My draft was finally complete and now I had to get feedback on it from my classmates in the writing center. What we did was read aloud each of our drafts. Some were partially completed but just had to fix the mistakes that were on the draft. I was part of a three member group myself included and sat in a circle. The first person to go within my group had a nice clean draft but had to improve on giving full sentences. I did not really want to but I had to be critical it is not to be mean but it helps each of us make our essay better. The next person did not really have that many mistakes to me everything sounded ok. Last was my paper. I read it aloud it and it happened to loose both my team members concentration based upon the fact they said it seemed so long. I did however make mistakes. My problem was that I kept using first persons. So I received the feedback which in my opinion improved my draft. I did go to the writing center before doing this assignment. I went in with nothing just what was inside of my head. I got down everything and received my tutor’s feedback as well. We both figured out the differences on both of the websites. My thesis was created and I figured out a way on how to get started. The only thing I did not like was that when we discussed my draft I got two different types of feedback. One was good and one was sort of bad. The bad feedback was from my class. My sentences were to long and the other following reason I listed before. The good feedback was from my tutor of course I would think it would be good only because in my opinion tutors say what they think sounds good. Which it does in some ways but I was still confused. Even though I had my tutor it was sort of a bad vibe only because I knew she kind of made faces because I was more of a myspace fan than facebook. The way I think of the feedback helped not only me but each of our drafts. If I would not have gotten the feedback I know my essay would have been screwed up but thanks to the writing center and my fellow students it would not be so messed up.
