List your own worst grammar issues

I think my biggest problem is just with typo's. Sometimes I type the word IS when I really mean to type the word IT. Things of this nature are my most common reason for points being deducted. They are hard errors to catch when proofreading because they are such small, filler words, and since they aren't spelled incorrectly, Microsoft Word doesn't pick up on them. Just one of those things I guess.

Tissue Paper Bike - Did you learn anything from it? If so, what?

I wouldn't say that I necessarily "learned" from this assignment, only because, in retrospect, it was not entirely clear. I could partially credit it to helping me understand citations and how to cite sources at the end of sentences within my paper, but other than that, I did not see a significant purpose or outcome in reference to this assignment.

      This article basically asks the question of what makes the study of cognitive and behavioral psychology legitimate, when people from other professions can assess human behavior from their own perspective. It relates the study of these behaviors to psycho-therapeutic practice. It then gives a brief history on this field. I think this article will be relatively beneficial to my research on this topic.

My Progress So Far With My Paper

     I am currently still in the research stages of my research paper. I think my lack of motivation is the most difficult thing to deal with. Also, going to the library is always an inconvenience. Other than that, there really are no problems.
