8-2 Project Two: Feedback and Revision Reflection
Over the last several weeks I have had the chance to enhance my writing skills. The feedback I have received has been a tremendous help as I have learned how to critically analyze a piece of writing. I tried my best to use the feedback given as starting points or building blocks to better my writing process as I revised my critical analysis project. I will use what I have learned in this course as a foundation to do well in my upcoming and future courses.
Large and small-scale approaches to revision worked well for me during this course. I could go back and make sure my main ideas were aligned and that my paragraphs flowed together and were easy to understand. Being able to go back and expand on my ideas benefited my writing as I was able to give more information and be more specific with the evidence provided in the article that I chose for this course. I was also able to go back and fix grammatical
errors that I had overlooked previously and structure my sentences, so they were easier to follow and understand. During my larger revisions, I was able to provide specific details of evidence to support my analysis of the article I chose. I also expanded on potential trade-offs and challenges to the author's argument. After I read over my paper, I also let my wife proofread it, luckily, I had
no major grammatical or spelling errors.
The revision strategies I think will benefit me the most in my next course Are expanding on my ideas, giving specific details that support my main point, and making sure I have no grammatical or citation errors. By expanding my ideas and giving specific details in my ideas I can strengthen my main point with evidence. Also, by proofreading and fixing grammar and citation errors, I can make sure that I am not losing points on my assignment that can be easily fixed.
