Critique plays an important part in the improvement of a person. Everyday when I teach in my class, I encourage my students to try because even if they give a wrong answer that means they are trying. In that way, they feel confident and invited. Similarly,in the case of doctoral journey positive criticism not only helps to move forward but also increases the confidence of the scholar. Critique not only gives you the ability to improve, but also helps to evolve. According to Caffarella and Barnett (2000), the critique process is the most influential element that helps Doctoral students. This critique process can contribute to our academic success in that it gives us the opportunity to correct any errors that exist. The feedback could be from a mentor or from peers. Peer reviewers can be other scholars in class, professional acquaintances, or someone that has already completed the dissertation process (Waldschmidt, 2018).

In the article, Teaching Doctoral Students to Become Scholarly Writers: the importance of giving and receiving critiques, Caffarella and Barnett (2000) take us through the process of the Scholarly Writing Project (SWP) and how critiquing/peer review is used to teach doctoral students academic writing. In the introduction of the article, Caffarella and Barnett (2000) indicate most universities have an assumption that graduate students know how to “write like scholars” (which many us maybe thought before we started as well), but of course, it most instances that is not true at all. One way we have all learned over the years is from critiquing, whether it is from learning “life skills” or academically from teachers and peers. Critiquing is an important part of learning as Caffarella and Barnett pointed out in their study, but often this style of learning leaves the student emotionally strained and left with skepticism that they are learning or doing anything right.
Waldschmidt (2018), indicates critiquing others work is important to the students work and can help in the process of article writing. The feedback is not meant to be taken as criticism, but really a mechanism in which to help enhance one’s writing and to strengthen the article itself. In the SWP study by Caffarella and Barnett (2000), critiquing of peer’s work was meant to be useful, but many students felt a sense of failure and often very emotional from feedback left on their work. At the end of the study, it was evident that critiquing was helpful in leading to an increased awareness of the students writing and confidence in the overall process.
If we could all write eloquently and know everything, there would be no need for furthering our education or need to move on from our currently situation in life. Criticism is not always easy to give or receive, but it is an often-necessary part of life.

One major difference between doctoral writing and other academic writings is authority. Authors at the doctoral level are expected to be an expert in their field of study. An expert or scholar has earned the ability, through firsthand research, to make declarative statements which can greatly impact their discipline. These declarative statements supported by concise and reliable evidence set the professional tone of doctoral writing. In contrast, other academic level writing is still based in theory that relies on second-hand accounts or analysis of outside data to make assumptions rather than declarations.
Beyond the presentation of reliable evidence, doctoral writing contains analysis and interpretations. This analysis enables the doctoral author to incorporate their professional voice within their writing. This presentation of independent conclusions and future implications separates doctoral writing from other academic level writings. Doctoral writing has real weight and could enact actual change within the world.
Once the doctoral level is reached, there is a certain level of confidence that is expected. Now that I am at the doctoral level and improving upon my own doctoral writing, I am learning to write with more confidence and independence so that my future audiences can trust my analysis and conclusions are viable and reliable. There is also great responsibility that lies with the decision of a dissertation topic. I hope to continually enhance my doctoral writing skills so that I can accurately interpret and distribute data that makes a positive impact on special education.
