Response to audio comments and tutoring

This was definitely the first time a teacher of mine has ever responded to my paper with an mp3 file; then again it was the first time I've ever had to write a symposium too. When I first listened to the audio responses I found some frustration with the fact that I couldn't ask questions or respond to some of the feedback I received. In order to do that though, I decided to meet with Frank after class to discuss some of the issues he had with my paper. That discussion opened my eyes more towards how I'm going to structure the revision of my symposium. Overall, I liked the idea of the mp3 response because it was unique and I got to listen to how the professors felt rather than read it.

When we did the peer review I thought it helped a lot because I got to work with Lizz. We had the same basic problems with our papers, so when we reviewed her paper first, I referenced both my paper and the feedback given to me for my paper. Even though Lizz and I used different scholars, we were able to identify that our main problem was we didn't reference Bruffee as much as we should have. While we both had Bruffee in the background of our paper, it ended up that Bruffee became more of a jumping point instead of the focus. The best part about the conversation was that we were both good writers and, we new the topic enough to just talk about our ideas instead of specific problems in the paper.
