Post # 15: Peer Review Project Reflect
Personally, I learned more about the different writing styles that people use. Different people use colons, and semicolons more or less and some people even use styles I have yet to really see before this project. It was a good experience for me because now that I have seen what others have done in a more holistic way than the blogs can show, I will incorporate their good ideas into my paper. It forces me to critique my own paper as I critique another’s.
Another thing that I was forced to observe was my own grammar. Though I write well in theory, my construction and semi colon use needs a little work. Reading another person’s paper helped me see what I can do with certain areas of grammar, so I am hoping that after editing my paper again it will have more strength in this area.
While I enjoy peer reviewing, I sometimes worry that I am either to harsh or to gentle on my fellow students. I am hoping with future peer review projects I will get more comfortable.
