Assignment #10- Thinking Critically About Peer Review

I personally find peer review really helpful because you receive feedback from other classmates and not only from your teacher. Also, what I like about peer review is that you don’t necessarily have go to the teacher every time you have a question. You can simply ask your partner and he gladly would help you. The strongest part about peer review is that other classmates are able to notice your mistakes when you can’t. This is a great advantage in order to receive a high grade for your essay. Peer review has a great amount of strengths, but it also has a weakness. This weakness is created when students don’t take peer review seriously. If you don’t take peer review seriously you won’t be able to help your classmate because you are not correcting the essay in appropriate way. My ideal peer review would be where students only work in groups of two for peer review and with the right amount of time for them to complete the peer review process. I think a class day would be enough time for them to get finish, but this also depends on how long is the paper.
