How to revise a research paper based on professor feedback.

[Aseko]

My professor just returned our drafts with feedback. It's... a lot. There are comments everywhere. Some are big ("this argument needs more evidence"), some are medium ("reorganize this section"), and some are tiny ("comma splice").

I'm totally overwhelmed. I don't know where to start, and I'm worried I'm going to miss something important or just make things worse. Do I start with the big structural stuff or the little grammar fixes? If I move a whole paragraph, do I have to redo all the citations?

I need a revision strategy. Here's what I'm thinking, based on some Googling:

1. Step 1: Just read. Don't fix anything yet. Just read all the comments and let them sink in. Try not to get defensive. (Harder than it sounds.)
2. Step 2: Categorize. Go through and mark each comment as "big" (argument, structure, evidence) or "small" (grammar, wording, citation). Maybe use different colored highlighters.
3. Step 3: Big fixes first. Ignore the small stuff for now. If I need to add a new section or move things around, doing that first means I won't waste time perfecting sentences that might get deleted.
4. Step 4: Then, line edits. Once the structure is solid, go through and fix the grammar and wording.
5. Step 5: One last read. Print it out and read it aloud to catch anything I missed.

Does this order make sense? How do you handle feedback that you don't fully understand or disagree with? Do you just do what they say, or do you schedule a meeting to ask questions? I don't want to annoy my professor, but I also don't want to make changes that ruin my argument.
