In What is Peer Editing?, they said that reviews should contain compliments. I think that this is very crucial in making the peer edits not seem rude. That is the main thing that I took from the video. This video better explained some of the details that I didn't know much about before. Peer Edit With Perfection Tutorial, basically restated what the previous video stated. It focused on how much peer editing can help improve your work. But, the way you word your feedback determines how successful your edit can be. Writing Peer Review Top 10 Mistakes states how your peer edit could not be successful. People can sometimes be very picky, and that doesn't work. If peer editing is done correctly, it can be very powerful and helpful. I am looking forward to helping others with their posts through this new information I have learned.
I rarely ever enjoyed peer editing when I was in grade school because I, too, felt like it was never taught properly therefore we as students never executed it properly when it came time to have to do it! Making compliments is very crucial when it comes to peer editing because the high points should be hit first so it makes talking about the low points easier (i.e., keeping a confidence level high so they know they've at least done something right). Another big thing is to keep an open mind when it comes to peer editing because although some of us may be picky when it comes to writing, we should keep in mind that some of our classmates may not be on the same level as other students are (academically, that is). I am also looking forward to helping others with their posts! I hope that peer editing makes us stronger as a class so we can achieve great grades. Thank you for such a well worded post and I look forward to reading more of your posts in the future!
