QDJ 1, 3, 4 (WaW 608)
1. What was your impression of Murray's writing processes as they're described here? How do they compare to yours? What do you do the same or differently?
- Murray was very particular in the way he wrote. He would revise and check his paper over and over again. I, on the other hand, do not revise my paper which comes after I've written it. I edit and revise my paper as I go. I only read over my paper at the end. I never change anything at the end unless I have missed a significant mistake which normally doesn't happen because I check while I'm writing. It is a lot easier for me to change certain things about my paper as I'm writing it.

3. How did the study change Berkenkotter's understanding of writing processes, particularly planning and revision?
- Her study revealed that more time was needed to be put into what is normally put in for revising, at the end of a paper, and planning, which is before the paper like an outline. Every person has a different revising process and it can take thirty minutes or it can take two hours.

4. What problems with existing methods for studying writing process does Berkenkotter identify? If you read Perl, did you notice any of these problems in her methods? What do you think they might mean for Perl's findings? In what ways is Berkenkotter's newer approach to studying writing processes able to solve the weaknesses in other method's? Do any weaknesses remain?
- The time management of writing a paper. It specifically targets the revising and editing of the paper. Perl did point out significant problems with editing, and he says that a person may need to put more effort or time in on editing the paper, but many people won't follow this because they don't agree with that approach. Some people, like myself, don't take a lot of time out for editing because they do it as they are writing.
