Assignment #10- Thinking Critically About Peer Review


Personally, I think that the peer review we do in class is effective but only to some point. It is sure helpful when it comes to correcting the sentence structures, run on sentences, paragraph organization but some of the major issues are never to be resolved that way. I feel like even if my draft undergoes certain changes during the peer review, I do not learn from it in a larger scale. It is helpful for writing a paper, but not in improving our writing process in general, or for a future reference. Being honest I am not a good peer reviewer simply because English is my second language. The English and Polish writing styles are mostly similar, so I do not have a problem in paragraph organization. I can clearly explain what I feel does not belong, or I can give an advice of how to improve the overall piece by adding certain elements to it. When it comes to sentence structures, run on sentences, or spell checking, I am not a person to seek help from. I believe that the peer review system we operate in right now is all right. It is a wise idea to do a peer review for the very first draft we bring to class. Doing so, we get a better understanding of where do we go wrong, and we have enough time to correct ourselves. Also, we get a better picture of what our peer review partner is expecting for the ending and what is his image of further developing our piece.
