How Can You Provide Meaningful Feedback to Your Peers
After watching What is Peer Editing? and Writing Peer Review Top 10 Mistakes, and reading Peer Edit With Perfection Tutorial, I have learned that peer editing is given to help one another. I always kind of hold back on my critiques when peer editing. I do so because I feel that I may be too critical and I do not want to offend anyone. Ultimately, I feel that because I do not fully critique my peers paper I am hurting them rather than helping them. I feel this way because their papers only have half the critiques that are needed to improve their papers and not all the critiques that are needed to improve their paper.

Aneshia,
ReplyDeleteI too feel the need to sometimes hold back when giving peer reviews, especially if I don't know the person well, it can certainly be a little awkward. You run the risk of hurting their feelings or discouraging them from what they are doing. That is why I find the three stages to peer reviewing so helpful. It gives you a precise, rubric if you will, to successfully give a peer review. As you said, staying positive will certainly help things go smoother for both your peer as well as you. At the end of the day, it is in the best interest of your peer that you, the reviewer are open and honest, this will allow your peer to have a better piece of work.
I really liked when you said, "peer editing is given to help one another". I agree Aneshia, it's difficult to peer edit someone else's thoughts on paper. I found peer editing is a guide to make corrections, improve the person's writing without offending them, and give suggestions. I agree, staying positive will help critiquing a paper. I experience writing to be very complicated. I will gain many ideas to improve my writing, by peer editing.
