D#11, HW#5 - Deadline Reflection

  1. Revising takes a tremendous amount of work through thought, memory and referencing. The main thing I tried to accomplish was revising without losing the meaning of my paper. I’m not sure if I did this.
  2. Organizing was not as difficult with this deadline as the deadline outline was pretty self-explanatory. The only thing I’d recommend in the future is to not put so many instructions in one paragraph. I had to copy the paragraphs then separate each sentence to ensure I was following the instructions correctly. This was time consuming, but I’m glad I did it.
  3. I incorporated the techniques I learned from the previous deadline to assist with my revising.
  4. I did not do any further research for outside sources on this deadline.
  5. I need to further work on integrating sources properly when I summarize, paraphrase or quote sources to develop and support my ideas.
  6. The feedback I received on this peer review was very helpful. Especially regarding my thesis statement.
  7. I think I’m writing well. I have little else to indicate otherwise.
  8. My blog is still killing me…but I am persevering. I haven't really needed to use other technologies for this deadline other than a word processor and I use the spelling/grammar check feature prior to each save. I use my gmail account everyday and I love the extra tools that come with it, like the homepage I customized with beach items.
