a. What was surprising to me about the text was that how in depth a peer review really is and how effective it can be in helping someone become a better writer. Using the margins and having the writer read your notes can help them. When reading small note it will give the writer a new idea and a new idea can lead to a whole new framework.
b. One strategy that stuck out to me was how the writers need to have deep and long notes. These long notes that are more detailed will help the writer more. When people leave me only small sentences to work with I believe it is not enough to help my writing. In order to be successful during the peer review the reviewer has to be very in depth and specific. Leaving notes on specific misspelled words or unfinished sentences helps but will not change the essay as a whole. Another important strategy that stuck out was that the writers do not need to make changes to all of the peer review edits they can pick only a couple to change is they want.
c. Yes I have done many peer reviews in the past but they are not always as successful for me. Sometime you may get someone that you know is not that smart which could not help you in your editing. On the other hand I have been paired with people many times when they are smarter than me and when I have good results. I will definitley change the way I peer review after reading this article because it has taught me the importance of it and how to do it properly.
