  1. The review sheet really helped me out, I felt well prepared for it so it wasn't as challenging as I thought it would be. Next time I am going to try and get more outside information.

  2. I didn't really think it was too bad. This first DBQ was on a topic that we had talked about extensively in class, so we all had thorough knowledge n the topic. The review sheet and information that you told us to gather helped as well.

  3. I did much better on the DBQ than I thought I would because I knew what to prepare for. Creating an outline really helped with time constraints because I was able to write quickly once I planned everything out.

  4. The DBQ wasn't as hard as I had originally thought it would be. I learned a lot of outside information from the review sheet. Also the documents helped me even though I was afraid I wouldn't understand them.

  5. I felt fairly confident about the DBQ, I could have had more outside information that could have helped me, but it was overall a good DBQ to start out with and let us see what we need to improve on or do differently.

  6. I actually felt good about it because I already had an understanding of it because of the review sheet. And for next time I'll try to do even better with my outside information.

  9. The DBQ was definately not as bad as I thought it would be. I was very happy with the info in my essay. By far though, the biggest help was the review sheet.

  13. The DBQ was tough but i thought i did alright on it. I need to make sure I name the documents in the next one i write though. The topic is not one of my favorite time periods but it went well enough.

  14. The DBQ was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The tips were a big help to me. I think what also made this a decent experience is the topic was not that bad.

  15. The DBQ was not nearly as difficult as I expected it to be and it really helped to plan everything out before hand. The review sheet given to us was very helpful and definitely prepared me well for the assignment. In the next DBQ assignment, I think I could use more information that I already know and tie it in better with the documents.

  17. The DBQ was not as difficult as I expected it to be. Thanks to all of the review and practice that we had received for the DBQ. In the next DBQ, I am going to try and incorporate more outside information into my writing as well as tying in information within the documents.
