When I sat down to start my revision I had no idea where to start. At the conferences, I had taken many notes about what I should fix but I just couldn't find anywhere to start. I decided to read over my old papers and see if there was any information I could pull from there. I found sentances and other topics I could bring up in those papers and I highlighted them and then read over my reseach paper again to see where they could go. I also looked for more quotes to back up my thoughts. Also during conferences many found my paper to be very factual and not enough opinion so I tried to throw some more of my thoughts into it.
Doing face-to-face conferences helped me a lot more than online blogging revision. It allowed me to ask feed back and really understand what my readers were trying to say. At first I thought it wasn't going to be that helpful. I really didn't know what we were going to talk about for an hour, but it ended up going by fast and everyone got feedback one their papers.
One thing I took out of the conference and really tried to use in my revision was more information from the course sources. I only had very little info that I pulled from teh sources originally and hopefully now I have used more. I also went back into my old work to pull stuff out of there to help introduce ideas and make them stronger.
