Discussion Boards and Peer-Review

-

    The last assignment that I learned from, are the discussion posts we would do during class and having peer review from our classmates. I liked doing both of these assignments, because it allowed us to communicate with our classmates and work together to answer questions. An example of this was Discussion Board: Genre Transformation where the class brainstormed what they were going to do for their genre transformation. I liked this assignment, because it allowed me to see how everyone else would carry out their genre transformation and gave me an idea of how I should do my transformation as well. In addition, peer review from our classmates was another big helping hand to my editing and revising. In my last paper, Research Paper: Transit system at SDSU I had two classmates review and give feedback on what I could improve on and what they liked from my argument. Having two people peer review my paper, allowed me to see what parts of my paper were weak, see how I can expand on my analysis or make my argument stronger, and catch grammatical errors. Overall, I liked this in-class, leaving three comments and an end-note a lot because it showed me where my strengths were in my paper, and my weaknesses. My strengths being in my introductions and my weaknesses being my analysis.

I found this article important to my research paper, because the goal of our research paper assignment was to challenge the powerhouse. In my paper, the powerhouse was SDSU. After conducting my interview, I had to create an interview transcript to have evidence for the research paper I would do later in the semester. Even though this assignment was time consuming with the way how I had to organize the paper and try to get an accurate transcript from the video recording to the paper, it allowed me to formulate an argument from the key words from the transcription and i...

     Throughout this Spring semester in RWS200, I have learned a handful of useful topics and writing skills that I can apply in my future writing assignments. I have learned how to appeal to certain audiences, how to write for a specific genre, how to conduct my own research, and how to find resources through the SDSU online library. All of these writing skills I learned throughout this semester helped me to develop my writer’s voice and how to write in different tones in assignments like the discussion boards, the research paper, and the blogs. Three assignments from this class that transformed my writing and my understanding skills are: the interview transcript for data collection, the blog posts, and the discussion boards during class. From these assignments, I have learned important skills of how to break down my own primary research data, how to connect with different audiences through rhetoric, and the importance of having well thought out comments in peer review p...
