Peer Review

I found that the peer review was a helpful resource in writing my paper. i tend to have a real hard time with writing papers. i get very distracted and find it hard to stay on the topic within the paper. once i start writing a paper it's best for me not to be interrupted. While staying on task might seem great to some people its not always the best for me. If my idea doesn't really have anything to do with what the paper is about then i don't have anything from stopping me and just rambling on about the wrong topic. Having our peers review the paper really helped with directing the idea of my paper towards one that fit the prompt. It helped because it seemed that everyone had some comments that were similar so i knew that those definitely needed to be changed or re worded while they each had some comments that the others didn't which also helped with rewriting my paper.

I found it really easy to make comments on others papers for the peer review. Although i will say that i thought it was more productive in a group setting than just commenting on word. While on word i only have my thought to guide the person and have to think of the technical words and terms. If we are in a group discussion setting in class i found it easier to get the point across. It also helped with thinking up new ideas on what to add to the paper or to elaborate on since there were more people to brainstorm with. Overall i liked peer review and thought it to be a very helpful resource.
