Throughout the semester in ES1102, we had many essay writing
assignments. The tutor and peer feedback came hand in hand. We are supposed to
read and analyse our peers essay in order to give constructive feedback on
their grammar, organization and the main points of their essays. However it’s not
only about giving feedback, each of us also received a fair share of feedback.
In the beginning I thought the system was a waste of time
and useless. On the contrary, the feedback system was not as time consuming as
we expected as we are provided with the guidelines and outlines. This was
incredibly helpful as it eliminated most of the brainstorming and it prevented
us from missing out any topics by letting us know what we are supposed to look
out for. I believe this would be incredibly useful when I write my final paper
at the end of the semester, as I am better equipped to spot my own mistakes
when I review my paper before submission due to the amount of practice we had
throughout the class.
While giving and receiving feedback from my peers, I was
able to gather the opinions from different people not only from the Mr Blackstone.
And by doing so, it provided me with different perspectives to the same essay
such as how we could better formulate our thesis statement or how we could have
phrased the same point better. In a way it gave us more opportunity to learn
compared to writing and reflecting on just our paper.
The process might not be as enjoyable as some other modules
that I have taken but Mr Blackstone really made learning English more bearable
that I imagined. He made us understand
why is writing academically important to us, especially when are we expected to
write a lot during our university career. And when we give feedback on our
peers view on their English learning journey, it gave us a feeling of comradely
in the class which really made this class enjoyable. Which I felt was one of
the perks of having the peer and tutor feedback system.
Even though ES1102 is an ungraded module, I am glad I took
it seriously as the skills that were obtained from the peer and tutor review is
applicable to my other elective modules such as sociology and public speaking
which I am taking this semester.
Thank you, Zhengguang, for this comprehensive, well focused reflection. You start by contextualizing the writing assignments and explaining how these and feedback go "hand in hand." Then you steer the discussion toward peer and tutor feedback, while expressing your opinion with clarity.
ReplyDeleteI especially like this bit: "While giving and receiving feedback from my peers, I was able to gather the opinions from different people not only from the Mr Blackstone. And by doing so, it provided me with different perspectives to the same essay such as how we could better formulate our thesis statement or how we could have phrased the same point better. In a way it gave us more opportunity to learn compared to writing and reflecting on just our paper." That is very insightful.
I also appreciate how you have given some thought to how all of this review stuff might impact your other concurrent writing, but I would have like to read something about what you will do in the way of "peer feedback" in the future. Good luck with that, and all the best as you continue your learning journey!
These feedbacks are really important as how much useful they are on their professions and people would hire them then. useful info that helps me a lot on my academic papers writing.
