Peer Review, Essay #1 - 10/1/2012

When my peer's were reviewing my essay they actually helped to reinforce my own essay's arguments. Yes, they did correct various grammatical errors, and sentence strucuture errors. These corrections can only help to enhance my paper's main point even further. The first first page of my essay was badly marked up. The second page however, had less marks then the first page. The third page, had barely any marks. My essay seemed to have less and less errors as it went on. In addition to fixing the errors on the first and second page though, I also have to shorten my essay to 750 words. I believe right now it is around 1,000 words or maybe even more.

It was also nice to edit other peer's essays. When I read each person's essay to myself and I realize that he or she made a mistake, I also realize that maybe I made a mistake similiar to his or hers. All it took was to read something again to yourself in order to realize your mistakes. I really enjoyed the peer reviewing of the essays. I hope that we can do them again when we do other essays. Yes I need to do a lot of work on my essay but correcting these mistakes can only enhance my essay's viewpoint more.
