Process

What I learned the most in my experiences from collegiate writing is the process. A formula in which to write effectively and efficiently is the goal. Collegiate writing has guided that formula. If writing was all about rolling with what you got then it would be dis-organized and not useful. For a process makes one truly remember and appreciate. I never really reviewed my work after it was graded, but now i do as I look back to see how it could get better, the never ending process of justifying the bottom line and learning from my mistakes. As the conventional wisdom is do not make the same mistake twice learn from your mistakes. That can never get done if one does not stick to the process of writing.

Peer review I feel was helpful, because it allowed a different mind set to read the paper. Which is needed in order to get real results from your work. I feel i could use a lot of time for review, as I tend to put a lot of information into my papers, and can have a tendency to overwhelm with mass sums of content. Someone else reading it can say its over bearing, and maybe it is best to just tone it down. A second reader will look at the essay from their view and find things that I cant see or understand. I am not trying to write for myself, if that were the case all my writing would be perfect, but I am writing for an audience that is far more demanding and complex then I will ever imagine.
