research paper grade

on effort, i would give myself 100% the reason being I spent hours researching and typing notes on my computer that i would use in my paper. without saving the document, i closed my computer, like usual, and decided research some more the next day. I had 8 pages full of notes. When i went to work on it the next morning i realized my computer had updated which meant wiping away all windows i had opened on my desktop, including my notes. Although i take full responsibility of it, it still set me back a few days and it took me awhile to get that motivation back. As you can see with the longevity of my paper, i spent a lot of time researching, writing, and editing my paper to give it a flow. Since i knew nothing about this topic before hand, all the information i wrote about was knew and it took awhile to organize the thoughts and information i had.
However, i still don't feel like the flow was steady. I lost focus a lot while trying to reread and edit my paper and i' m not sure if it was because of how long it was or because of the vast facts and opinions i took from all my sources. Consequently i feel like my grade was brought down from that.
I also noticed I forgot to edit one of my block quotes that weren't long enough after i had already sent you my final draft. Regardless I think i matched most the requirements and i will be expecting a pretty good grade out of my argumentative research paper.
