Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today I read The Craft of Research | Chapter 14 (pp. 203-210) by Wayne Booth, Gregory Colomb, and Joseph Williams. In this chapter of the book the authors discuss how to effectively revise our research papers. The authors bring up the great point of how to think like a reader. They state that "readers do not read word by word, sentence by sentence, as if they were adding up beads on a string. They want to begin with a sense of the whole, its structure, and, most important, why they should read your report in the first place." I agree that rereading your paper from a different perspective can sometimes be the most important part of the revision process. It is easy to just look at each part of the essay piece by piece and forget to pay attention to the whole structire and flow of the research paper. I usually reread or just skim my essays at least 5 times once I 'finish' writing. Then once I realize I need revision I make the changes I have another reerad proceess until the final look over before submitting my paper. I am looking forward to apply what I learned in this chapter to my final draft of the research paper.
