NEED “A” WORK REPLY
In this unit, we have focused on revising and editing; understanding expectations; gaining perspective on your writing; ways to outline your paper; the importance of keeping the reader in mind; and how you can best read, process, and respond to feedback. Part of the revision process is sharing with others about what you have experienced. You never know what might help others in their process. Further, sometimes it can help you to better understand and reflect upon your process when you have the opportunity to write it down.
For this unit’s discussion, consider the process you have gone through as you revised your paper so far—the introduction and literature review. What have you found to be most helpful for you? What would you share with others about your process? What techniques, tips, and methods have you used to help the process go more smoothly for you? You can also describe methods that were not as helpful to you and what you would like to do in the future that you think might be better.
PLEASE REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS)
CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE
When revising my paper, I utilized the grading rubric. I read everything in column 5 to myself aloud and then read my paper aloud to myself. I didn’t have to change much with my introduction and literature review because it meets the requirements. For my introduction and literature review I briefly introduced my topic to my audience and provided examples of some serious cases of head trauma in football. What helped me write a strong introduction and literature is the example in Unit IV. The example text in Unit IV also helped me to write my review of literature, it helped because it gave me an idea on how to make my paper flow correctly. I did have to rearrange my paper, so it is more organized because I jumped from the con to the pro side and back to the con. I fixed that by rearranging my paper to flow evenly. I had difficult taking out “you” or “your”, so I ended up deleting each sentence that had “you” or “you’re” in it and created a new sentence. I had a problem with citations in the paper, but I fixed that by going through and doing more research on my topic. For my topic I used a lot of news articles to help me discuss the pro and con side of my topic. I also forgot to put my references in alphabetic order, but I fixed that as I revised my paper.
