1.Main idea sentence from week 2: Students engaged in postsecondary online education favor receiving explicit and comprehensive feedback accompanied by rubrics, tracked changes, and illustrative examples to enhance their writing abilities.
Preference for Detailed, Supportive Feedback: A significant number of survey participants strongly preferred detailed and supportive feedback, emphasizing its role in improving their skills. For instance, one participant highlighted the importance of receiving meaningful and instructive feedback to facilitate improvement, particularly when errors are made (Gredler, 2018).
Proximity of Comments: Many participants preferred proximal feedback, meaning comments should be located near the related text. This preference suggests that students value feedback directly connected to specific parts of their work, helping them understand and apply the feedback more effectively (Gredler, 2018).
Reflecting on the process of paraphrasing, I found it challenging to condense the detailed findings of the study into brief statements without losing the essence of the original text. Maintaining the original intent and meaning is important while simplifying the language and structure. One question arises: how do you best balance the need for being concise while capturing the depth of the original findings?

2.As I was carefully analyzing the article, I came across quantitative findings that aided me in crafting my main idea sentence for Week 2. One piece of evidence revealed that a staggering 92.4% of students involved in the study favored instructors incorporating corrections and comments in their feedback (Gredler, 2018). Additionally, another piece of evidence indicated that 82.8% of participants preferred online instructors to utilize grading rubrics that included feedback (Gredler, 2018).
Paraphrasing the evidence can be challenging, as it requires finding alternative ways to express the same idea while retaining the original meaning. One challenge that may arise is ensuring that the paraphrased text does not change the original meaning of the text.Another challenge is finding the right words and sentence structure to convey the same message differently. It is essential to avoid plagiarism by crediting the source and using appropriate citation methods. Paraphrasing requires careful attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the original text.
