Revising papers can tell the reviser a lot about the writer and their writing style. I have even noticed how revision has changed my writing. When writing a paper, I put more time and effort into all parts of the paper, even the introduction. Looking back at this semester I would have to say that I am just an average writer but I hope that my writing skills increase over time. While I’m just an average writer I have noticed that all of these revisions did help me to become better by knowing what kind of structure I should have in the paper, what kind of things I should say or shouldn’t say, and other various things of that nature. But peer revision is probably what helped me learn the most. Having someone else revise my paper gave me a chance to see how other people would have said or wrote about something that I would have never thought of. It is quite interesting to see. So to wrap all of this up, revising papers have helped me become better in various ways and I plan on furthering this in my future college career.
