Peer Review



Overall, I think my peer review skills have somewhat improved. I still have the occasional grammar or typo fix kind of comments but I have improved on more specific comments about the evidence used or the organization as well. In my first comment, I suggested that my peer introduced the texts better. This is because she gives extremely minimal background but only on the author and then dives into her use of evidence. I thought that it was a bit confusing and therefore warranted a suggestion to add more of an introduction of the texts. My second and third comments were about use of quotes. I thought that she could have used cut down her first quote as it was a bit lengthy and the last part seemed unnecessary and took away from the rest of it. The second quote I suggested a better introduction because she dropped the quote in instead of leading into it with signal phrasing. My final comment I suggested she didn’t use the quote she picked because she had already used it in her introduction.
