    Ashley Borja commented on the post, Discussion #5

    I agree, for this course jumping into the final version is never a good idea. Doing research is always good and creating a thorough outline will help your writing flow. Sometimes when you don’t outline an essay, […]

    This is very relatable. I struggle with the same editing habits. I wish I could write it all out and edit at the end. But, I always edit as I write and it takes more time. Your response was very real, sometimes we […]

    It wasn’t until recently that I felt comfortable with the way I write. For schoolwork, I ideally spend 10-15 minutes planning out the assignment. Before I start any writing, I look at the rubric and […]

    The grammar was good– there were little errors here and there but overall it was well-written. The essay had a unique title and was eyecatching. I feel like since this is a topic that is so widely discussed, the […]

    I agree the conclusion was well written and added thought-provoking questions. I do believe there was more to be said about this question– I felt like there was information missing from the essay.

    I chose to review How Individual Upbringing Affects Young Adult Romantic Relationships published by Chardell’s Chronicles in Fall 2019. The author of the article made good use of their sources and organized the […]

    I gave a similar grading to this essay– I agree that the conclusion could have been better. Maybe the author should have incorporated more of how they felt as an outsider.

    I agree that this essay needed a better analysis. The author could have included better details about the community within the essay. The work lacked significant evidence and analysis.

    I chose to evaluate, “Who are the Flat Earthers” and gave it a rating of 79%. The author provided essential details– like the communities vernacular within the essay. Terms such as “globalist” play a huge part in […]

    I like how you mentioned the danger that the community poses to women. It is unrecognizable from its origin of being a “social justice warrior community”.

    I like how you incorporated multiple quotes from the excerpt to your reading response. I think that those statistics that you gave really fit in well with the information you were trying to convey– and got the point across.

    Excerpt from “Our Incel Problem” by Zack Beauchamp gave insight into the Incel online community. Incel– a shortened term for the involuntary celibacy is a name given to those going through “romantic troubles”. […]

    Great job on listing all of your privileges and explaining why it will help you gain perspective. It might be challenging as an insider to the community to step out but I liked how you thought it would be interesting to do!

    I thought your choice of an online community is a really good choice– considering the current political climate and the discussions happening. The number of conversations occurring will definitely help your research.
