Initial Post Instructions
Part 1: Research & Review
Read and review our required reading and lesson on revision, editing, and proofing, as well as your returned tutoring service reviewed paper.
Part 2: Application
Prior to beginning work on this reflection, refer back to the feedback you have been given by your instructor and peers over the past weeks plus any additional experiences you have with the writing process covered in the course. Reflection is an important part of the writing process. Examine how the writing process has been going for you with your essay up to this point.
Then, explain the results of your tutoring service paper review with your peers.
- Detail the 3 most significant issues found in your review, placing them in the order of importance (the basis for a revision plan of action). As you write, be specific in which areas you are referring to, such as the introduction, claim, counterargument, etc., and how it relates to your experience with the writing process.
- Research ways to correct the problem, in our textbook and lesson, library writing references, or external sources. Provide an example of at least one corrected based on these resources.
Cite your sources in APA format.
Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least two peers or one peer and the instructor. Compare your peers’ results to your own, and share resources for improvement. Did your reviewer find similar issues? Which revision and editing approaches work best for you? How likely are you to use this review service option again?
Note: If you see that someone has already received feedback from two peers, please choose to help a peer who has yet to obtain feedback.
Writing Requirements
- Minimum of 3 posts (1 initial & 2 follow-up)
