Literature Review with Kymani and Rosalio.

First Draft of our literature review. Part distribution and finding sources.

Group 1’s peer review for our group.


Navigating the group assignment on severe weather literature review—encompassing hurricanes, floods, and droughts—presented significant challenges and learning opportunities. As a team, we negotiated writing goals by aligning our focus on various aspects such as economics, public health, agriculture, and human impact, catering to diverse audience expectations within scientific discourse.

Engaging in collaborative writing processes was crucial goal online constraints, where coordinating submissions and providing timely feedback posed logistical hardships. However, through consistent communication via group chat, we established effective strategies to synchronize efforts and enhance cohesion in our work.

By integrating diverse sources from CCNY library resources, we bolstered the depth and credibility of our literature review. Strengthening source use practices—evaluating, integrating, quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, synthesizing, analyzing, and citing sources—ensured the scholarly rigor and integrity of our findings.

Overall, this assignment strengthened my skills in collaborative writing, genre analysis, and sourcing, emphasizing adaptability in online environments. It underscored the importance of effective communication and teamwork in producing comprehensive scholarly work on complex topics like severe weather impacts.
