Have you ever taken the time to revise old graded papers? I know i haven't, through reading How To Study the importance of revising old papers has been noted. Fry suggests going through old papers, finding the points of corrections and taking them into consideration to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Fry states that one should "check if the comments that are applicable for the paper you are writing...the more such comments the more extensive the "map" your teacher has given you for your next paper, showing you right where to "locate" your A" (67).Fry continues to explain how the previous papers are maps that point you to the right direction during current writing, going back and checking the papers gives a writer a chance to dodge the mistakes and improve while also using the positive comments to know what exceeds the standard and wind up with an A.
What are your tips on writing a good paper?
Spread out the work. Don't get overwhelmed by the WHOLE BIG assignment, work on it in chunks. Draft. Revise USING FEEDBACK received. I see so many times where the student misses points for something and their editors advised them to avoid the mistake throughout their drafts - they just didn't listen.
ReplyDeletei agree with you but i think the students who do not accept corrections (i have done this sometimes) think that their works are just fine as they are
