Something that I have learned from the drafting process within this course is that it is not something that is a quick task to accomplish. While drafting many of these essays, I have learned how much time and effort goes into crafting a well-written, academic essay, that conveys a meaningful message to your audience. I have also learned that when creating a checklist to track my progress, I tend to find many other aspects within my paper that need to be revised, or looked at again to receive accurate feedback. Drafting essays throughout this course has given me an improved approach to revising an essay. I identify weaknesses (and strengths), that I wouldn't have found before. It has taught me so many various skills about using resources and critical thinking. This long and strenuous drafting process has also taught me that it is okay to ask peers for help, and rely on their feedback, not to be afraid of all the "mistakes" made. Rather, it is just the beginning of the brainstorming process!

My analysis highlights that Family Vlog/Routine content has the lowest Like Ratio (1.96%) and Comment Ratio (0.46%). The bar chart's Y-axis is necessarily large to accommodate the high views of Special Events and Pranks. Does the visual impact of the Routine category bars (far right) clearly communicate that this content should be limited due to its extremely low normalized engagement metrics, or does its small size make it seem insignificant?

Having a good revision process will help me in future classes when I have to write big papers. I will be aware of how much time I need to set aside to revise and edit my papers. This will be helpful when planning a paper. I will also be aware of the best system for this. I have found that when I take breaks from revising and come back to my paper with a clear mind, I have new ideas and catch mistakes.

I think that taking the advice that has been given can not only improve my project revisions, but also my writing as a whole. They can help pinpoint issues in writing as an overall, and therefore overall improve writing for a specific audience. To add, I've never collected data and created a project analysis like in this class, so the feedback I receive in this class is feedback I will have never heard before. This can definitely help improve my writing in this class and in other classes overall.

How does your revising process look compared to mine?
