Upon Reviewing The Feedback That You Received Last Week During The Pee

Upon reviewing the feedback that you received last week during the peer review process, as well as the feedback from your instructor, take a moment to describe the main areas of your paper that you need to work on, as well as areas that your reviewer felt you did well on. How will you remedy any areas of weakness in your paper? Did your reviewer feel you did a solid job comparing and contrasting your topics? Did you effectively persuade your reader, why or why not? Reflection posts must be 300 to 400 words in length and posted by Day 3.

Instructor Feedback: I enjoyed your examples from the readings! Remember to italicize any titles that appear in text, following APA guidelines. On the other hand, quotations do not require italics.

Paper For Above instruction

Reflecting on the peer review and instructor feedback received on my paper, I recognize several key areas of strength and weakness that will guide my revision process. The positive aspect highlighted by reviewers was my effective use of examples from the readings, which enhanced my analysis and helped illustrate my points clearly. These examples demonstrated my understanding of the material and contributed to engaging the reader. Additionally, I was commended for aligning my ideas with the overall topic, showing my ability to integrate sources meaningfully into my arguments.

However, several areas require improvement. The primary concern from the instructor was related to adherence to APA formatting rules, specifically the need to italicize titles of works appearing in text, such as books and articles. This oversight not only impacted the professionalism of my paper but also could affect the clarity of my citations. Moreover, while my comparisons and contrasts between topics were generally effective, I realize that I could strengthen my analysis by providing more nuanced distinctions and deeper critical insights. This would enhance the persuasiveness of my arguments and demonstrate a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.

To address these weaknesses, I plan to meticulously review APA guidelines to ensure proper formatting, especially regarding italics for titles and correct quotation practices. I will also revise my paper to deepen my comparative analysis, emphasizing subtle differences and similarities that strengthen my overall argument. This could involve incorporating additional scholarly sources that offer alternative perspectives, thus enriching my discussion and making my comparisons more compelling.

Regarding the effectiveness of my persuasion, I believe that my paper was somewhat successful, but there is room for improvement. I aimed to persuade the reader through logical reasoning and supported claims; however, incorporating more robust evidence and counterarguments would further solidify my position. Ensuring clarity, coherence, and strong evidence throughout the paper will be my focus in subsequent revisions.

In summary, by focusing on proper formatting, deepening my analytical comparisons, and strengthening my persuasive techniques, I am confident that I can improve my paper’s quality. Reflecting on this feedback provides valuable direction to refine my writing and meet academic standards more effectively.
