Revisions at the macro level--overall structure and flow of argument, evidence to support argument, addressing counter arguments, etc.
Revisions at the micro level--grammar, spelling, placement and format of topic sentences within paragraphs, etc.
Revision is an iterative process; each draft or revision leads to a better end product.
Research is a communal process--you find your voice within the research community, you respond to other voices, other voices respond to you.
Importance of ethics in research--representing the work of others fairly; expectation that your work will be represented fairly; giving and receiving constructive feedback; access and copyright issues.
