Critical Thinking and Writing

At this time I feel like I do a pretty good job of summarizing and getting to the main point. Whenever I have to deal with large pieces of texts, I am usually able to summarize it using a very short amount of words. I have always felt like that was one of my strengths. One problem that I do have with critical thinking is comparing two pieces of texts and using evidence. For some reason I just do not like comparing written work and have a hard time doing that. The same goes for using evidence when writing.

When it comes to writing, one of the biggest problems I have is writing long papers. Unfortunately one of my strengths, being able to summarize my thoughts, also happens to be one of my weaknesses. No matter what the topic may be, I always struggle writing a paper that is 4-5 pages long and what results of it is usually of poor quality.
