When I initially read Peer Review on the syllabus I got extremely anxious. The thought of having my classmates read my essays and give me feedback scared me. I didn’t think I was even a decent writer, so I thought Peer Reviews would be embarrassing. Once we got to week 4 I felt a little more comfortable with my writing skills and had mentally prepared myself for the Peer Reviews. The Peer Review is helpful period. The mistakes my classmates identified in the reviews helped me tremendously. The different view points gave different aspects on how I could improve my essays. I loved the feedback from my peers!
