When discussing "flow" of a paper, I had a very
hard time grasping the concept. I understood
when a paper didn't "flow" well, but I had hard time pinpointing
exactly how I could improve the "flow" of a paper. Sometimes, I find
myself more concerned with transitioning between paragraphs and making the
paper seem seamless rather than arguing
my point. I think Prendergrast's
suggestions are helpful because I struggle with this process and I have a
better understanding of the concept.
During the workshop we didn't discuss style directly, but a
lot of the critiques made by my peers were indeed on matters of style. I realize that credibility as an author is defined
by avoiding grammatical and spelling errors but style is what makes
an article interesting. I do believe the workshop has helped me improve my
style, because having my peers read my arguments gives me great insight on how relatable
and interesting my paper is.
I agree with your statement about concerns over transitions between paragraphs. I really liked her blog on "flow." It helped me and I'm glad it helped you too :)
