Journal 2

Like the majority of students, I wasn't planning on revising anyone's paper beyond the simple punctuation mistakes and awkward sentences. Time is short and you want to get in what you can in the alotted time frame. Also, I used to get a lot of slack back in high school for being too nitpicky when I'd review the work of my peers. But having read Straub's article, I realize that I'd be doing my fellow student a favor rather than a disservice by giving my best advice and response to his or her paper. I sometimes forget that this isn't high school anymore and that the grades we get here are much more important. I hope to bring all that I can to the upcoming reader response workshop now that I've read what Straub had to say.
