After asking my room mates to peer review my paper and getting only
positive (polite) feedback I decided to take matters into my own hands and go
to the BYU writing lab. This was quite a scary experience to start with because
it is rather intimidating taking a piece of your writing to a stranger but
after a minute or two my mentor made me feel really comfortable. The biggest shock
to me was having to read my work aloud, the parts that didn’t work really stood
out like a sore thumb which was good because I had gotten so used to skimming
over it that until I read it aloud I didn’t realize how it really sounded. This
made me notice what and how to reword and restructure some of my sentences.
Other feedback that I got consisted of...
Make my sentences A LOT shorter.
Make
some points more concise
Don’t
repeat the same idea in a different way
More
analysis, less history
Double
and triple check my grammar
