1. This text surprised me by saying that comments should be made in both margins and with an attached note. I guess I have always edited in margin, but while reading it makes sense because a note could offer a longer summary of what you like and offers for change.
2.Strategies in this text will definitely make me a better peer reviewer. One particular point that stuck out to me was making full comments. Comments that not only include praise, and suggestions but detailed explanations. Another interesting point that was made was although reviewers are allowed to make suggestions they believe are true, writers are not forced to use all their suggestions but instead pick what they are comfortable with.
3.Peer review in the past has mostly been just about punctuation and grammar, versus offering suggestions on how to organize or about the actual writing idea itself. Usually the editing was minimal because essays were short and had already been cleaned up prior to my editing. It's been neither a positive or negative experience to edit. I suppose having my paper edited has usually been more of a negative experience because I hoped for better suggestions then I received.
