Critical Reflection: Outline

Write a critically reflective post on the topic “The Role of Peer and Tutor Feedback." Explain your view of that feedback, how it impacted your developing writing skills, and whether/how you might have transferred content, organization and language skills learned in the course to writing assignments within any other module. This should be 300 to 400 words.


The Role of Peer and Tutor Feedback
1. Describe the experience
- Enriching
- Helps to critically reflect on our writing as well as share writing experiences with others
- Learn different styles of writing (choose and adapt the different styles to suit individual)

2. Why / how did it happen? What factors contributed? How do you feel about it?
- Guidelines / template for peer feedback
- Questions to guide us on how to analyze and evaluate each other's essays i.e. to look out for subject-verb agreement, flow / transition, thesis statement etc.
- Intimidating... helps to be open and accept critique
- Constructive feedback, specific (tell us on what to focus on, and how to improve on it)
- Helps me identify on what to work on

3. What is your new interpretation of the experience? What is the significance? What did you learn about yourself and others?
- Useful for students, especially for FASS - need to submit a lot of essay assignments
- Organization is very important because it helps the reader to understand the flow of the essay better (and it sustains their attention too)

4. What will you do as a result of this experience? How will you use it to inform your future?
- Apply these skills learnt in future essay writing
- Organize content and search for sources / information well before drafting out the essay
- Remember to cite journals properly
