For this assignment , I chose to define the term \u201cKyphosis\u201d for a population who are unfamiliar with this term. \u00a0We were required to define our term in three different ways: parenthetical, sentence, and expanded definition. \u00a0While doing the assignment, I had to make sure that there were not any jargon and utilize proper words\u00a0for easy comprehension. \u00a0I carefully provided sufficient information so that readers would not have any questions when introduced to the term. \u00a0The biggest challenge was having to remember\u00a0that my audience may have never heard of the term\u00a0\u201cKyphosis\u201d. \u00a0Much of my experience with writing stems from lab reports and scientific papers, where I assumed that the\u00a0readers would have knowledge within the field. \u00a0Changing my mindset when writing\u00a0this paper gave me much insight on how others view my writing. \u00a0I now understand how\u00a0to write\u00a0an article\u00a0that they have no prior knowledge about, while supplying the right amount of information to ensure understanding. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n My peer review team member William Ting assisted me by analyzing my article and also providing a\u00a0well written definition of \u201cVenture Capital\u201d for me to critique. When reviewing William\u2019s writing, I made some suggestions on modifying his content so that they would be more relevant to his definition. \u00a0When writing the report on his definitions, I tried to be as critical about his work as I could while maintaining a high level of professionalism. \u00a0This was very challenging because I did not want to come across as offensive when making my critiques. \u00a0I found that providing\u00a0feedback in this format allowed me to be very systematic when looking over his writing and has taught me to be more efficient in my analysis. \u00a0The analysis not only benefited his work, but also helped me when I re-evaluated my work. My\u00a0perspective changed after looking at Will\u2019s definitions and allowed me to\u00a0see some of the flaws in my writing, some which are similar to the corrections I made in William’s\u00a0writing. \u00a0Making changes to my work from the peer reviews\u00a0made my writing better and critiquing other papers assisted me when I re-evaluated my paper.<\/p>\n The peer review on my definitions were extremely helpful and made me understand how people view my writing without prior knowledge to the topic. During my self editing, I provided some more relevant details about \u201cKyphosis\u201d so that people would be able to grasp the whole picture when reading my definitions. \u00a0I re-structured some of my paragraphs so that the sequence would flow better and transition smoother for better understanding. I re-did my citations and provided a capture for the visuals as well. \u00a0Overall, I felt that the feedback given to me and critiques I provided to Will strengthened my technical writing skills and shown me a deeper understanding of how to write to a specific audience.<\/span><\/p>\n Peer Review Assignment 1<\/a><\/p>\n Kyphosis Technical Definition Revised<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For this assignment , I chose to define the term \u201cKyphosis\u201d for a population who are unfamiliar with this term. \u00a0We were required to define our term in three different ways: parenthetical, sentence, and expanded definition. \u00a0While doing the assignment, … Continue reading
