I dont like in class peer-reviews that much. It's nice just to have someone read over your paper to look for little errors that you might have missed, but overall, im not a fan. I feel like sometimes they dont actually read your paper that carefully and just give you responses and questions about your paper that seem like they came out of left field. I have found that people sometimes suggest changes that I totally disagree with and then it makes me second guess my work.
I agree, it is really nice to have the extra set of eyes. Sometimes I think peer-evaluation is a waste of time, but I am actually looking forward to reading everyone else's papers to get a better idea of the arguments public spaces are making.
ReplyDeleteI think the most tough part is to read someone else's essay with care since they will hear what exact you will judge on his/her paper and obviously he/she knows much much more about his/her own essay than others do.
