The peer review was really helpful. I am kind of surprised to be saying this, since I usually do not find peer review beneficial. Since I was struggling with the length, the person who looked over my first draft gave me tips on how to expand my arguments and points. After reading another person’s paper during the last class for peer review, I realized where I could improve my own paper. I completely forgot that I could include limitations and the appeals being used in my PSA. Through peer review, I realized that these two points should be made in my rhetorical analysis.

It looks like the peer review really helped you with your paper. Its kind of funny how we tend to think that peer reviews or workshops can be a waste of time but I also found that this peer review was helpful too. By reading other people’s papers, you can learn from their mistakes or their accomplishments and apply those lessons to your own paper. Its also nice to get feedback and suggestions too. Good luck on your paper.
