Review of a Peer’s Response
One of my classmates has provided a detailed response on how he will respond to a question relating on conducting a research. The classmate has clearly stated what he will do before, during, and after completing an assignment. I like his response to the question because he has clearly stated the various steps he will undertake to complete an assignment. His response makes it easier for the reader to understand the necessary steps for completing an assignment in order to generate the most suitable findings or conclusions. As a result, his response has some positive things as well as things he does differently from me when completing an assignment. While the detailed response enables one to understand the various processes, there are certain things he should do differently in order to enhance his findings.
One of the positive things about the process provided by my classmate in completing a research is the balanced approach, which includes what to be done before, during, and after completing an assignment. His exploration of various issues prior to completing an assignment is positive since it enables him to select a topic of contemporary value. The consideration of research as a constant process is positive since it helps in exploring new aspects or dimensions of the topic that may not have been covered previously. Secondly, formulating the structure of the paper before writing it helps in integrating one’s thoughts and approach in completing the assignment or research.
Despite the positive things...
First, unlike me, he breaks up the writing process into different segments as he tackles each of them at different times. I usually like to complete the assignment without any break up because completing certain segments at different times makes it difficult to integrate all my thoughts about the topic. I find it difficult to continue writing if I take break ups between the writing process. Moreover, I consider the research process as one unit comprising of different segments that need to be completed at once. Therefore, by working on the research issue at once, I effectively combine my thoughts towards creating a cohesive paper. The second thing he does differently from me is proofreading, which he sets aside for a specific time. On the contrary, I usually do proofreading of the paper once I complete the assignment since it gives me an opportunity to look at the paper from a reader’s perspective and identify any spelling and/or grammar mistakes.
Even though the processes provided by this classmate are based on a balanced approach for completing a paper, there are some omissions that could have potential impacts on findings and conclusions. The student has failed to provide detailed information on how he will find information relating to the topic. A critical aspect towards completing an assignment is finding relevant and reliable information relating to the topic. While the student acknowledges the different kinds of datasets he requires for…
