outline for critical relflection

The role of peer and tutor feedback.
What happened? Describe the experience
I wrote a reader response essay. I received both formal and informal comments on my writing blog. Apart from that, I had to comment on my group mate’s blog post too. This is something that I have not experienced in a while. I had my reservations and was very conscious when giving my feedback.

Why/ how did it happen? What factors contributed? How do you feel about it?
I had quite a few grammatical and format errors and there were certain unclear sentences. At times, my expression of certain ideas will be misunderstood.
I am personally one who do not like to re- read my essay. I felt uncomfortable on the thought that my peers are going to give feedback on what I wrote. 
What is your new interpretation of the experience? What is the significance?
This experience is somewhat like a reality check for me. In the past, I did not like peer feedback. However, this will help to improve my language and that is the purpose.
What did you learn about yourself and the others?
I learnt that everyone makes mistakes and this is something that can be avoided by re- reading your essay. I am one who is able to provide content but often, my points are not phrased properly and this affects reader’s understanding on my
It is easy to spot other people’s mistake. In order to improve, we have to be frank
What will you do as a result of this experience? How will you use it to inform your future?
I am more conscious when I write my essay now. I will re-read what I have wrote to check the flow of my essay. Also, I will check on my grammar in the essay.
When writing my essays now, i will always think about it as an academic writing. I will also make a conscious effort to avoid using 1st person
