Being a peer-reviewer was an interesting process. As I critiqued other’s writing, I felt like I was in the process of writing the paper, collecting and verifying sources myself. I enjoyed the anonymity of the peer review, as in other writing classes which were not, I felt obliged to soften my critiques at the expense of the writer’s feelings. One thing I learned which I can apply to revising my own final essay would be to take the time to read my paper out loud to see how well the ideas flow together. I think having a fresh set of eyes reviewing helped to catch mistakes in other’s drafts, and thus I also will apply this to editing my own paper. I will start to revise and edit my paper early, so that I can have ample time in between my revisions to look at it with a new pair of eyes. Furthermore, while addressing the peer-review questions provided for a classmate’s drafts were not questions I kept in mind while writing my paper. Thus, I now have a more clear rubric when finishing my final draft of my Final Essay. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
