Midterm

The class does have a fast pace but I am fairly comfortable with it. I like the pace because it forces me to stay focused. It challenges me to create habits that can produce high quality papers in a short period of time.
Currently I am working on not procrastinating in completing revisions and editing my assignments. I find the emphasis on peer reviewing in this class to be very helpful. The next half of semester I am planning on using my study group more by requesting more peer reviews.
My study group can help me by continuing to peer review my assignments. The extra set of eyes greatly helps in revising papers. During a week that a paper is being written, it would be helpful to meet outside of class as peers to discuss the assignment.
Ms. Hedengren can help me by having more clarity when introducing small assignments such as the Rhetorical Reading Analysis Worksheet. This will help me use my time more efficiently. I like the lessons on developing my own writing style in any genre. More lessons like these would be beneficial.
The opinionated editorial. It was the first assignment of this genre that I have written and it was very successful. I was nervous that my topic did not have enough of a serious nature to be considered an editorial. However with many different peer reviews and revisions, I was able to develop the proper tone to create an effective editorial.
