Really Responding - Dehna Rezaei


a.      How did this text surprise you?

a.      The most surprising point I read in this text were the points made were about using conversational tones when editing. Not sounding so professional will give off a more relaxed review and take away stress from the other student. It’s also relieving to not have to think so hard about what to say.

b.      Do you think the strategies in this text can help in peer review? Mention two that stuck out to you and discuss your opinion on them.

a.      Yes, I think the strategies mentioned in the text can be very useful for peer editing. The two tips that I enjoyed most were to always keep two minds on your response. This allows a fair distribution of criticism and praise. The second is to not be short and sweet. I never liked getting my paper back with no notes, it’s extremely unhelpful when you’re trying to perfect what you’ve written.

c.      Have you done peer review in the past? If so, has that experience been positive or negative and why?

a.      I have done peer review in the past. It was taught similarly to me as the text explained. It was a positive experience while learning it but in action it was a negative experience. It was either that the student was too shy to give me good criticism or too lazy to provide anything at all.
