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.
