Peer Review Recap, Part 2
I though that the star system was a good idea. I think it helped me give better feedback to my group members. Rather then focusing primarily on grammar, I was more concerned with making sure my group members’ papers addressed the purpose of the assignment. As for the feedback that I received, I think that it was very helpful. I wished that my rough draft wasn’t as rough as it was because I think that I would have received even better feedback. I think that one disadvantage of this process could be that people might think that once they fix these errors their papers are done; however, revisions are something that never end.
I think that having an outside reader is a really good idea. I think that their unbiased opinions are helpful. However, my paper wasn’t quite focused, so my reader had a hard time understanding it. His opinion was that it was a little choppy and not all my examples made sense. He understood that I was relating a commercials style to that of ancient style; I thought this was good considering how much work I knew my draft needed.
