What did you learn from your peer review projects about 1) Writing and Editing in general, and 2) your actual research project, specifically.
I thought the peer review projects were very helpful. By correcting and reading someone else’s work, let me take a break from my own research and focus on a classmate’s work. Like Marlen said before, sometimes it’s not about getting something out of a project for myself, but helping others. I felt this project really let me help someone else, but it did help me too. It helped me look for problems within my own paper and see how others were organizing their thoughts, which gave me ideas for my own.
Within my own research, Tyler found strengths I had and weaknesses. A strength within my research is that my topic is great. I knew previously that not many know about hyperhidrosis and Tyler confirmed that. He was also interested in the topic, which confirms that I am writing to an audience that is needed and presenting my own story. Also it is evident in my paper that this topic is important to me and very personal. Tyler picked up on this right away, which is what I was hoping to do. A couple weaknesses I had were a few run-on’s, but I think it’s because I want to say so much and I forget to breathe sometimes. And Tyler also caught something really important, an accusation (the only way). I should never do that, and I’m glad he caught that!
This project really helped me and I’m sure it helped my partner too. Peer reviews are very important!!!
