Through engaging with the writing process, I have realized the effect of different types definition has on the readability of a document. I noticed writing parenthetical definitions is the most effective and practical for me. As per Andree’s advice, I have added more parenthetical definition on various jargon terms I included in the document. This allowed all reader to understand what the content is talking about.

Through engaging with the peer review process, I have realized it is nice to have someone read over my writing. It is easy for me look over jargon that I’ve used without realizing. I have also enjoyed the process in which my work was judged constructively, it is a nice feeling to have done a good job.

Through engaging in the self-editing process, I have learned the importance of revision. I did not realize the impact of improper choice of words (or more so my use of brackets in the assignment) have on the flow of the document. Leaving the document for a week and coming back with fresh eyes helped me picked up these sections more easily.
