In the previous class we were asked to peer edit a classmate’s paper. From the beginning I already had my reservations. Already a little uncomfortable about other people critiquing and evaluating my work, I was prepared for the worst. Once we formed into our groups and discussed within our group what we thought our strengths and weakness were I began to feel a little more at ease and I liked that. Also, I think it is easier to take advice from your peers due to the fact that you can relate to them more. Personally I feel as though peer editing is not something that I would voluntarily want to do. The reason being is because I feel as though I am not the best writer, and reading other people writing would not be beneficial for them.
Everything about peer editing is not so bad. The one thing that I would do differently is try to give better advice to my peers. I want to try to give them ideas or opinions that they wouldn’t have thought of. At the end of the day, weighting the pros and cons of peer editing I would have to say that it’s not so bad after all.
