My Writing

I think my writing has dramatically improved from the beginning of this semester. Something that really brought me down in my writing was that I used to get terrible writers block and now that's not a problem for me. Practice makes perfect and from all the essays that I have had to write, my writing has become a lot better. I have learned how to organize my thoughts and bring them together for a well thought out essay. There's no sign that I have found that shows that my writing could be any weaker. The more I tend to do something the more I enjoy it and become better at it overall.

Group Editing

Peer group editing can be either a hit or miss. In the class, it depends on the students and how hard they are willing to work. If you have a class full of bozos who don't want to do any work and write crappy essays just because they want to then you will get a peer editing group just sitting around talking about sports or the weather. If you have a willing class, however, that wants to learn and progress in their writing, you will find that the peer group editing is very sucessful. Another good trait for students to have when editing eachother's papers is honesty. Being able to be honest and come right out and say this paper sucks or you need to re-do this whole paragraph is mandatory for a sucessful editing process.
