Workshop Reflection Response

Each member of my inquiry group served a vital role in revising my academic paper.  Individually, they each shared effective and valuable advice. Rachel Pilkington was very engaged in the workshop. Rachel enlightened me on my excessive use of quotes in my introduction paragraph and she concluded that it would behoove me to summarize my points instead of using too many quotes. Also, Rachel reminded me that it is essential to cite every author that I include in my writing.  Furthermore, Dominica Beverly was also helpful during the work shopping process. Dominica pointed out that I repeated some words and phrases were redundant. Also, Dominica pointed out that I made a group of words, such as parents and students, unnecessarily possessive. In addition, Kayla Edge also contributed to the work shopping process. Kayla pointed out many grammatically incorrect errors and phrases that I could have made easier for the reader to understand.

                 The most valuable advice that I received during the work shopping process was from my colleague Rachel. Using too many quotes in a paragraph without summarization devalued my paper so I am very fortunate for this piece of advice. My least valuable advice that I received was to correct the punctuation errors in my paper. Despite its importance, correcting punctuation errors is the last step in my revision process.  When I revise, I plan on summarizing my main points and I will use my research to back up my points. Also, I plan on removing any repetitive words or phrases that are redundant. Lastly, I will correct all the grammatically incorrect errors in my paper, citing all the authors I used as well.
