In Abby’s paper, at the beginning, in reference to her introduction paragraph, I made the positive criticism that her thesis was made clear. I feel as if this was helpful to her because she would be able to know for sure that she was getting her main point across that she would be referencing throughout the entirety of her essay. I then referenced a spelling error because I felt that it hindered the readers understanding of her essay. I feel as if one of the major problems we were taught to look for is anything that hindered the readers understanding of what point that the writer was attempting to get across. Next, I gave a suggestion to reference one of the other authors included in this section of class. I felt like a point from Sanderson’s talk would strengthen the argument made in the paper. This fulfills the requirement of the learning outcome because I was using evidence to support the writers argument in order to progress towards a stronger overall final product with more credible authors from the texts we’ve looked at. I made a comment regarding the wording of a sentence because it hindered understanding. I felt like I did well here because I told them exactly what needed to be worded, as to provide for easier revision. I wanted the person to elaborate more on the quote because I felt as if there was definitely more that could’ve been said on the topic. The author just kind of restated the quote rather than explaining it in a full manner. If I was to review her paper again, I would have referred her to Barclays formula in the Emerging text. She could have referenced it in order to embed the quotation better, as well as wrote more for her analysis. Finally, I suggested an idea for her paper, perhaps an extra line of analysis for the quote in which she referenced. The end comment was sufficient.
