3rd EE Reflection

My research method for my topic was quite effective, as I resulted with lots of research from numerous different sources. My research was organized under the author it came from, which was organized into which argument it would support. This allowed me to begin planning my essay even during the research stage. I believe this strategy was appropriate for my essay, as I was able to easily analyze different perspectives on the Tet Offensive. If I was to undertake my research again, I would consider gathering research from more Vietnamese primary sources. Most of my sources was from American authors. If my research contained more Vietnamese sources, I would be able to increase my ability to analyze their perspective on the Tet offensive. This could’ve led to a more balanced essay. That being said, I still believe that I provided a nuanced argument with ample consideration for all major perspectives, even if most of my sources came from American authors. There were further areas I wished to write about in my essay that came up in my research, such as the symbolism found in the Tet Offensive, which the essay’s world limit hindered my ability to further evaluate.
