Editorial Report 15b

Audience Questions

How did the content change? How is this better?

This is the same thing as last post. However instead of expanding on the Virginia essay I will be expanding on the QRG example that helped my QRG. This will make it easier for people to understand how peer editing helped me build a stronger project.

How did the form change? How is this better?

Like in the previous post the form is still the same except there is now audio behind the visuals. This is better because audio keeps the audience listening.


Original Text

Now what helped me a lot when I was stressed out on a project is peer review. I can confidently say without peer review all of my projects would have ended terribly. What helped most about peer reviewing is when I looked at someone else’s project and saw things that I liked that I could incorporate in my own project. Yea, the peer review comments I received usually gave me good suggestions; but it was much more helpful seeing someone else’s project and how they chose to incorporate their ideas.  Quite a few times I copied styles/ideas/form that I liked from my peer’s project and put it into my own.

What I would often do is go to course directory, select a section, and then look for peers that are doing the same genre I am or have done the genre I am doing. So, in this case, I saw that Emily Bond did a QRG and when I looked at hers I noticed that she decided to bold important words and sentences. This reminded me that a QRG should be as visually appealing as possible and also direct your reader to important information quickly. So I then decided to bold important words and sentences in mine.
