Journal 5: Revision

The Assignment

For Learning Journal #5, reflect on the end result of Project 2.  Here are some questions to consider — feel free to use any or all of these questions in your writing.  Or you can simply type 750 words with your thoughts about the project — no need to hit any specific question.

Questions to consider:

• What did you think of the workshop process?  Was the feedback from your classmates helpful as you began your revisions?  Did reading other papers give you ideas for how to improve your own?

• What's your revision process?  Did you find yourself making major changes between drafts?  Or did you primary focus on expanding the paper from one draft to the next?  How did the workshop feedback influence your choices?

• How do you feel about the end result?  Do you like the paper you've written?  What parts did you most enjoy writing?  Were there any sections that caused real problems?  Were there any parts of the paper that just didn't go well?
