“Enhance strategies for reading, drafting, revising, editing, and self-assessment” – This course learning outcome was especially prevalent throughout the entire semester. When writing a research paper you’ll have to comb through a fair few documents. Reading and analyzing a document is important because it helps you pick out useful information . While reading you can find important information (as mentioned before), helps you cite sources properly by finding information needed in APA 7 citation, and it helps you determine reliable sources. 

When first writing your paper, drafting is needed to keep your ideas in order so as to not confuse them with another thought or idea. After the drafting process revising and editing takes place to help make your paper grammatically correct and to help it sound like it makes sense. This is all part of the normal writing process to make sure your readers don’t get confused and take in the information. You may not like how your paper sounds and looks at first but after editing and revising you could tweak it to your likings more. During the semester there would be multiple peer review sessions where our peers would help each other by critiquing each team’s project drafts and assignments (see figure 1).

After the process mentioned above, self-assessment is where a person would evaluate their final work and see how good it really is. As a student you had to set your personal bias for your work aside and judge it critically.
