After you finish your final draft write ~250 words reflecting on the peer review. What was helpful about it and what was not. Did you get some good feedback? What did you apply to your paper (try to be specific). Do you feel like you have a better sense of what to look for when reading other and your own writing?
I thought that the peer review was almost entirely unhelpful, majorly because it was unclear to the group who was supposed to read who's paper and thus one person read mine. Although, my paper had to be entirely rewritten it would have been nice to know what I did well on and what I had to work on for my rewrite. I did, however, keep in mind while picking a new article to argue against that I do have to disagree with what they're saying. I think that I know not to nit-pick at grammar and misspelled words and focus on the paper in its entirety. Otherwise I think that the peer reviews were much less helpful than Josh's if only because we're not sure exactly what you're looking for when you grade our papers.
