Journal Q&A 5/6/15

1. I think my paper was okay.  I enjoyed the topic I chose to write about, and I was really happy I was able to find a lot of academic pieces written on the subject across multiple disciplines.  I found it a bit difficult to tie in the course readings, though, and I feel like it was a little hard to analyze the two academic pieces I chose because, while they were good examples, they were incredibly long and it was hard to pull out important details from the blocks of text. 
2. One of the people in my group told me my thesis could be more arguable, so I changed the wording around a bit and I’m much happier with it now.  The other commented on one of my sentences saying that it was a little confusing and that I should maybe try rewording it.  I completely rewrote the sentence and now it’s easier to read and actually helps transition into the next paragraph.
3. I actually enjoyed the digital Peer/Reader review more than the “old school” one.  I thought it was easier to edit my own paper because I had the comments right next to the document.  I thought the whole highlighting/commenting thing was really efficient and helpful.
