>>>>>Optimism One’s main point on the views of writing is that “…writing process[es] can be greatly improved” with peer review. The writer says that sometimes you can feel “unaccountable” for your writing if you don’t have someone review and edit it. I think that he touches on a really good point because without someone to review your work, you may miss the mistakes you’ve made. When I write my essays, I will read them over and over again, which causes me to skip over some things. That is when peer review becomes crucial, so that my editors find my mistakes and not my teachers.
>>>>>During this quarter every essay and assignment that we have worked on, we’ve had peer review. Peer review has had its challenges but for the most part it’s helped throughout my writing processes. I found it challenging throughout my experiences with peer review, that it is hard for the students who are editing my work to be honest about my writing. Some say, “everything looks great and you did nothing wrong.” I know that this is not true because it’s impossible to not make mistakes in writing. When people don’t say what’s wrong with my writing during peer review, it makes it hard for me, as the writer to develop a thorough essay. I need those comments to make edits and changes to my writing, to make progression.
>>>>>This quarter my essays were greatly influenced by peer review from the few people who did make thorough comments to my writing, though sometimes I wouldn’t even receive a peer review comment. Not receiving a comment made it a lot harder for me to make my changes. If I didn’t get god responses from my classmates during peer review, I would turn to someone else like a family member or my teachers. Although getting review from other classmates is the most helpful, when they do comment. I would have to say that even though some of the reviews I’ve received weren’t that great, there are still a lot of benefits to giving the reviews.
>>>>>What I thought was the most beneficial part of peer review this quarter, was giving the peer review comments. Giving those comments gave me a sense of something that I could be doing wrong as well as the person I was commenting. As I read peoples essays, I would correct their mistakes and correcting those mistakes helped me find my own in my writing. If some things were worded wrong, I thought to myself, maybe they are in mine too. Sometimes reading someone else’s writing and finding the mistakes they made, can help you find the ones in your own writing.
>>>>>The entire writing process this quarter has made the greatest improvement in my writing. The peer reviews are the biggest help, when you get the good ones at least. The peer reviews are what save us in our writing, they find our mistakes. We’ve learned a lot this quarter and that grades aren’t what matter; it’s the quality of our writing. Having peer reviews help us with that quality. The reviews put us one step closer to our final drafts, the drafts that almost seem to be glowing when we hand them in because we know it’s to our best ability. I don’t think that my essays would be as great of a quality without peer review. The peer reviews are what help us get our final edits, to that last glowing step.
