Learning Outcome Four

I like peer reviewing work to help my peers. Peer review allows students to grow and encourages students to be critical. I personally feel uncomfortable at times editing work done by students, but I know if I don’t then students will be missing critical points of their essays that need changing. I personally grow a lot from peer review and I want that same experience as well. In my peer review I try to point out local edits and global edits to strengthen the paper as a whole. Local edits are easier to find, global edits can be hard to point but are more meaningful to point out. Grammar and minor changes can always be made, but thesis and main ideas should be strong. This is why global edits are so important. Helping a student find global edits overall improves the voice of the essay where as local edits are fine tuning that voice.
