I found the peer review and self revisions portions of class really helpful and beneficial when it came to revisions and fixing my essays. I have used peer review plenty of times before so I got the hang of it quickly. Seeing other peoples thoughts on my work gives me the option to go back in and change anything that I may have missed myself. Most of the comments I got on my work were surface level like grammar or sentence errors, but a few like the ones listed below are more in depth and really focused on the messages in my essays. Using my own revisions is also a normal thing I try to incorporate but sometimes I make mistakes and miss errors in my work. The praise of good work gives me boosts of confidence but also provides me with feedback to make my work even better!
“For the most part, this is a solid paper! I think that the main paragraph points are strong. I like the wording used throughout the paper. The one comment I have is I would be careful about claiming Barrios is the one talking about social media when it is actually Maria Konnikova’s article being covered!”
“I think this is a good paper! I would only say to maybe replace the word “could” in your thesis. I believe it will make your argument stronger.”
