Overview
This assignment will consist of two parts:
1. Revision of your research paper
2. Expanded reflection on the research writing process and experience, to be answered separately in the comments box of the assignment folder.
Part 1: Research Paper Revisions (60 points)
You will review the feedback that you have received on your first publish (from your instructor, peer review, and/or self-review), and you will make revisions and edits based on your goals.
I enjoyed reading your work. You have a good start here. We need to continue to work on focusing and organizing your ideas around your three main points. The thesis needs to be clear and state the three main points you will discuss in the paper. Then we would write one paragraph about each of those main points. Please read through my comments in the paper. This time I made comments with the Word or PDF file you submitted. I have attached that file to the gradebook so that you may access it. You will need to click on the attached file. You should see my comments inside of the paper and in notes out to the side (in the margins). paper is attached
You will track the changes from your first publish so that your instructor can easily identify where you made revisions.
Use strikethrough to indicate areas that should be deleted.
Use bold-face to indicate areas where you are adding content.
Part 2: Expanded Reflection (40 points)
You will answer reflective questions on the research writing experience and process. This is an expanded reflection because it requires more in-depth answers than the reflection questions on previous assignments. It is also worth a greater proportion of the assignment grade.
1. Where did you decide to focus your revision efforts, and why? Answer in one paragraph of approximately 5-7 sentences, and be as specific as possible.
2. What changes occurred in your understanding of your selected issue during the course of researching and writing? Consider what you knew or believed about the topic before and what you know or believe about it now. Also consider whether you look at the issue from a different perspective following your research and whether you have reconsidered opinions or assumptions that you held at the beginning of the semester. Answer in one paragraph of approximately 5-7 sentences, and be as specific as possible.
3.How did changes in your understanding of your selected issue occur? Consider which sources from your research had the greatest effect on your understanding. Also consider the role of interaction with your classmates, professor, and/or other people. Answer in one paragraph of approximately 5-7 sentences, and be as specific as possible.
4. What did you learn about the writing process in general or about your writing process in particular? Consider techniques or approaches that did or did not work for you as well as techniques or approaches that you would like to try in the future. Also consider any obstacles that you faced, how you handled them, and whether you would handle them the same or differently in the future. Answer in one paragraph of approximately 5-7 sentences, and be as specific as possible.
Sources for expanded reflection: No minimum number of sources. Cite any sources you use in APA format.
