[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s be honest here.

What exactly did you look at in this process (EA/ED/REA)?
Did you edit? 
Directly revise? 
Or just take over entirely?

What’s next?[/quote]

Honestly? I revised directly in google docs. [/quote]

Same. DD was sitting next to me as we talked through the edits. I’m just much better at making the cuts to get the word count down. It was definitely collaborative.

Wow. Sounds like you should be at least a co-applicant. You should not be typing in google docs or writing.

For mine, I gave feedback w/ Google docs comments. We also chatted about problem spots or paring essays down, but she came up w/ syntax for problem spots. I identified spots that I wasn't sure worked -- syntax, tense, boring wordiness etc. Or, I'd ask something like -- you say this, but the context indicates you're heading here. Where are you going? Or, do you really like Sartre? What teen really likes Sartre? -- you need to sell that or qualify it unless you want to sound pretentious or like your parent wrote it! My suggestions were things like maybe using parentheses here, or saying that one sentence was really effective and maybe lead w/ that.

It should be coaching/feedback. Not editing/writing.

NP. Reading these it sounds like you both did the same thing. She "talked" you "chatted." You both helped in the exact same way, who cares who actually typed the edits. [/quote]

Nope. I didn't tell her what to say or directly impact the essay. You extrapolated "chatted" to mean dictated in my case and the opposite for the other poster. Try to justify this as you might.[/quote]
