Revision Letter
Many things contribute to my process of
revising. To begin, when I get my comments back from my professor, I do not
begin to make changes right away. I chose to wait a little bit, usually a day
or two, so I can start to revise it with a clear mind after I had some time to
think about how to make my essay even better. The last essay we had to write
definitely represents my most significantly revised essay. This is because I
changed the whole essay question when I rewrote the second draft. Instead of
having a essay about how the ban of fraternities and sororities will affect
incoming students, I changed the topic to why did the ban occurs at Rutgers
University and is that the best way to solve the problem?. Next, when I begin
to make changes to my essay, I first focus my attention to grammar to get the
easier things done and finally finish it up with fixing the content. My
understanding of content vs grammar has definitely changed. I now see grammar
as a smaller part of the revision process that involves punctuation, run on,
and comma splices. I see content as something that has to do with the SEER
method, using it to make your point stronger throughout the essay. Honestly, I
am not very willing to create an entirely new approach to my writing when I get
feedback. However, it will only make my paper stronger in the end so it is best
to take the feedback and use it in my revision. When I revise, using a
thesaurus makes my writing process a lot easier as well as using other sources
to make my essay the best it could be.
