Thlog week 3

This week, the primary emphasis was our WP1. I really liked this week's activities and thought I gained a lot from them. Doing the revising activities in groups was really beneficial because I got feedback from other people as well as insight on other people's writing. The combination of two definitely helped me improve my WP1 because I was able to add things in that helped the content and flow of my paper.  I was previously unclear on how I would go about incorporating outside sources in my paper, but after seeing multiple examples from my group member's work, I felt more confident about including them in my paper. In high school, I felt like getting feedback from classmates was useless because it was mostly made up of any bullshit a classmate could write down in order to make it look like they were actually doing something during class. Because of the lack of quality feedback, my papers were almost 100% revised by myself which usually consisted of a few grammer corrections and punctual revisions. With a paper outlining the revision process and having intelligent, hard-working students give me feedback, I was thrilled to revise my paper according to their criticism because it was honest and meaningful. Getting feedback from others is a great way for me to become a more effective writer, so I'm very happy that it's a part of this class.
