Class 10: library session, Project #2 peer feedback

Please remember that we will not meet in our classroom on 10/8, but instead just outside the library, which is on the 4th floor of the Atrium building. If you are late, you will have some trouble finding us. The majority of our session will be held in A540, a classroom on the 5th floor that is only accessible by first entering the library on the 4th floor. Walk straight ahead, up the stairs, make a right at the top of the stairs, and then your next right. I trust that everyone will make his or her best effort to be on time, unless we already spoke about different arrangements.

Our library session will use as its subject the topic of photography, as we discussed in class on Monday. Come prepared with search terms you are interested in using to shape your research on photography. You will learn how to make those search terms work for you in a variety of research venues (the Internet, the college’s book holdings, all of CUNY’s book holdings, and the college’s database subscriptions). We will merge our efforts together into a collaborative annotated bibliography. For more information about what an annotated bibliography is, read about it on the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) site.

You should continue working on Project #2. To help you revise your drafts (which you should have already posted on your ePortfolio with the category ENG1101 Project #2 and the tag draft), please offer your classmates useful, encouraging feedback:

  • DUE end-of-day Thursday:
  • Read the drafts that two of your classmates posted on their ePortfolios.
  • Reply with a well-developed comment to each of them that answers the following three questions about each paragraph:
    • What do you understand?
    • What do you not understand, or need clarified?
    • With our interest in simplicity and economy in mind, what if anything is extraneous?
    • What if anything is missing?
  • Due end-of-day Friday:
  • Read the comments on your draft and write a post on your ePortfolio a checklist of revisions you plan to make based on your peers’ feedback. Use the category ENG1101 Project #2 and the tag Peer Feedback.

If you have questions about Project #2, please come see me in my office during office hours, Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:00-3:00.

Project #1: Reflection(PeerFeedback)

After reading the comments posted about my bio I was satisfied. They were able to describe me what I was missing and areas where I need to make it stronger. One of the comment written was how I describe myself more and instead of how my avatar relates to me. They would like to know how photography is similar to me and if it’s important to me. I wanted people to know who I am as a person, what I enjoy to do and I what I hope to do. Also, describe what my avatar means to me and what I want the people to know about it. I am very thankful to my classmate who were able to give great comments to improve. Another reason that I enjoy receiving feedback it points out missing ideas that could have made it stronger. Getting feedback from my classmate and giving feedback to each other will help one another writing.

Reflection process

I believe that offering feedback to my peers can guide them and spark new ideas for them to apply to their work. It also helps them to discover any mistakes that they may have mad during the course of their work. It is good to have a fresh set of eyes to view work because it can reveal hidden errors that the writer may have never seen in the process. Offering feed back also allows me to learn more about the people in my specific group through their writing. With this knowledge it will come easier to work with them in any future assignments that we receive.

Project #1 : Reflecting

As I read my comments was very relieved to see how my draft turned out pretty well. One of the comments made me smile the most when it read that it really made that person think more about their draft and try to approve their draft. I wanted the reader to know me and I did just that without rambling and going off topic. I wanted it to be clear for the readers. I’m glad that they enjoyed reading it. But I thought I needed to fix something’s. Oh well. I didn’t want this to be dull and uninteresting to anyone. I did a lot of writing in the past so I would say I can make it pretty eye-catching to the reader. I’m not trying to brag but it’s the truth.  Well, I’m glad and relieved from those positive and honest comments :)

Thanks!

Introducing Myself (Reflection)

After receiving feedback from my classmates, I realized I’m missing many important details in my essay. I should include more details about my personal information between the second paragraph and the third paragraph. However, they mentioned about my short-term goal, I believe I really don’t know what my short-term goal is at this point. I believe getting a good GPA should be considered a short-term goal, so I will add it in my essay. In the end, I should add more details on how the outside world and the future connect to my avatar and my personality.

While offering feedback to my classmates, I believe it is very interesting to do, because I believe I can understand who they are and who they want to be. Knowing each one’s background and interest helped me to communicate with them more easily. In addition, I believe offering critiques will help them improve their essay. Clearly, the action of exchanging feedback will help us to become a better writer and a better reader.

Peer reviews of Project #1 drafts

To develop your ideas for Project #1, you’ve had the benefit of sharing your ideas with classmates in class this week, getting their feedback and hearing their ideas, too. Now that you have completed a draft of Project #1, collaborate with your classmates again to offer feedback:

  • DUE end-of-day Tuesday:
  • Read the drafts that your two group-mates posted on their ePortfolios.
  • Reply with a comment to each of them that answers the following three questions about each paragraph:
    • What do you understand?
    • What do you not understand, or need clarified?
    • With our interest in simplicity and economy in mind, what if anything is extraneous?
    • What if anything is missing?
  • Due end-of-day Thursday:
  • Read the comments on your draft and write a post on your ePortfolio reflecting on the process of receiving—and offering—critiques on Project #1. Use the category Project #1 and the tag Peer Feedback.
