most difficult: after finding a topic, I would say keeping a formal voice as well as the introduction and conclusion
most useful: the research groups and their feedback
least useful: databases didnt have as much on art/art history as I would have found useful
what I'd do differently: work more on voice and put more notecards on noodletools--I find it hard to keep it formal
There's nothing different that you (Dr.D) need to do differently when next year's freshmen do this project but maybe a sheet of which databases are most helpful for what and maybe have a database with a lot on visual/performing art.
The feedback from my peers was mostly voice/formality issues and some connection problems-- connecting words/paragraphs woth thesis-- and was descriptive enough that I could go right in and fix it. All of it was helpful:)
strongest trait of good writing: organization and/or conventions
weakest trait of good writing: voice
Nothing else:):)

Well your voice seemed to be quite an issue! But, I am sure your paper was great, like most of your work. You didn't seem to have too much trouble with your paper, but I'm sure there was some difficulty. I'm sorry about your databases/sources. Maybe next time you'll find better ones! Good work!
