Definition of Peer Editing

Peer editing is defined as the use of learners as the source of information. In peer editing, the students or learners would take the role of the teacher or tutor in order to check and to comment on a piece of work produced by another student or learner. These individuals would make comments orally or in writing about the work of their peers. This considered to be similar to peer review, peer feedback or peer response.

Benefits of Peer Editing in Teaching andLearning of Writing.

In most university courses which aim at enhancing students' writing skills, the students are trained on either functional or academic writing. For ESP courses, they learn about language points and how to organize ideas to fit the format of writing such as writing business and social letters and reports. For academic writing, they mainly gain practice on language points which include grammar, structure which is related to the type of writing and organizing ideas for paragraph and essay writing. Limited time causes less time for training students to be used to writing as a slow process. To help each learner to learn to write, it is essential to train them to be familiar to writing as a process so as to be more aware of not only 'what' to write but also 'how' to write. In such case, they learn to follow the steps of pre–writing, while writing and also post writing. Repetition of this practice in class will make peer editing a step of writing which is familiar to Get

Introduction

Genome editing is a huge leap forward in science and medicine. Because of recent advances in technology, the study of genes and induced 'point' mutations have led to the discovery and advancement of methods previously used in order to mutate genes. The development of Clusters of Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPRs) and CRISPR associated system 9 protein (Cas9) technology is a hugely significant leap forward as this is a tool that could potentially be used for the research into and hopefully the treatment of a range of medical conditions that are genetically related. Cystic fibrosis (Schwank, G. et al, 2013), haemophilia and sickle cell disease are an example of some of the conditions that have the...show more content...

Once the complex was bound to the DNA, a cut would be made to eliminate and destroy the invaders. 83% of archaeal genomes and 45% of bacterial genomes (Shabbir, M. et al, 2016) were shown to be able to successfully utilize the CRISPR Cas9 system. These are very promising statistics, so it is no wonder that there has been such an advancement in the past few years to bring this technology to eukaryotic cells, mammalian cells and eventually human cells.

With the rate and volume that new experiments and experimental procedures are being tried and tested, it can be expected that a Nobel Prize will soon be won for the discovery and advancement of this potential life–saving 'tool'. The category of Nobel Prize and who it potentially should be awarded to are discussed later in this essay.

The Role of CRISPR/Cas9 as a Genome Editing Tool

There are three types of CRISPR systems. The Type II CRISPR system (where the interface is mediated by a single large protein in conjunction with crRNA) is the simplest of the three and it is this one that has been the basis for genome editing.

The Cas9 protein is an enzyme that effectively acts as a pair of molecular 'scissors', cutting Get

There are hundreds of different jobs in the television and film industry that exist today. Many people are needed to create a film or video, some people have very small parts in making the film while others have very large and important parts. Video editors hold a very important job in creating a finished afilm or video. By sorting through footage, picking effective scenes, and sequencing the scenes in an effective manner; the video editor helps to create a well done final product.

Job Description

Anywhere from websites, commercials, television shows, to Hollywood movies; video editors, who are also called film editors, are needed.

When a film is being made, tons of "raw footage" ("Complete the Illusion with a Video Editing...show more content...

You need to learn these techniques and the correct way of going about editing the film before starting this career.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE Before making your way into a video editing career, you need the proper education and experience. A high school diploma is a must because it is required at most all editing jobs. While a college degree is preferred, because it is a requirement at most jobs. "Most studios will not consider people for film or television editor positions without a bachelor's degree or several years of on the job experience" (Morkes 62). With this in mind, it would definitely benefit you to get your bachelor's degree and take multiple film courses having to do with film such as film production, film appreciation, film production techniques, film shooting, and film processing (Reed 63). Taking courses such as these will expose you to the film industry and help you to better understand the film making process. Some techniques you will learn are some such as splicing, cutting and assembling. Already acquiring some basic skills will help you to land a small job to get started in your career. A lot of studios and companies require previous experience, so it would be in your best interest to start as an apprentice or intern to gain experience and show interest in the job. Becoming an apprentice to a video editor will expose you to what it is like on the job and you will get real world experience and a look into what you could eventually
