Reflection on task 2 Draft
The draft and the peer review was really helpful in the sense that it gave me some sort of guidelines of how well I was doing and where I could improve. Having looked at some of my peers work and websites and comparing their work to mine helped me evaluate my work.
I reviewed a colleague’s website by the name of Sahara. Sahara had a very well structured website. Her layout for each task and reflections emphasised her statements as a hard working student as it was very evident with the well presented blog/website. I gave Sahara a positive review and rightfully so. It was also a great and unique experience, being placed in the tutors’ shoes as we evaluated other students work.
A fellow student and friend Claire, who is also doing the same unit was nice enough to email me her work for evaluation. Claire has a very unique style of writing and by doing English as a major it is no wonder why. Being a typical girl, her website stereotypically was very pretty and well structured. She was very up to date with her work as all blog posts were done after lectures and tutorials and hence why all major aspects of each topic were covered. However Claire could improve her website by including more images. I noticed that was the only thing that the blogs lacked. Overall her website was very well presented and some great opinions and strong points were discussed in her blog posts.
This task was one of the greater assignments I have done in uni. It was great to give and receive constructive criticism from fellow peers. It was very interesting to see what we had to say about each others’ work and explore one another’s opinions. I also see this part of the assignment as the definition of authentic task and authentic learning. Most of the learning was conducted by the students and the tutors were more or less there for guidance.
