When I was giving feedback, I definitely found it more challenging to come up with global edits rather than local edits, however it will hopefully be more beneficial to the writer. I’ve noticed that in using global edits, I’ve had to dig deeper in my comments than simply reading and correctly small errors in spelling or grammar. Global editing requires you not only to read the text, but interpret it and be able to find areas that the writer should expand on. Most of my edits were about expanding on the text and trying to incorporate more examples from Geary, Erard, and Khullar’s texts instead of just making a point and moving on. This I would find helpful if I were a writer, especially if my word count didn’t meet the expectations because it gives you the opportunity to expand upon thoughts rather than just simply making a simple spelling or grammatical correction. Global editing it appears can really do a nice job at turning a C paper into an A paper compared to the local edits which can just tidy up very small errors that might not even have an affect on your overall grade. It’s essential to get the deepest feedback that you can whether it be taking out words or expanding upon others. Nobody wants a short essay without background but at the same time, people don’t want to read a 10 page paper that rambles and reiterates the same ideas over and over again. Global editing allows you to find that happy medium on the right about of details in the essay by simply looking at sentences that should be added to and sentences that should be removed. In my revision, I tried my best to give detailed insights on where the writer could expands their thoughts and I was able to provide specific quotes for some of their points that they could add in.
