Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Feedback In

I would rate the quality of my classmate's feedback as very good. They have been very supportive and positive in their comments, but also have some helpful criticism. The most useful comments are when they point out areas in my story that didn't make sense to them, or areas they think I can improve. This gives me a basis on which I can easily enhance my writing.

Feedback Out

I have very much enjoyed reading other's stories and leaving feedback as well. I use the same format most of the times I leave feedback, pointing out a lot of good aspects and then some areas I thought could improve. Reading others has given me a lot of inspiration in my own stories. So many of my classmates are very talented writers!

Blog Comments

My favorite comments to give are based on people's introductions! I love getting to know people finding similarities between us. Overall, I am very happy with how my introduction post and blog in general gives people a way to know a bit about me and comment.

Looking Forward

To make feedback more useful, both for me and my classmates, I think it would useful to see more specific comments. Some are vague and leave me not knowing which direction to take my writing, and I know some comments I have left could be more specific as well. That is something I will continue to work on to enhance other's writing the best I can

Introduction

All About Me Hey! My name is Katie and I am currently a senior at the University of Oklahoma. When people say time flies by in college, they aren't kidding!

I am currently studying biopsychology as a pre-medical student. I really enjoy sciences so I have enjoyed almost all of my classes I have takes throughout undergraduate so far. I spent the summer studying for the MCAT, and am currently in the process of applying to medical school! This semester I am excited for my classes, but anxious about how they will turn out with all of them online. However, it is important to be flexible, especially in a pandemic, so I am hoping to make the most of it! Besides academics, I love playing volleyball and doing other activities with my friends. My junior year I was the president of the OU Women's Club Volleyball team, and enjoyed traveling to ...

Week 9 Story: Finding Freedom

Finding Freedom An orphan from birth, Kang always felt like an outcast in his African village. He had no last name, and therefore no title. No girls wanted to marry him and no men wanted to be associated with him. Although he remained polite and respectful to everyone he met, he could feel his resentment towards the village people grow the more they neglected him. As he grew older, he began to have thoughts of leaving his village. A new life surrounded by all new people became more appealing as the days passed by. However, they were the only village within miles of any other human civilization, and in order to go to a new village he would need to venture days through the wilderness. He finally worked up enough nerve and left in the morning. Running away from the village- he never felt more free. It was as if he could run for hours without any pains or fears. Nightfall came and he found a large rock which to sleep by. He fell asleep peacefully but awoke to the sound of a lioness's ...
