In this post, I will peer review the content of Gabby Dietrich's editorial report.
Looking at the changes she made, I like that she combined several ideas to make the entire script more connected. I also think that using a science project as an example of procrastination was a smart move.
Since Gabby is working with a QRG, I suggest including photos of her "to do" lists or maybe past projects. Just an idea. Also, I would make sure the content of the QRG is short and to the point because that is a crucial convention of the genre.

Editorial Report 15b
In this post, I will provide an edited and revised part of my script for my podcast.
Rough Cut:

Rough Cut:
As project 2 came around, I was incredibly motivated to get
an A on this one to save my grade from the last project. After reading the
major project assignment document, I found project 2 to be rather interesting. I decided to get
a head start and email a few physiology professors about interviews. After
anxiously waiting for days, I got only denied responses about meeting. I
started to stress out after the 8th professor emailed me back saying
now was not a good time for interviews. So I was already behind with this project
due to the delayed responses of professors.
When I did go to my interviews
I was really nervous because I had never been the one interviewing I was always
the one interviewed. This was definitely a new situation that I had to adapt
to. Once I finally got my interviews done, I made sure to put all my energy
into making a flawless QRG. I researched all the genre conventions as well as
the project requirements. I felt much more confident turning this assignment in
and when I got my grade back I was ecstatic. I put a lot more time into this
project and learned how to adapt to a completely new situation.

Critical thinking and composing is incredibly important and will only become
more important as I grow older. I will need to know how to speak to others professionally
or in a way that fits whatever situation I am in. I also loved the idea that
this one was focused on talking to professionals in my field.

due to the delayed responses of professors. This was probably the most
difficult part of the project because the physiology professors that finally
replied to me willing to be interviewed had offices off campus in the heath
building. So I had to find means of transportation.

Answers to Audience Questions:
Again, after listening to my first rough cut, I concluded that it was not detailed enough. Therefore, i decided to make each section of my podcast more detailed.
This only changed the form of my podcast by making it longer.
Editorial Report
In this post, I will talk about how the content of my script changed.

Rough Cut:
Our first project, the rhetorical awareness one, I decided
to do a college essay because my logic was.. obviously I know how to write a
college essay, this will be SO easy and not that time consuming. So I
pushed off all my blog posts until Sunday night. I soon learned this is the
most ineffective way to do blog posts. I had no idea how time consuming they
really were. At first, I thought I could just bullshit my way through them, but
I realized that these blog posts are actually crucial for my project! That was
my very first epiphany of the semester for this course.
I was wrong. My
first project grade was a rude awakening. I went into sean’s office hours and
reviewed my project 1 with him, which is when I learned the actual purpose of
the project. Because I had done this project so quickly, I didn’t research
enough and I picked a very broad topic to focus on. That was my first and major
mistake. To sum it all up, Project 1 taught me the meaning of time management
skills, I realized that this course is just as crucial and time consuming as my
chemistry course. I also learned that detailed and close research is very
important.
Revised Cut:
For first project, the rhetorical awareness one, I decided

college essay, this will be SO easy and not that time consuming. Time was of
the essence that week because I had my first chemistry exam coming around. So I
pushed off all my blog posts until Sunday night. I soon learned this is the

really were. At first, I thought I could just bullshit my way through them, but
I realized that these blog posts are actually crucial for my project! That was
my very first epiphany of the semester for this course.
Additionally, I simply skimmed over the major project
assignment sheet that included everything there is to know about the project. I
basically thought that because I was writing a college essay, I could just whip
one out the night before the due date and I already knew what I was doing
because Ive written countless college essays in my time.

Answers to Audience Questions:
I changed the content by making it longer and more detailed. This provided more insight on project one.
The form didn't really change, other than my podcast now being a longer duration.

Open Post to Peer Reviewers
In this post, I will provide a rough cut of my podcast.
The rough cut can be found here.
For this project, I decided to do a podcast. First of all, I wasn't really sure how to make my podcast interesting to the audience so I included little cuts of a song in the beginning, middle, and end of my podcast. I'm happy with my content because I've said everything about my experiences in this course. Let me know if anything needs to be changed! :)

Peer Review for Ben Macklin
In this post, I will peer review Ben Macklin's content outline and make a brainstorming suggestion.
I think Ben's outline definitely proves that he understands the project 4 assignment. He talks about his past writing experiences and how his skills have grown throughout the semester.
Considering that this is an outline, there is not much detail and development. But I think Ben is off to a great start, he just needs to include specific examples of what he talks about.
I think Ben should talk about how his skills will help him in the future and how he had benefitted from this course.

For this project, I will be doing a Podcast. Therefore, I tried to keep my body section very descriptive to keep the audience engaged. I also did not want to make it too long so I would not lose my audience's attention.
