While looking over my peer reviews for the research
argumentative based paper and the literacy inquiry I noticed that they were
different. For example for the research argumentative based paper my responses
were mainly questions. Questions on sources and on parts of the paper that I
felt could use more research. I did not comment on any grammar mistakes because
we were told not to. Even though it was difficult to leave it as it was but
there was not very many grammar mistakes that my group mates made. I thought
that it was easier to do the research based argumentative paper reviews because
we just had to make sure that there opinions made sense and there facts were in
order. Our comments were more like helpful hints on how I would have done with
their opinions or ways to help them put their thoughts together. During the
first peer reviews we did which were the literacy inquiry I had a little
trouble at first. But once I got the hang of I began to ask good questions and
gave help on parts that were confusing to me. I tried to help my group mates
put some ideas together to better help them explain themselves better. For both the research based argumentative
paper and the literacy inquiry I made sure to leave complements on the parts
that I liked. I tried not to be to negative in my comments so I choose to make
sure I had enough complements to match the other comments that I put. I did not have much experience doing peer
reviews I did some in high school but those were not as in depth as ours. I really
think that the peer reviews are a vital part in writing a paper because they
help the writer in so many ways.
