D#5, HW#3, Peer Review Reflection

Alex Williams - WP#1 RD

Justin Winter - WP#1 RD

I learned from the peer editing that many issues i am aware of in my own work are common to others and without peer editing a lot of errors that the author has no idea exist. I did realize that in my own draft i forgot to double space and also that a weak point in my writing is that i often jumble word tenses.

My Reviewers for my WP#1 were:

Justin Winter

Paulette Estrada

and one unknown

Most comments were simple mistakes that i generally am aware i often slip up. Only one slightly out of usual is where i was asked if big words were used more than necessary. Throughout my education so far in13th year i have been pressured to enhance my vocabulary and increase the complexity of my sentences. With teachers throwing in all sorts of large vocabulary list to learn and then regurgitate the following weeks through quizzes. While i do believe that when due, simple English is profoundly perfect for the task. However, when creating a personalized group of words structured with a theme and sentence flow, you should try the hardest to grasp new words and enhance the language. On my originality report on turnitin.com i received a 0% match, reducing any need to alter my WP#1 excluding revisions.
