I recently went to writing services to go over my draft, and
found it very helpful. This gave me the idea to write about the importance of
reviewing your draft and getting feedback.
I think feedback is like constructive criticism. When you
review your own paper, you are less likely to find mistakes in your writing,
possibly because you have a bias towards your own work. Having someone else
look at your paper could help your find these mistakes that you overlooked.
Feedback helped when we did our PowerPoint presentations. Before
we gave our presentation, we did a peer review. Before the peer review, my PowerPoint
was a mess. I found that the feedback I received was very helpful as I was able
to understand what I needed to improve in my PowerPoint, and what was effective
in my PowerPoint. After our Presentation we were asked questions about our
proposal. These questions could help us understand what points need to be made clearer
in our research paper.
When asking for feedback, the most common question I ask is “is
this point clear” or something similar to that. I think that this is an
important question because when you are evaluating your own work, almost
everything makes sense to you, because you are the one wrote it, and
understands it. When you ask someone who has just seen the project you have
been working on, you will get an unbiased view on the clarity of your work.
Feedback is important to improve writing in any stage of writing. Any type of constructive feedback is useful to my papers. When I know that I am going to receive feedback, I try harder to improve my grammar and structure.
ReplyDeleteFeedback is only beneficial if the person getting the feedback applies it. A lot of the time people don't want to admit they're wrong or have room to improve, especially after doing something they're proud of. A lot of the times when I write a paper I have my dad read it and give me feedback. I like to think what I have already done is better than what he has to say but usually the feedback he gives me would most definitely help improve my paper. Like Keenan said, feedback is important to improve you're overall writing. Having fresh eyes look at something can be very beneficial because they can spot errors you may not have noticed. In reading this blog post, I realize how important it is for me to apply the feedback I have received.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both comments and the post. Feedback is extremely important to improving a project or paper so long as it is taken. In high school one of my teachers would have us bring in our rough drafts and then pass them to our left. Depending on the size of the draft, it could be passed to two or more people. Having so many fresh eyes look at it really benefits the writer if they can get over the fact that they can improve the work. The biggest thing to feedback is definitely applying it.
ReplyDeleteFeedback is very important and helps me improve on my quality of work and also how I get things done. When I go to Writing Service and get critiqued on my work, I usually leave with a refreshed sense of where I want my paper to go and where it's going. Feedback from other people is helpful because it gives you another point of view to your work. Although I hate being critiqued because I don't like to be told that I'm doing something wrong, it helps me realize how I can improve.
