In order to write the essay on Nye, I had to go through Technology Matters and find sources that I thought helped prove Nye ideas. I used Player Piano by Vonnegut and Technology: The Emergence of a Hazardous Concept by Leo Marx.
I think that the online peer editing was more helpful last time around. More people commented on my paper last time so I had different insight and ideas to take into account to improve my paper. But the comments left this time were still helpful. I find peer editing useful because the comments left on my paper usually have positives and negatives. I am told what to keep, what to expand on, and what to change. This is helpful because it shows if the reader understands the point I am trying to get across in my paper.
Writing this paper helped me understand how important using sources are. They help the writer prove the points they are trying to make and if the writer uses the sources to explain their ideas well then the reader will be able to understand more.
It is sometimes hard to find reliable sources that help get the writers ideas across. This is one thing that I think is going to be challenging when I am my research paper.
