Revision and writing style

My writing style has remained the same throughout the last four papers: large block papragraphs with multiple small points rotating around a few larger ones, all of which are to bolster my paper's arguement. The sentences are long and wordy, but they get the point across in a clear, understandable manner. Plenty of puntuation is used, and the utmost professional manner has been integrated into the papers for academic integrity.

From the revisions in class, it seems the present style is appreciated, as it has recieved very little criticism. The points are clear and strong, and analytical above all else from the multiple sources used. One change, though, has been to make multiple smaller paragraphs rather than large blocks, for ease of the reader. I still view my writing style correct, and I move to clarify what one does not interpret offhand or becomes corrective about.

Revising, the papers of others, though, has exposed my writing new other styles and new ideas. It may be wise to construct sentences shorter, making them less lengthy and allowing room for more content. In addition, adding more parenthesis rather than commas/periods would be helpful. In critical writing, though, the point shares equal value to how it is expressed, so bluntness could hamper rather than help.
