Peer Review for Eren Arbac

I reviewed Eren Arbac's content outline that I think can be found here. I left him a pretty specific outlining recommendation concerning his first body section.


In the outline, he seemed a little repetitive and restated the idea he had instead of explaining it, and I wanted to make sure he would be really specific and clear and provide a good explanation in the actual project. I think my recommendation definitely helps him because while it's easier to get detailed and dig into the specifics when talking about yourself, I still think having a clear idea from get-go will help. And as it stands I can't find that from his outline.


According to the Course Final Assignment Sheet, it seems we are encouraged to get specific about whatever components of our writing process we want to, but it seems that we have to focus on something and really explain it. I think my recommendation will help with him final product in achieving this goal.


I was a fan of the way he wanted to focus on how his writing improved and gear his evidence in order to support that, rather than just talk about what happened this semester on the surface. The fact that he wants to talk about how he grew as a writer more than just what his process is, that was inspiring and I'm definitely going to try to think of some way to put a spin on my project that makes the topic more important like Eren did.

Production Schedule for the Course Final

I made a schedule that is meant to keep me on track with this project. It's not incredibly detailed but that's because I'm doing all of my filming tomorrow so I didn't break it down to the hours and minutes when it will be done because I don't even know what I'm eating for breakfast or wearing tomorrow so how could I possibly be that prepared. I'm not about that life. But I did try to design this in a way that will be useful for me, so if you wanna check it out you'll click here.

Content Outline for the Course Final

Iiiiiiii've got a content outline for ya! Hopefully focusing on my inability to do process work will fill out enough for my video essay. If you wanna sneak a peek, you'd find my outline here.

Reflection on Post Production II And Also The Project In General

Project's in on time, blog work is just about done, and I'm chillin like a villain feeling pretty good but kinda self doubting due to peer review but trying to convince myself that it was all good and I shouldn't feel like I want to cry because I'm so stressed

• Things that went right include: finishing a fairly decent 7-page paper about transgender bathroom bills through detailed editing and praying to gods in which I don't believe, catching up on the peer review that I was behind on, and I think truly managing to produce something I'm proud of.
• The worst part about this round of work for me was peer review. Where I normally get reviews with a few suggestions, this time around I got reviews that really tore my paper apart. I actually got really discouraged because of it. I had a peer advise that I remove the solution I proposed because it seemed to come out of no where and didn't really make sense and that my argument would be stronger if I just critiqued the solution at hand, but then I had another review later tell me I should come up with my own solution to the problem and that would help me sound better. This was really obnoxious because a person can only change what they have at the advice of someone else so many times. When people's opinions conflict, what am I supposed to do? I also just had a lot of "you shouldn't say this" "I wouldn't say it this way" and things like that which is useful a week ago but only caused panic as I received that review today. A major overhaul of my paper was recommended with only hours to spare. I ended up not abiding by most of those suggestions due to time constraints and my own personal stubbornness and opinion that my argument was fine, but i'm reeeeeeeeally having some doubts now. But I guess it's too late to worry. I just think peer review that occurs in week 4 is useless since people don't do it until late in the week when it's too late for the author to apply the review. Sorry this was so long, I just have a lot of feelings.
• New week, new project so this week's evidence doesn't really imply anything about next week. But I'm hoping for the best!
• Like I said, I was feeling good until I got conflicting and negative peer review on the last day of the project. I know I picked a hard topic but I really do think I argued it well, despite my critical peer review. It's just hard to be confident when people are tearing you down. Whatever though. My project was awesome.
