Part 4: Learning Outcome 4:
- I think my ability to critique others work during the writing process has improved immensely. I have been giving feedback to others in much more detail which helps them understand where the reader is coming from and give them a different perspective on their paper. Also, I started to label and organize my comments more so the writer knows exactly where they need more improvement. I also think that the ending comments that I have used in this class to comment are extremely helpful and gives an overview of the paper and what was a good and bad. For example, one of my comments on a peer’s paper was “E: I think adding in quote here from the TED talk that explained this but also related to your story would make a great connection”. The E gave away that I was labeling the comment as evidence. Then my explanation gave the crucial parts of the paragraph and then something that would further it from a reader’s perspective. This gives organization and proper feedback to the writer. This has a great difference than how my old comments used to look. I used to only comment on punctuation of MLA styled problems and nothing based on the evidence or claim, but that developed throughout the year and now I believe my comments are much better.
