Lit Review: Final Draft w/ Commentary

Commentary:

Teddy, You’ve added some transitions and reordered information that make it significantly easier to follow your discussion here, but at other points, you’re missing opportunities to connect paragraphs and sections to one another and to your larger main idea. On the latter issue, I think that your introduction offers too much specific information and misses an opportunity to clearly, concisely state your main idea. Your source introductions have gotten more specific, but you’re still not always honing in on why a particular article or writer is credible for the audience. It’s not enough to know who the author is; I want to know why I should trust that person’s information or opinion. Finally, your conclusion seems slight given the amount of information you cover in your paper.

Lit Review: Conference Draft w/ Commentary

Conference Draft: Free Music Streaming

Commentary:

Teddy, I think the most pressing place for you to begin your revision is with organization: I’m not sure the paragraphs make sense in this order. Consider creating a reverse outline in which you describe the purpose or main idea of each paragraph. Once you’ve done that, re-order your paragraphs so that connected ideas follow one another.

*Reordering the paragraphs
*Transitional sentences that connect paragraphs
*Introducing sources so the reader understands why those are credible sources

Lit Review: Revision Plan

“Literature Review Revision Plan – Teddy Ni

I plan on adding further details to certain parts of my essay, as some parts jump to conclusions that the reader can’t follow easily. In addition, I will add more sources that are more opinionated, as currently my sources are more informative than opinionated. Comments made my Jason and Patrick particularly pointed out that more details and more in-depth analysis of the sources could be extremely helpful for the reader. Finally, I will make some small changes, like editing the conclusion to make it more argumentative and less of a summary.”
