The two drafts I reviewed this week were: Jared Zucker WP#1 - Draft - Zucker_eng102_7891
Camille Luna Research Proposal. Deadline #3
Going through the Peer Review readings helped me understand what to look for when scanning someone else's writing. It can be easy to focus on minor errors in grammar or punctuation, but it takes more thoughtful analysis to evaluate context and structure. Reviewing the other proposals and the comments posted helped me gain a better understanding of writing for multiple audiences. Things I deal with on a daily basis need to be fully explained to others. I need to make sure that the terminology I use in my writing will be clear to everyone in my audience. I am still working on transitions and constructing better beginning and ending sentences for each paragraph. I hope it will be evident in my final paper.

I liked peer reviewing. It helped me realize what I was missing in my proposal.
I agree..sometimes when you know a lot about a certain topic you forget that others may not know as much. I come across this daily working in the technology field. However, since we are picking a specific audience to write to in this paper, I don't think it is as critical to make sure all audience's understand it..just maybe explain briefly.
I agree a hundred percent with you that reviewing is more than grammatical errors, but understanding the paper,making sure it flows, and has the content to be successful.
