Late last week we submitted our Second Life Analysis essays to the OnCourse forums for peer editing. Sadly, I only received one peer edit. This may be because I waited until Saturday to post my draft. It might also have been that people started to read it, found it boring and moved on, with the exception of one very kind soul. She was very complimentary of my work, and my cool avatar, which made me smile. She also gave me some helpful feedback about the conclusion of my essay and how I might improve it with information from my overly long introduction. I knew the conclusion needed work when I submitted the first draft and her advice was just the ticket. When I did my peer reviews, I suppose the question I would have added to the PR form was in regards to grammar and sentence structure. I think that’s a good thing to mention in any peer review, but since it wasn’t on the form, I didn’t want to sound nitpicky. I would love to have feedback on grammar because sometimes my sentences don’t sound to other people the way I hear them in my head. Yikes, it sounds like I hear voices. I promise, I’m not schizophrenic; my spirit guide told me so…but I digress.
After reading through some of my classmates’ papers, I gained some insight into their personalities as well as finding the assignment to be more rich and involving than I expected it to be when I read the criteria for Project 1 in the beginning of the semester. Also, after some of the other essays, I was reassured that I had written the right kind. That was a load off of my mind.
Why can't I get some space between my title and my entry????? Arrghghghghg! No matter how I try, it sticks it right up under there. I don't want to change my whole blog template to fix this problem, but it really is making me a little crazy. Oh well, that's no different than my usual state, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteLook! There's a nice space under my name when I comment! How come it's different for the main entry?
