The issue I chose was: “Should drug testing be mandatory for people such as bus drivers, heavy equipment operators, and airplane pilots”. I feel that drug testing should be mandatory for any job that has many safety rules. If a person is taking drugs while on the job this could result in devastating action. People […]

I liked it!  when i write papers i need second and third opinions, if i just write it myself i miss so many things, though sometime it is hard to find a student good at it, so its kind of luck of the draw but atleast i got two chances.

I enjoyed getting feedback from other people because ultimately you are catering to your audience and peer review is audience. It is nice to get feedback from your audience before you make your final draft.

I don’t like reviewing someone elses paper when its their opinion about something. Especially when its about something they feel strongly about and that I might feel a different way. But at the same time I feel like if its a persuasive paper it comes it handy because if you can change the persons who […]

I learned a lot from the class peer review. It gave me a bunch of ideas on how to fix my paper and how to help out others also. I also prefer commenting on hard copy papers anyway.

I think peer review is a beneficial process for everyone involved. You can help your peers create a better paper, and you can get a better idea of where you are at with your own paper. Compliments can be reinforcing, and critiques can create a better paper.

I liked the pure review a lot. It helped me see how other people write and their techniques and styles of writing. This could potentially help me with my writing. It also helps everyone out with writing a better paper.

I quite enjoy reviewing my peers. I believe it is both helpful for the writer as well as the reader. It is interesting to hear/read what those besides the professor, think about your ideas and arguments, and receive their feedback and suggestions. Very well.

I enjoy reading other writers papers, it helps me get an understanding and possibly even use their type of strategy of writing. I also will use the critiques from the person who evaluated my paper.

I think peer review is a great thing. I like getting feedback from others, it can help to make my paper better. I also liked seeing the writing styles of others and how they brought about their topic.

I thought it was helpful.  Morgan gave me some good tips on how to phraze things and helped me with my grammer.
