really responding


This text surprised me by how much thought and detail should go into peer review.  I always just assumed being swift was the best for everyone.  However, taking time and contemplate the writer’s work with feedback sometimes longer than 3 words can really benefit a writer. 

One strategy that stuck is to assess the situation before peer grading: is the writer trying to have a serious, comedic, or another tone. This helps you be able to positively benefit the writers work.
Another strategy would to not be bossy. Not like a “judge” or a “teacher.”  One should sound like themselves normally, because you are giving a response not a lecture.   I never really thought to think of this because I always tried to keep an objective, teacher tone.

I have done peer review in the past.  My experience has been positive because my peers have usually been both critical, responsive and agreeable to my work.  I have never had someone be too critical or received too much praise.
