I believe I have shown the most improvement on “demonstrating the ability to approach writing as a recursive process that requires substantial revision of drafts for content, organization, and clarity (global revision), as well as editing and proofreading (local revision)”. I have been able to write with more flow and put together ideas as I am now less critical of myself during the rough draft process. I now know that my first draft does not need to be perfect and it is absolutely acceptable for there to be a lot of revisions that need to be made before the final draft.
I believe that I still need to work on “ being able to critique their own and others’ work by emphasizing global revision early in the writing process and local revision later in the process”. I am very critical of my own work and not super critical of others. I have gotten slightly better at this as I have been able to figure out that critiquing others’ work during peer review is not mean, it is helpful. But I do plan to continue to lean into this in order to make more meaningful edits to my own papers as well as my peers.
