1. The text surprised me by opening my eyes on how important it is to be politely helpful to the writer in the way the comments are made. I did not know how much thought and meaning a simple comment can have because most comments are short causing many to disregard the feedback. Letting the writer know the reasoning behind ones comment can make a difference. I had never really put much thought into peer reviewing but it is critical the way the process done for both the person editing and the person being edited.
2. The strategies that are mentioned in the text can be very helpful to those who are going to peer review and how to peer review correctly. You should be able to tell the writer your opinions in a way not to sound offensive or offending the writer. Two strategies that stuck out to me were 1) the writers do not need to make changes to all of the peer review edits as they only have to chose what they want to change and 2) leaving notes on misspelled words or unfinished sentences.
3. I have done peer reviews in the past for several classes but it all depends the person you are doing the peer review with. Some of my experiences have been very positive but some have been very bad. Many did not care about actually reading the assignment so they would write very vague and bad reviews.
