Critical Reflection Outline

Critical reflection outline

Description

All students of ES1102 are required to write a peer review for an assigned student after every drafts that are written 

How I feel about it

- Initially, I was not confident about my ability to give an accountable and faultless peer review, for the obvious reason that we are all taking ES1102

- For the same reason, I was very stubborn about changing things in my essay until I clarified with Brad about what I needed to improve on. 

- Realised that giving peer review is important because it gives me a chance to put my understanding of the english language to the test 

- Spotting errors help me see why a sentence has an awkward structure, or SVA etc. 

- These were errors I usually cannot spot in my own essays, because they seemed natural and fluent to me. 

- Made me more conscious about my writing style and usage of grammar during writing. 

- The act of typing peer reviews came with a social responsibility of ensuring that the reader could understand what I said, forcing myself to write in clear and precise language 

- I had also tried to give accurate peer reviews with the intention of giving proper feedback that would truly help in improving the essays. 

What will I do as a result of this experience

- I have tried to apply what I learnt as much as possible to other writing assignments and one main improvement in my writing is the elimination of second person pronouns from my academic essays. 

- Needless to say, learning does not stop here, the short course in ES1102 will not correct all the problems that I have. 

- Still a need to consistently learn from reading and to take note of how other writers expresses their ideas. 

- Good chance to learn in projects when peers rephrase my sentences
