Peer reviews

I feel peer reviews can be helpful in many different ways. Posting on the discussion board, gives other classmates to see what your outlook is on what is being asked. It also gives classmates the opportunity to give feedback to help that person improve there work or help them understand if they are wrong. Peer reviews give you different opinions on how your class work is great or where they might be able to give you some suggestions to make a wee bit better. I like that we have to post our thesis statements and paper drafts, because it helps to hear what others have to say about your paper. I have gotten a lot of good feedback helping decide what direction I should be going in or how I should restate something in my paper. Classmates are good about giving different ideas on where to find information also. I feel it's good to receive feedback from different people, because not everyone thinks the same. Being able to read the difference and piece the helpful information together, can help in the long run when finalizing your paper. What might sound good to yourself might not sound that good to the reader and being able to have your classmates read your work will let you know how it really is. Although some people don't take feedback all that well. Even if the feedback is positive or even negative, some people don't like to hear what has to be said from other people. So it's not always a good thing in peoples eyes. For the most part though I do believe most people like to have that extra opinion on there school work.
