Peer Review

This wasn't the first time I had my paper viewed and commented on by my peers or will be the last time.  I found that within my group they found my careless mistakes and help me improve my paper.

I learned that my grammar still has problems and when I type faster than my brain wants to work I make careless mistakes.  I found what my peers liked about my paper and what they didn't like.  They helped me improve my paper for the better.

I liked the fact that we were given time to discuss our papers with our peers this help me refine my target audience better since they were there giving me the inputs of what to improve on my paper.

The dislikes I didn't find anything to dislike about this peer review.

The struggle with this peer review is that I myself am not a great writer so I don't know if my inputs and comments on other people's paper is really worth anything.  I just read my peer's paper and commented on what I thought would be better but that is only my opinion hopefully I was just as helpful to them as they were to me.

  1. I am usually opinionated, but during this review process I learn a lot too!

  2. I think everyone still has those grammar problems and I'm pretty sure your comments were helpful.

  3. Even though they are an opinion it can help the writer out. It might be exactly at that point but it might make them think about something else.

  4. Being in your group, I can say that you should never discount yourself as a writer/commenter. I changed a good amount of things in my paper based off of questions you raised and things you commented on.
