Peer Revision


My peers were all equally uninformed on my topic of colorism. They were honestly surprised by some of the facts that supported my thesis. They all agreed that I had an adequate amount of supporting details as well as variety in my sources. Some mentioned that a few of my quotes and supporting details may be too long to cite. I didn’t cite the Webster dictionary correctly. I also was told that one of my sentences had some repetition, so we worked to fix that. The peer revision process is always helpful to me because I need someone with a different perspective to read it. I can then know if it flows and if my information makes sense and supports my thesis statement. I may also sometimes misspell words or even leave words out and other people will be able to spot it while I may be not.

When to Cite information ? ( I gotchu)

        Plagiarism  occurs when outside information that is used in an essay is not cited correctly or cited at all.  Once a source is found and incorporated, the source needs to be cited.  Always properly cite an author's original idea,  regardless of whether you have directly quoted or paraphrased it.   Your source citation of a book, website, article, or dictionary shows that an expert backs up your statement and tells the reader how to find the facts. All In all siting your information is an away step and very much necessary to avoid any major errors of plagiarism that will result in an F and further action.

The Experience of Essay #2

         Ok so to start this essay was way much fast and easier for me to achieve. Which is honestly surprising after all of the problems that I have been having with life. This is because I originally thought I was behind my class. I was out for a week so I had checked the schedule and idk. I was wrong complete and freaked out for nothing. Because I thought I was behind I went home the next day and wrote my essay that night, not completely finishing but having for paragraphs. This essay definitely required more information and searching. I had to be more careful about how I worded everything and to make sure they were all supporting my thesis statement. It was much easier because I was just providing information to the reader while supporting my thesis. I also always try to pick topics that I know interest me, so it is easier for me to find a flow of words.

College + Life = Struggle

          College students often struggle to keep up with their schoolwork while also keeping up with life. Life comes quick and when college is involved it multiplies. School in itself is a personal job, you have to manage your time, grades and life all at once. School is more advanced and challenging than what it used to be. Many people who push to achieve an education but also have day-to-day life problems struggle. Colleges often try to be more flexible for their students and also teachers so that everyone can prosper. Most students have a job and also have to balance school and work life. This often causes stress and once we are stressed all hell breaks loose. Your hair isn’t done, you look like a bum you got 6 assignments due tomorrow and you got to work til’ 12 pm tonight. That is what you call quitting time. (lol,JK) College is the first real taste of independence for a lot of people. This means that many of the decisions that were once made for y...
