Peer Review

I actually really enjoyed the peer review, coming from a class last semester where we just turned papers in without any peer review or rough drafts. I like the fact that I got the chance to allow one of my audiences (students) read, edit, and review my paper. The whole process went pretty well, we all switched papers, read each others paper, and gave comments and suggestions. I received some good advice on how to make last paragraph fit better into my entire essay. I was also advised to put an example of personal experience dealing with one of the issues a talked about in my paper. I think I also made some helpful contributions to my group members’ papers. Though I thought the peer review was helpful to me and my other group members, a big issue was time. I didn’t have enough time to analyze and make comments like I wanted. Another issue that didn’t work well with the peer review was the sheets we had to fill out with each paper. I was to busy trying to finish the worksheet that I didn’t spend enough time on the paper, which I believe should have been the main focus of peer review.
