Peer Workshops & Peer Reviews
Posted by jross in English 207 Tagged English 207
My past experiences with peer workshops and peer reviews go back to my freshman year in English 111 and 112. In these classes, the majority of our paper editing and drafting occurred in small groups. The nice thing about this class (English 112) and the peer workshops was that our class was held in Kohl hall and all of the students in the class were residents of Kohl. This allowed us to workshop with peers that we were already accustomed to, and more than likely friends with. I’ve always enjoyed peer workshops because it gives me a chance to receive input and constructive criticism without it being a grade and some comments. Peer workshops have always been something of beneficial value to me.
That is really cool about your class in Kohl Hall. I think that I enjoy peer editing more when it is done with a person that I trust and respect as a writer. I don’t like to share my writing with just anyone.
