Draft Workshops, Revision, and Wasting Time

In class we have briefly discussed how feedback from peers can be helpful in preparing an assignment or it can be an exercise in futility.

In a 30 minute informal reflection blog, think about your writing process, how the draft workshop we completed in the class developed, and the movie clips we watched during class on Friday. What is your opinion of peer feedback? Do you rely on it? Why or why not? Do you dread it? How much revision do you generally do? Do you privilege feedback from instructors over that of peers? Your own "second look" at a draft over peer feedback? Why or why not?
Specifically discuss the quality of the feedback you got this time. How useful was it?

If you don't do much revision after your first draft, why not? Do you do more revision with papers than presentations? Why is that? More with individual assignments that group assignments?

Further, think about the feedback you give. Do you think you are helpful/harsh/invested in the draft of the individual's (or group's) work? Spend some of your time talking about what makes good feedback. You can engage with the film clips we watched if you like.
