During
ES1102 class, so far, I have written blog posts, reader response, and essay. ES1102
has been fun and dynamic. I believe being good writing takes time. Thus, I
enjoy the learning process in this class as it emphasizes on progress through
peer review and editing rather than result.
I
personally feel that now, I am more aware of grammar mistakes, syntax, and
phrasing when I write or when I read my classmates’ writings. This highlights
the benefits of peer review and editing in this module. Peer review allows me
to not only receive feedbacks but also give feedbacks to others. It is good to
receive feedbacks from others because I may not notice the errors in my
writings. Also, by giving feedbacks to my classmates, I become more conscious
of others’ mistakes and try not to repeat those mistakes when I write. Besides
peer review, editing process is also beneficial because I can reread my
writings and improve them. As I reread through them, I always find new things
to change / improve.
Though I enjoy my learning process and interactions in this module, sometimes I feel burdened because ES1102 carries 0 MC while having quite an intense workload. That being said, I still want to continue learning English and using it properly. This module has been useful to me and I hope my classmates feel the same.
