Thinking about our workshopping and the essay writing process we used in this class, I find that it certainly helped. Throughout most of the academic career, whenever the professor assigned a paper and recommended writing one or two drafts, I never did so. I just wrote and handed whatever I managed to get on paper. However, I found that sharing the drafts with a group really helps to gain a new perspective on the assignment. It's especially helpful when the group is member of the actual class- giving my paper to any other close friend and you're more than likely only going to hear what you want to hear. But the feedback from actual classmates helps because we've already been considering the same themes and topics- so its a fresh perspective but from someone whom you sort of share the same or similar brainwave. In short, I really like the in-class workshopping.
