smaandy Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I turned in my rough draft and I received notes as well as an angry teacher about using the first person in my paper. However, I looked through sample IAs and literally all of them use the first person as well, which leads me to believe that there is not a rule against it and that my teacher just has her own rules. Also does anyone have any tips on how to write my IA without using "I" or "my?" I can write perfectly fine in other subjects but this is sort of a challenge...

Rosalina Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 It's acceptable to use the first person in an IA.How can you even get full marks for Personal Engagement without using "I" or "My" in the background information? Nevertheless, this is a good resource about avoiding the personal pronoun. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
