I actually enjoyed the peer review process. At first, I thought that this was a crazy idea to read the work of other class members because at my high school we did not really do any type of peer review. When we did do it mostly involved sitting in a group pretending to listen to your classmates’ work and not really give any feedback. You always felt that only the teacher was allow to judge your writing since the teacher was suppose to by the writing expert at the time, and you felt like your peers where not able to give any significant feedback that would help your paper.
With the peer review this week it was really a struggle to get the nerves to read my work out loud to my group. I was never the one in school who raised their hand to read a paragraph out of a book or I would try to duck from the teacher so he or she would not call on me. But reading out loud did help me catch my own mistakes in my paper.
I was happy that with this peer review that we actually had to give our opinion on the papers we had. It wasn’t sugar and spice and everything nice. It was the truth on how your peers felt about what they were reading and what they believed that you should considering doing to make the paper better. I learned that my peers like details a lot. Also, I learned from reading and my own writing that it is not the better idea to jump from topic to topic because it is confusing to the reader. Overall, great experience.
