Reflection of Project 3

In this post I will be reflecting on writing project 3 by answering several questions.

• What was specifically revised from one draft to another?

From my fist draft to my final draft, I changed my focus from more central to the causes to the actual topic of quantum consciousness instead. In the final draft grammar and spelling mistakes were changed.

• How did you reconsider your thesis or organization?

I reconsidered my thesis to focus more on the actual topic instead of straying off and talking about something else. For my organization, I found myself dividing my sections and appropriately connecting them.

• What led to these changes?

After reading the peer review and then returning and reading my paper again, I realized that a lot of the things that the reviewer acknowledged were problematic with the continuity of the paper.

• How do these changes affect your credibility as an author?

I don't think these changes affected my credibility that much because I didn't add anything that added or took away from my credibility.

• How will these changes better address the audience or venue?

These changes will better address the audience by talking about the actual debate instead of diverting the discussion to something else. I also think that these changes will also fit more with the venue due to the fact that articles on slate tend to focus more on the actual debate instead of going off on a tangent.

• How did you reconsider sentence structure?

Before I actually sat down and wrote my paper, I thought about how I wanted my paper to sound and thought about the certain sentence structures. I decided to take on simple sentence structures to keep my audience engaged and interested.

• How did these changes assist your audience in understand your purpose?

I think that these changes helped my audience understand my purpose by keeping them interested and engage in the text. This allows for them to understand things a lot easier and process the information I give them better because they are small tidbits at a time.

• Did you ever reconsider the conventions of the particular genre in which you are writing?

Before I actually started writing, I wrote down all of the conventions I needed to use so I did not need to return and go back and reconsider them.

• How does the process of reflection help you reconsider your identity?

I think that after reflecting on my writing, I see myself to be really a heavy planner and that can be seen in the previous questions that show that I like to plan out before I actually start writing.
