Dear Prof. Young,
When
you hand essays back to me, I try and get the basic corrections (grammar,
sentence structure) done the day I get it back, usually when I get back to my
room. I don’t make the actual content and idea changes until usually the night before
the essay is due. I leave it until now because I work Monday nights and
Thursday nights which ended up coincidentally working out that I could do my
work for this class at work.
I think
my third essay will be my most improved. I feel that writing about modern
topics like this is easier to get into then writing about a book that I don’t
understand. There’s nothing specific, it is usually the topic that defines
whether I can write well and get into it or not.
I focus
on grammar only for a little bit but then I spend more of the time on content
because this is where most of the changes usually need to be changed.
My
knowledge has not gotten much better when it comes to editing grammatically but
it has mainly on how to integrate quotes effectively. By using RENNS and SEER, I
have better learned to understand how and why it is important to thoroughly
explain quotes to make the relevant in an essay.
When I
get feedback, my first thought is not to create a whole new writing style or
approach it differently. I like to use the tools I am given to make my writing
better, but I am too hesitant to use something I’m not familiar with on an
essay.
Question
6 does not apply. I just do my work.
When I
revise, your comments are what help me the most. I’m not good at editing my own
writing because I think what I write the first time is good, that’s why I wrote
it.
Sincerely,
Sarah
