It has been an exhilarating experience. I truly feel passionate about making a change in how <a href=\"http:\/\/starbucks.ca\">Starbucks Canada<\/a> operates. Even if the report fails to be conclusive or does not yield any support for the idea, I feel good to actually have a positive input to the company that I feel passionate about. As of now I am waiting for the green light from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/erikapaterson?authType=OUT_OF_NETWORK&amp;authToken=43jv&amp;locale=en_US&amp;srchid=5317180521480846519047&amp;srchindex=1&amp;srchtotal=4&amp;trk=cofc_people_res_name&amp;trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A5317180521480846519047%2CVSRPtargetId%3A42540565%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary%2CVSRPnm%3Afalse%2CauthType%3AOUT_OF_NETWORK\">Dr. Paterson<\/a> to approve of my research topic, I hope she agrees with me and I cannot wait to collect data to see if any significant amount of people are willing to come on board with the idea. Reflecting on my peer reviewer, I can tell he was happy with the ideas presented. Ajay was kind enough to suggest fixes for grammatical errors and the environmental factors I haven&#8217;t thought of. As I reviewed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ajay-brach?authType=OUT_OF_NETWORK&amp;authToken=u2OO&amp;locale=en_US&amp;srchid=5317180521480846548797&amp;srchindex=2&amp;srchtotal=4&amp;trk=cofc_people_res_name&amp;trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A5317180521480846548797%2CVSRPtargetId%3A65224895%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary%2CVSRPnm%3Afalse%2CauthType%3AOUT_OF_NETWORK\">Ajay&#8217;<\/a>s proposal, I learned that an in depth scope would help with the research part, as I have focused on what the company would like, rather than the impact that it may cause for the surrounding industry.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Peer Review of LinkedIn Profiles<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Finally, both my peer review of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jade-ronse-58236b128?authType=OUT_OF_NETWORK&amp;authToken=wG2s&amp;locale=en_US&amp;srchid=5317180521480846575308&amp;srchindex=4&amp;srchtotal=4&amp;trk=cofc_people_res_name&amp;trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A5317180521480846575308%2CVSRPtargetId%3A526423922%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary%2CVSRPnm%3Afalse%2CauthType%3AOUT_OF_NETWORK\">Jade<\/a>&#8216;s LinkedIn profile and Ajay&#8217;s proposal allowed me to revise the style I write it. I have been writing in a casual tone while I was out of school for a year and a half. I must retool my writing style that is suitable to academic writing. I was very impressed with Jade&#8217;s writing and Ajay&#8217;s ambitious proposal, it made me realize that I should really focus and work harder to keep up to their level of writing. Last, I feel that by having the peer review process, I have been a little more cautious about what I write and how I present the idea. It occurred to me that I have an impactful way of writing, that is not suitable for professional grade.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>DOC file of Revised Proposal with Peer Reviewer&#8217;s Input<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/syl24\/files\/2016\/10\/301-REVISED-Steven-Seungyup-Lee-Fomal-Report-Proposal.docx\">301-revised-steven-seungyup-lee-fomal-report-proposal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hyper Link to Peer Review of my Proposal<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/engl301.arts.ubc.ca\/2016\/10\/09\/peer-review-formal-report-proposal\/\">http:\/\/engl301.arts.ubc.ca\/2016\/10\/09\/peer-review-formal-report-proposal\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unit 2 Reflection Blog October 27, 2016 LinkedIn Reflecting on this week\u2019s assignments, I was taken by surprise how useful, intimidating, and sophisticated LinkedIn is.
