Reading 09

 

This week’s reading involved critically reading two of my peer’s work, commenting on them, providing feedback, and reviewing any feedback that I myself had received.

 

I found the task of reading my peers groupwork very beneficial. I was able to gain valuable knowledge of different chapter topics and gain an understanding of new topics relating to games and gaming.

 

Some feedback I was able to provide for my teammate’s where to change their style of writing, I found that when reviewing the text, they were written in the context of the first person. Based on what I have learnt thus far about academic writing and academic writing styles, I learnt that it is to be formal and that it should avoid personal opinions.

Some feedback I received for myself, were to break up long sentences into shorter ones and to ensure that each factual statement is referenced. I found this feedback very useful because I feel that as writer I can sometimes forget to include pauses and breaks between sentences. Moving forward I will be more aware of this and chose to structure my sentences better.
