Peer Review Reflection

Activity: Peer Review Reflection

Observation: 
You really start to witness different styles of writing when you peer edit papers. After reading a fellow classmates paper I observed some effective argumentation strategies. Along with that I learned what does not work. For instance, not being to wordy within the piece. It takes away from the point sometimes making things more confusing. Also just coming out and stating what you want to prove. Reading the other paper I realized having factual support helps prove your argument. Some things that did not work is not being detailed when needed. I have learned that it hinders the ability to prove the point. When I received the comments on my paper I developed a clearer understanding of my strengths and weaknesses as a writing. I need to state what I'm trying to say and not be so wordy!
