Peer Review Opinion:
Well I would like to say a actually really enjoyed getting all the feedback on my paper, it was all really helpful and will make my paper sound better. At first I was a little worried about the feedback, but it all turned out well. I wish I would have know how long it would have taken before hand. If I had know that I wouldn't have started the night before at 11:00. I didn't like how we had to do 5 per page because it was kind of hard for me to find 5 things on ever page, I think I would have liked it more if we had to do a certain amount on the whole paper.
Thanks for the suggestion about comments per paper instead of per page for peer reviews. I'll take that into consideration with the next peer review.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with your opinion on peer reviewing. The feedback was helpful, but 5 per page I think is a little to much. Good job on the punctuation.
ReplyDeleteNice job catching mistakes and I also agree with you and Kenny that 5 is a bit much. It definitely took longer than I expected but I think that it really was helpful.
ReplyDeleteI liked your comment on peer reviews. Also, good job on your sentence errors. The only thing I wasn't sure about was where the comma should be on number 4. I think it might make more sense if you added it after the second "if" and not after "class". Overall, nice work:)
ReplyDeleteOn sentence one I think you meant "amount of A's" instead of "amount if A's." Other than that good job on fixing your mistakes and I also definately agree on your ideas about peer reviewing.
ReplyDeleteHey! I did mine at 11:00 as well! How ironic... I've also procrastinated doing comments, so here I am. I completely agree with the help that peer reviewing provides. It helped me a ton. And yes, 5 per page was a bit difficult.
