a. I did not anticipate this text to be as influential as it was, it allowed for me to begin to see what steps I should be taking to benefit the work of my peers. Specifically, the "What are your Goals" section surprised me because it reminded me to not take control away from the writer, to only propose potential fixes to the problems in a paper.
b. I believe these strategies will be beneficial in peer review, the "How to Present your Comments" section allowed me to see the specific ways I should be reviewing the paper. I was able to read over examples of suggestions I could potentially make about the writing. Which allowed for me to have a much clearer idea of what was expected from a reviewer. In the "How much Criticism? How much Praise?" section, I learned that praise is just as necessary as criticism. It is important to praise because the author will know what to continue to do and potentially add more of in the piece.
c. Having done some peer review in the past I would say my experience has been positive. But peer review usually only helped me to identify the grammatical errors in my paper, never really reviewing the ideas I had presented in the piece. So I feel like I would have benefited more from peer review having known about these techniques sooner.
