Peer Editing Assessment
1. The first peer assessment I received was extremely helpful. The type of feedback that was helpful was what focused on weaknesses. While I often can pinpoint what many of my weaknesses are I cannot always figure out how to go about fixing them.

I would rather not receive suggestions on fixing grammatical or spelling errors because those are more easily dealt with if I take more time to review the paper.
The second peer assessment I received was not nearly as helpful as the first. I received comments saying that my argument was pretty clear and strong.

Focus more on the stronger support rather than the weak point that I tried to elaborate unnecessarily on. This helped me narrow down what ideas I should keep for my final essay. As a writer I learned that I am often redundant and need to eliminate that as best as I can. As a reader I realized that unless something is glaringly wrong to me it is... [continues]
