Key Takeaways
Key Takeaways
- Revision is an essential part of the writing process
- The revision stage can be broken into two phases: big picture and smaller details or “high” and “low.” Both are important and can be approached systematically.
- The classroom is a community, a microcosm of the broader academic community and of the communities we are part of outside academic institutions. We can support each other by listening, practicing compassion and generously offering feedback to each other.
- Giving and receiving feedback is a skill that takes practice.
- There are other places and people you can go to for writing support: a writing tutor or writing centre, your family and friends, and your instructor and/or teaching assistant.
