Although there are some improvements in my WA2 compared to WA1, there are still certain common errors.
Firstly, both essays lacked a title. Without a title, it would take readers some time before they might get a gist of what the essay is about.
Secondly, there are certain areas in my essay that needed to be checked for plagiarism. In my opinion, the topic that was chosen for this essay is a rather technical one. As I did not fully comprehend how a nuclear reactor operates, it was rather difficult to paraphrase the information obtained from my research. As such, there were areas in my essay that was largely similar to the sources that I used.
Thirdly, there was a segment of my essay that was contradicted my view on the issue. I had mentioned that the Generation IV reactor concepts were theoretically meltdown-proof but eventually I did compare the effects the different coolants would have in the case of a meltdown. Perhaps I should have emphasised that the chances of a meltdown are next to zero. Contradiction is quite a serious issue as it would mislead the reader, especially when the thesis statement is not clearly stated.
Lastly, there are also various parallelism errors in my essay. I should have been more careful when I was reading through my essay. This would then reduce the amount of language errors in my essay.
In conclusion, both assignments have helped me to spot the areas which I am weak in and they would allow me to prevent making such errors in future essays.
