D#12,HW#8 Peer Review Reflection

I peer reviewed the following drafts this week:

WP #3 Justin Winter draft

WP#3 Draft, Coralee Harding (She has posted a new draft since I did the peer review).

Commenting on these drafts made me realize the importance of having another person review my writing. I get in too much of a hurry sometimes, and simple mistakes get by me. Justin did a really good job explaining both sides of the hunting controversy. His sources are credible and well documented. Coralee is obviously passionate about her topic, too. I only had a few questions for her.

Coralee and Jared peer reviewed my draft, and offered some very good suggestions. I will add the things they mentioned to my final draft. I also need to finish my annotations. Some sources were added as I developed my paper—mainly because I liked the way they presented statistics.

Overall, this has been a positive experience, and I learned many things about the topic that I was not aware of. Jared has shared some of the things he knows about, which helped me focus on items that I needed to clarify for my readers and myself. Thanks for that, Jared.
