Learning outcome 4: Below are examples of me peer editing a paper for a classmate. This shows the peer reviews of mine and how they are either good or bad, and ways they can either fix or expand on their ideas.

 

Framing Statement: I chose to do my peers Justin, I thought that I was very involved within this second significant project. I understood the material and was able to expand my ideas to help him understand his. I thought that I gave more of a positive peer edit as his paper was very well written. I expanded on ways he might be able to fix his paper such as citations, and expanding more. I talked about organization to help his understanding, and help his paper flow better. This way he can expand more on specific details and add more to his essay for other readers to understand and follow. I strongly suggested him do more of a build up to quotes, rather than just ending the build up sentence and then say “According to”, this way it goes right into the quotes. I thought that he could expand more on certain quotes and try to explain them better. His thesis was clear and thought out, that way he could let the paper flow by itself with organization. I believe that I need to expand more on how they can dig into their quotes better and explain them better. I also think that I could done a better job of digging in and reading a persons paper more clearly to give a better peer edit rather than just noting things here and there. I understand now that peer editing is a huge part to writing essays, and this way I can try harder towards peer edits and helping other writers. There is always work to be done, and giving more of an effort is always important to become better.
