I felt that prioritizing global edits over local edits was definitely a more complicated task. This is because you are taking in account a majority of the essay and attempting to revise it. Rather than a few here and there grammar errors. You are attempting to look at the context as a big picture and not small increments of it. Although it was challenging at most times it was also a great experience. This is because it was a great way to reach out and have a chance to see other people’s work on your specific prompt, and not only yours. I was able to branch out my opinions as an overall point of view and decided to apply this method to my paper and was very satisfied with the results. Another reason why I enjoyed global edits was because it gave me a chance to see what different paths were all chose to answer the prompt. I felt that it inspired me to work with different arguments throughout my paper. So not only did it allow me to get experience in reviewing other peoples work but encouraged me to elaborate more on my own work. This was an overall great experience and I believe I have gained many strengths with this exercise and hopefully helped out my peers by giving them supportive advice on their work.
