Discuss the importance of revising and editing.
In addition, discuss your thoughts on today's class activities. (re: patterns of argument, logical fallacies, essay brain stretcher, etc.)
revising and editing is very important. If we did not have to revise and edit, it is more likely that whatever were doing such as writing papers, or turning in documents will all be inaccurate and filled with horrible grammar. Revising and editing is what makes a paper so wonderful and perfect.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on that! Writing and revising does help improve our paper.
DeleteSorry, meant editing and not writing
DeleteI agree, revising and editing really helps find some grammatical issues that we probably wouldn't catch ourselves doing on the first draft.
DeleteI agree, revising and editing a paper is what makes the paper so wonderful and perfect
DeleteI agree! Reading through your paper is important so you can spot a grammatical error or perhaps a redundant sentence.
DeleteRevising and editing are very important. Without these methods, i think papers would make little to no sense.
DeleteThe importance of revising and editing is simple. It dramatically improves a person's paper like the organization, grammar, punctuation, to match the assignment requirements, etc. If there was no revising and editing, the papers would probably not be quite good in the quality sense.
ReplyDeleteTrue, it improved me too and ever since i edited and revised my papers i get less errors on everything i write!
DeleteI agree, these techniques definitely improve someone's paper!
DeleteWell said!
DeleteAgreed! It's as if you're cleaning a dirty car and you're just finishing getting those small spots!
DeleteIt is very important to revise and edit our papers to make sure that there are no grammatical mistakes and that it's well organized with its structure. Moreover revising and editing someone else's paper helps them become a better writer by showing them any mistakes they have made and how to fix it to strengthen the support of their thesis or topic. We need editing and revising to create professional well organized papers because sloppy and disorganized work is probably not accepted here at college.
ReplyDeleteOrganization really caught my attention. Organizing is very important not just in reading and writing, but in life in general.
DeleteI agree, peer reviews really help me become a better writer. Other people have different writing techniques than we do, and it can help us think outside our box.
DeleteI agree, going over someone else's paper does help them improve their writing.
DeleteAgreed, its good to learn from your mistakes!
DeleteWe all learn from mistakes and try to learn from them! This motto is involved with writing as well.
DeleteNo one is perfect, but the language is. That's why we do these things in writing.
DeleteI agree. If you do not correct someone's mistakes, it is more likely that they will continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. I know that once i see the mistake i have made and i correct it, it helps me develop my skill to be better.
DeleteRevising and editing is very important. Revising and editing helps us to find mistakes that we did not notice when we first wrote the paper. I personally like someone to peer review my paper before revising and editing, so someone can help me find things that I can do to better my paper and I can consider their ideas along with my own ideas. Also, without revising and editing, our papers would not be as organized and well written.
ReplyDeleteI agree, revising and editing helps us find mistakes that we didn't notice when we first wrote the paper!
DeleteYes, it's good to get some perspective other than your own because others can sometimes see what you may not.
DeleteWhat a good way to find someone who may inspire you with their ideas and become an even better writer!
Deleteindeed, we don't want our paper to be full of mistakes if we didn't revise and edit!
DeleteYes, having perspective is a great way to become a better writer. And the only way to have perspective is to share it with your peers and friends, this way you and your peers can learn more about writing process.
DeleteRevising and editing your paper is a very helpful step that everyone should make before turning in their final draft. To revise and edit a paper, one must simply go over what they wrote and look for any grammatical errors. One should also review their paper for any sentences that need structuring. This is a very important step because as writers, we tend to jolt down every idea that comes to mind, and sometimes we think faster than we type/write which may lead to some misspelled words and so on.
ReplyDeleteIts like our hand is trying to catch up with the ideas that's just rushing forth in our minds.
Deleteindeed, we should just free write and then revise and edit our papers. I think its a good step in order to write a perfect essay.
DeleteThat is true. Many times when i am writing i am thinking faster than my hands can move, then when i go back and read my work i have typos and grammatical errors. This is one of the reasons why i think it is necessary for us to revise and edit our work before we turn it in.
DeleteWho knew that revising require this much details, but I'm sure once that paper is done it will be flawless!
DeleteAfter reading the Toronto Writing made me realized how important it is to revise. Not just read it over but to think, organize, select, connect, and also read aloud thoroughly. I learned not to depend on grammar and spell check but also avoid neglecting small details like, cover page, number of page, double-space, standard font, reference list, and most of all STAPLE!
ReplyDeleteThe find the class lesson today was quite difficult. I'm not familiar with atterns of argument, logical fallacies at all. I learned a lot through the difficult exercises.
Staples are very critical. We need to come prepared more often even though it's near the end of the semester.
DeleteThose are good ways to really revise your essay. I am sure your paper is as close to perfect after you have executed all those steps.
DeleteAnd stapling... Gosh who knew that would be such an investment. We should donate a stapler.
yea basic of writing is organizing your structure so it is very helpful.
DeleteRevising and Editing is vital for writing because it is a chance and more room for improvement on your paper. Perhaps you have second thoughts on a certain paragraph or sentence. Maybe you even have some grammatical errors. This writing process stage shall be a boost on your paper and you will be more satisfied. It'll take hard work and a lot of thinking, but it would be worth it.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is worth thinking. Editing is a critical thinking skill as well.
DeleteImprovement is the key word, there's always room to improve!
Deleteyes, improving writing that is needed for it. when i write i know i made a few mistakes so going back and revising is very helpful
DeleteRevising and editing are every important elements of the writing process. Without revising and editing things would be very informal and unclear. Revising and editing gives you a a chance to make corrections to errors you may not have notices while in the process of writing. It also give you a chance to insure that all your ideas are organized and make sense. I have never meet anyone who could write a perfect paper on the first try.
ReplyDeleteWe'll definitely revise better with these tips. I need to practice how to revise.
DeleteRevising and editing is what us writers do every time we write about something. It's very complex in the English language to make things perfect. That's why we go back and check any errors. The recent post almost made me cry.
ReplyDeleterevising and editing is is important. it helps us keep track of how we are doing and where we made mistakes in out problems of writing
ReplyDeleteThe importance of editing and revising are always helpful when writing papers. Editing is important because your first draft will never be perfect. There will always be mistakes, which is why you edit to make your details, words, or make any changes with anything. On the other hand revising is also important because after editing you want to make sure your paper is readable and organized.
