Peer Revision Process

What I gained from the peer revision process was a fresh set eyes looking at my diagnostic essay. Although my partner’s feedback was minimal, my partner did make a couple good points. I think another point that the peer revision helped me with was I knew someone else was going to read my paper and I didn’t want it to make me look bad. My partner’s paper was hand written and difficult to read, so I was not able to help my partner much. Reading my diagnostic essay out loud to my partner was the most helpful part of the exercise. One way to make the exercise better would have been to separate the room into the students that had their paper typed and handwritten. It would seem that the students that had their paper typed were more interested in doing well on the paper, so I believe their feedback would have been better.
