Peer Editing

Today’s peer editing session went quite well. I received a lot of positive feedback about my paper. The one thing I like about peer editing is that you are able to gain different perspectives about each individual’s topic, which allows us to write from a different angle when we go back and re-work our essays. I also like the constructive criticism. We are able to help one another without being harsh. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to discuss specific problems with me and my partner’s paper. This was a setback because I did not get a clear understanding of what my partner saw as problematic points in my paper. Based on what little time we did have, I hopefully will be able to go back and look through my essay and fix some problems. Next time I think we should make the revision process a week because this way if I do not finish in class, I can take it home and look over it more thoroughly instead of rushing through it in class. Overall, I feel that even though it is a good thing to do as far as catching mistakes that one would not see on their own, we cannot possibly give the greatest amount of feedback in this one class period.
