Peer Revision

When it came to the peer revision sessions, I found that the times that we were given a sheet with questions were the easiest, and the most effective. When given specific things to look for and analyze, it made it much easier for me to stay on track and stay focused. It also helped me to notice small details that I may have missed, had I been working without a guide.

The peer revisions helped me catch small errors in my grammar and spelling that I may not have noticed otherwise. It also helped by giving me another perspective on my writing, and new ideas on how to approach my writing. Sometimes when I write, I do not pay attention to what I am writing. Instead, I just type what I am thinking in my head, and this can lead to improper sentence format or tone.

The only problem that I have with peer revision is that occasionally two people are on different levels when it comes to writing ability and reading comprehension, and this can lead to a misunderstanding of what someone is trying to say. I was also not a fan of having to email our partner during our letter of complaint revision. I would have preferred to have a hard copy with notes and corrections, rather than have to deal with the emails and the new files that have to be created and saved in order to revise.
