Blog 13:Peer Review 2
I felt this second peer review session was much more informative and useful in locating errors in my paper. I specifically liked having the hard copy in front of me, becuase I was able to stay focused and not get lost in what the person was reading. I also think that this paper was easier for me to understand and write than the narrative assignment. I think this understanding also carries over to others in the class which allows for more effective comments and suggestions related to each specific paper. For my next draft I will be adding more quotations in order to produce a more concise, clear question and thesis. I always enjoy peer review, because the opinons of others can really be useful in filling in gaps that are unclear throughout the paper. Sometimes sentences make sense to me, becuase I know the overall purpose of the paper, but in reality these sentences could be confusing and irrelevant. Overall, peer review is a great way to have students give positive and negative feedback to other students in order to produce a more refined complete paper.
I agree that peer review is often very helpful. I am glad that we got to use the hard copies this time because it makes it easier to follow along and make corrections to the papers.

i agree about having a hard copy. I have found that it is very useful to ask every group member to go through their hard copy and circle all my grammatical errors on the hard copy. I have such a hard time catching my own grammar mistakes.
