The most revision I have ever done was for Dr. Ochola's Enlgish 102 class last semester. I had a teammate in there and all I wanted to do was get a better grade than him. Then there was the fact that she had been and is currently a Havard University proffesor and if I could impress her with my writing, I would feel as though it was a great accomplishment. Unfortunatley, I did not meet her requriments for the assigned writings that I revised, but the creative writing portion of the class was a success. The revision process was all about peer reviewing and taking what other people had said about my writing and seeing if I agreed with what they said. If I did agree I would take their suggestions, if not, and the student wasn't a reliable source to critic my writing, then I went to someone else. Then there were the things in class that she said that we should have in our papers. I took close notes to make sure I was going to have the best grade possible. After the notes I would look at all the aspect of my paper and see if the things she went over in class were in my paper as well. Not only make sure they were in my paper, but were in my paper and the way she wanted it to be there. It was the most work I have ever put into revising my works. Partly because I am competitve and also I wanted to feel like i had accomplished something as a student.
