Feedback

I just finished reading Professor Scott's feedback to my research proposal. First off, I think the layout of the feedback was really helpful. Instead of just a big long paragraph explaining my strengths and weaknesses, the comments on the side of what I wrote in the proposal pinpointed specific problem areas and strengths. I think that will be a great and helpful tool when it comes time to revise.

I also thought Professor Scott gave a nice balance of comments concerning what I did well and what could use some improvement. When I finished reading her comments, I was satisfied with the job I did and confident that I could sufficiently revise some problem areas. If the comments were too positive, I wouldn't know what to revise for the final portfolio. However, if the comments were all negative, I would feel like I didn't do a good enough job and be tempted to just try and write the whole thing over.

I also thought her comments were accurate. She agreed with me as to what area I thought could use some more work (project methodology). I will be sure to give that section extra revising for the final portfolio.
