Unit 1 required us to compose introductory communications, as well as a definitions assignment. The definitions assignment requires us to take a technical term and create a situation wherein we would be required to construct a set of definitions for an intended audience.<\/p>\n
Definitions Assignment:<\/u><\/p>\n
In creating an idea for my definitions assignment, I struggled to select a technical term that would not be to abstract yet would also require a significant amount of explanation to fully explain the concept. I found that using \u201cshot distance\u201d from my experiences in film production was sufficient for this and found it fitted well with the purpose of the assignment.<\/p>\n
Peer Review<\/u><\/p>\n
I found that following the guidelines for the peer review provided a thorough and effective means of constructively providing feedback on the work of my classmate. By using this guideline to review Brionne\u2019s work, I found that I was far more adept at providing feedback than I had expected. Brionne chose to define \u201cFrontotemporal Dementia\u201d and I provided feedback concerning the organisational structure of the report. The biggest takeaway for me in this peer review opportunity was how I could specifically address the purpose and fallings of specific elements of the writing.<\/p>\n
Definitions Assignment Revision:<\/u><\/p>\n
I am typically hesitant to incorporate the suggestions of peers, as I often feel content with my finalised work. However, I adopted the suggestions of my classmate, Brionne and corrected issues in my work that were grammatical, structural and aesthetic failings. I realised that listening to the suggestions offered by increased both the visual and professional appearance of my work.<\/p>\n
