Which strategy should Mariam choose?, Cognitive Strategy: Mariam accepts the feedback as a stylistic convention of English discourse rather than a personal flaw. She asks the professor for examples, takes notes, and uses an academic phrase bank to consciously restructure her paragraphs into a more direct, thesis driven format., Affective Strategy: Mariam feels defensive and misunderstood. She thinks the professor does not appreciate a sophisticated, descriptive writing style. She makes only minimal grammar corrections to the draft, and hope that her strong vocabulary will carry her through.
