Trail And Error

          So, i write a paper thinking that there are no more mistakes, but noooo there's plenty and the worst thing is that they are the same mistakes i make each time i write a paper. some of the commom mistakes that i make are: run-on sentences, chronological order, few details, and lastly i keep repeating the same things all over again.
  
         Sometimes when I'm writting a paper I tend to forget splitting up long sentences because i feel that they are perfect they way im writing them; its almost as if im thinking that i am writing what i speak instead of typing wht im writing. Due to that I have chronological order malfunction (lol). Yea i write whats last first and i write what's first last (some habit huh?).  Also, when I am writing  tend to leave out details because i just want to finish the paper fast that I don't wanna include details just to finish the paper, but that sometimes turns out to be bad. Instead I repeat myself all over again and that causes a bad paper.

          And there you have it, my usually mistakes or errors that I make whenever I write papers, luckily I have procrastinsted on making the same mistakes now. All thanks to the corrections and spotting of the same errors each time I rewrite a paper. =D

What About Peer Review?



So what about peer review? Well for most I think it's a very great way to realize what mistakes you made or ideas that are missing to your paper. I strongly agree that this method is effective upon writers because it helps us be comfortable listening to opinions from people that you are most comfortable with. Can this be improved? I don't quite think this should be improved because I don't think there is something that may have a bad outcome. But if anythig I would just suggest more time reviewing with peers bc one or 2 days can't kill all the reviewed material.
As a peer reviewer I find that I can strongly identify mistakes within reading my peers paper and I can automatically add various opinions as well. If I have a weakness upon reviewing; I don't think so. When I review a peers paper the first thing that I do is read the whole paper, next I retread again and then I go into detail with my peer and tell them what I think about their paper. After, I tell them what I think needs to be improved and I give them my opinion on what could be added. That's typically my peer review process.

Yay! Free Writing!



Isn't it great when the teacher gives you the option to write about anything you want? To me it is because it's like freedom! LoL. Well since she said we can write about anything I'm going to write about a paper that I am so happy about, not proud but happy! :) during my sophomore year in high school my science teacher asked us to do an extra credit assignment. It didn't matter what it would be on but it had to be science related. So I decided to write a small poem about mitosis. I didn't fully understand the whole process of mitosis, but I knew what I had to write about and therefor I wrote my mitosis poem I was so happy that everything came out like I expected and also because my teacher really liked it too! It was a paper that I didn't have to brainstorm alot, give me headaches, or didn't even procrastinate on it. I finished it in a flash and enjoyed jotting down every single word and added all details to it. When my teacher returned the paper the first thing that I saw was a very big smiley face along with a comment saying that she had enjoyed the poem of mitosis and that I had earned my extra credit points! Hehe that's the poem I am truly happy of have written. :)
