and grammar: 4/5
Content and accuracy: 2/5

Mary Kate Lambert “No title was given”. Mary Kate’s paper was unfinished, however, she did provide a good topic sentence for the introduction paragraph. In the second paragraph she needs a much stronger topic sentence. Also, there were grammar errors such as incomplete sentences, capitalization errors, word usage errors, and to be verbs. Overall, I think that she is off to a good start and that her final paper would be better if she includes these suggestions.
The biggest problem I had was not using enough commas which lead me to have run on sentences and sentence fragments. I also had grammar errors like typing “acholic” instead of “alcoholic”. The remainder of my errors can have been solved if I had just re read the paragraph out loud saying things like “was born is Columbus” instead of “in”.

Overall, I have improved my writing from the first day of class. My paragraphs have became more formidable. It was more completed and organized compared to the first draft. Also, I have contained several conclusive messages from the dependable sources. However, there were still some spelling mistakes and confusing parts in final draft of the introduction. I believed I could minimize the grammar errors and have a better explanation instead of jumping around if I did not procrastinate till the last minute of
This assessment score surprised me for I feel that I am very tolerant and adapt well to change, but maybe, as I get older, I resistance change because I have found principles and ideas that work well to achieve success and see change as only undermining what is already working (McShane & Von Glinow, 2016, p. 429). McShane & Von Glinow (2016, p. 428) says that “constructive communication” can overcome resistance. This statement is directed at management, but I plan on using this same advice to overcome my own resistance to change from management. Changes are occurring in my department and some role realignment is going to take place, as this occurs, I agree with McShane & Von Glinow (2016, p. 434) that this change will cause me additional stress, of course, now that I know this I can actions to prevent it. An article written by John MacArthur’s says that the Apostle Paul when faced with pressure still reserved “room in his heart to feel the anxiety of other” (MacArthur, 2012), so when thinking of change, instead of just seeing it as something that is stressing me out, I need to realize that others are probably going thought the same emotions and symptomize with them other, for MacArthur also says that, “Anyone who knows and loves Jesus Christ is capable of handling pressure like that” (MacArthur, 2012). I also need to remember that God is in control and no matter what changes occur God will see me through it (Matthew 6:26). By managing change better, will make me a
Unit 1 taught me to focus on each step in the writing process. Approaching the task
Summarize and discuss the core issue in the case. Do not repeat the entire case details but only pertinent information at the heart of the case.
After analyzing the discourse community of law and the detailed process lawyers take in order to write an effective appeals brief, one can see that lawyers have a very specific and unique way of communicating that includes certain jargon unfamiliar and possibly incomprehensible to the general public. Although writing an appeal brief is only one aspect of many that government prosecuting attorneys such as Kenny Elser face in their jobs on a daily basis, it is also a very necessary job because not only is it used by a single discourse community in the law profession but utilized by the discourse community of law as a whole.
Your content here is good but entirely too much of it is filled with quotes. For a good academically sound paper you should be able to paraphrase most of your content and should use quotes very sparingly.
I believe it is important for any student who wants to do their best in a class to take a moment to evaluate their own work to determine the rate their writing is progressing and how they can continue to advance their writing. When I looked through my own work I asked myself “what have I learned this semester?” and “what do I still need to learn in order to improve my writing?”. Answering both these questions will help me with my last step of my self-evaluation, developing a plan to learn new skills.
How to use your time will be decided by the adult learner. No adult will have the exact amount of time as the following adult. For example each can use a calendar based off of your syllabus using due dates so you can better your time management. Create mini deadlines were you can give yourself time to proof read and make any changes you see fit according to Yager (2012) Time Management for Online Learners.
