1. Who edited your draft?
Clay and Breanna peer edited my draft (shout out to them for braving that battlefield).
2. How do you feel about the feedback you got? What helped, or was confusing?
Of course, any feedback and outside perspective are greatly appreciated, but what really helped is having specific areas to focus on, in terms of the structure, more than just simple rewording suggestions and other things of that sort. This helps the actual message instead of just the delivery (though that's important, too, but it doesn't require outside help as much). As for what was helpful, it pretty much all was, though the "audience" section is a bit confusing. I couldn't quite figure out how to judge the effectiveness of the argument on the audience specifically beyond if the argument was strong, but that was the main point of another section.
3.What aspects need the most work for the final draft?
I could probably work on every aspect (and I'm going to, of course) but the audience section and genre section should be my main focus. I just felt that they were a bit lacking. As a part of that, I will also restructure it to flow more, as I felt a bit directionless while writing, so having some time away from it and coming back should fix that.
4. How are you feeling overall about the direction of project 3?
I'm feeling like I can do this. At first I thought that an op-ed would be too short, or it would have to be too dense with vital things to say that I wouldn't be able to manage, but the peer reviews gave me hope that I will be able to manage it.
