Reading my peer's essays made me understand other people's views of alcohol on campus. Peer review not only helps me develop my paper further by having another person read my work, but it helps me grasp new ideas. Since my peers are doing the same project we can discuss our papers together rather than having an outsider (roommate, friend, etc.) read my paper.
Criterion was also another helpful factor while writing my paper; it evaluates small things in my paper so my peers do not have to waste their time in doing so. Criterion pointed out a lot of repeated words, punctuation issues, etc. Although I submitted my paper to Criterion twice before peer review, I still had to make corrections. I enjoy peer review because you get personal feedback from a classmate who is researching the same topic that you are, therefore they have a similar mind set as you do.
I feel that peer editing was also really helpful. I like reading other peoples papers to see their ideas towards drinking. I also found criterion really helpful, since it points out the errors you did not realize you made. Criterion showed my repetition of words, especially how I said students a bunch of times. I think we should continue to peer edit our classmates essays throughout the rest of the semester.
ReplyDeleteNicole, I also thought that Criterion was so helpful! It caught mistakes that I would have never noticed. I cannot wait to submit papers from my other classes this semester, to double and triple check before I submit them!
