"Peer Review"

The peer review in class on Monday was extremely helpful. It is always an advantage to any writer to have their work read and criticized so that they know what their strengths and weaknesses are and where they may need to improve in their writing. I learned that the strengths in my argument were my transitions from different points and that my arguments throughout my whole paper seemed to be concrete and back up my overall argument well. I learned that something that could improve my paper is using a personal experience to demonstrate my argument. Having peer review also lets me see strengths in other people’s writing that I may not have in mine or catch mistakes in their writing that may also be in mine. Peer review gives us the opportunity to hear constructive criticism on our writing and can only help it improve. The only negative thing I have to say about peer review is that I do not think we have enough time to efficiently review on another’s papers. I kind of felt rushed and may not have given or received complete and in-depth feedback on my and others paper due to the lack of time. But overall, I liked peer review because now I know how I need to improve in my writing.
