my methods organization was unclear, which I attempted to fix in my final proposal, by explaining the
methods rationale (SLO 6). Overall, I learned peer reviewing is a vital aspect in writing.
The purpose of the final draft is to show my improvement as a scientific writer. After looking
over the peer reviews and comments from the original proposal, I printed out my proposal and edited my
sentences to persuade my readers concisely and effectively. For example, I removed the verb, show,
from the sentence stating BDNF levels show to decrease, and used the vigorous verb, decrease, as the
primary verb of that sentence (SLO 5). This replacement removed two words and strengthened my
sentence. I also fixed the bibliography to prove that I learned how to properly cite in a formal paper.
Lastly, I want to conclude with this cover letter, which exemplifies my writing skills. Even
though there still may be some grammatical errors, I understand how to recognize them and hope that
someday my writing will be error free. Overall, this letters purpose is to summarize my improvement as
a scientific writer and I believe that I thoroughly expressed these skills, as well as showed the path I took
to reach this point.
Sincerely,
Aneta Jelowicki
