Extended Essay Reflection

Writing an Extended Essay was not at all easy for me. When I first got my topic "Stem Cells" I thought I would be able to write my essay effortlessly, because this was the topic in which one could find a lot of information and evidences. But, as I went along with my research, I faced a lot of difficulties in finding information  I actually wanted. However, after doing some more research I had a good plan that I could implement on my essay. On the other hand, I think I wasted a lot of my time by just doing the research and not concentrating on writing my essay and that took away a lot of my time.

Managing and organizing everything on time is the major thing which I learned and understood. Even though I think I had a good plan about how to write my essay, but still there were problems which I came across while writing the actual essay, especially building arguments that needed to be supported with evidences. Secondly, there was another thing which I really need to work on i.e how to give citations in MLA format. 

When I have to write my essay next time, I would definitely keep in mind to organise and manage my work according to deadlines and  I would also not take a lot of time to just research the given topic, rather I will try to focus on managing my essay and spending time on research equitably and judiciously.
