At the beginning of the semester I was not necessarily sure about how we would be revising in this course. Over the semester we learned a plethora of ways to revise our own papers and our classmates papers. My first draft was not very strong, after revisiting my essay and listening to comments from peer-workshops … [Read more…]
My progress towards active reading, critical reading, and creating informal reading responses has grown substantially throughout the semester. I have learned that to be an active reader, I need to have a highlighter and pen handy so I can mark up the text. To be a critical reader, I need to think thoroughly and ask … [Read more…]
Marking up my peers first draft of our first paper was very nerve-racking to me. I felt like if I did not give them good comments, they would fail and it would be my fault or I would give them a bad comment and they would think that I was not smart. Peer reviewing has … [Read more…]

One example where I have applied peer review to work in another course at UNE is in my medicine and the media class. I specifically used the Barclay’s quote system that we use in class. To do this I wrote “intro to quote”, “quote”, and “explanation of quote”. If they don’t have an intro or … [Read more…]
One specific example of using some aspect of the drafting process that we’ve learned in so far that I used in another class was used in my Medicine and the Media class. Medicine and the Media is my explor class, it requires a lot of reading. We read about 160 pages a week of the … [Read more…]
