Peer reviewing other peoples research was really interesting. I found that I was really critical of information that was presented because I didn’t want to except every statement as the truth. I also found that I really like to help people improve their writing. Through the peer review process I learned a lot about how a review article should look. One thing I learned was that it is important to format a paper in a way that builds off of itself and is easy to read. It can be hard to understand a paper when the information at the end is needed to understand the beginning. One thing I want to apply to my paper is increasing the readability. I think I spent a lot of time talking about scientific jargon a little too much and that can be confusing and hard to read. I also think that after looking at other peoples paper it is important to state what you are arguing early on in the paper. Overall, the peer review process really helped me think about my writing more critically.
