Deadline #8 HW #3 Peer Review Reflection

My peer reviewing experience for WP #2 made me realize what I need to work on my own draft and how detailed citations really are. I peer reviewed Mike's and Heather's WP #2. What I have learned from their papers is to add your position of your argument in the introduction and making sure all citations are correct. It is important to let your audience know what side you take on the argument, but also have a neutral mind on researching on the topic. It is necessary to add this in the introduction. I also learned to make sure the citations are in the correct order and have no mistakes. Some mistakes I came across on the citations was not underlining titles, forgetting quotations, and misplacing publication dates. This made me realize that I need to double check my own citations. Kathy peer reviewed my WP #2. Her comments were not surprising to me because I knew I had some grammatical and citation mistakes. Her comments were uplifting and helped me realize what I need to fix. I also was able to learn some new things from her comments, such as I did not know before you had to abbreviate college in a citation. After reading her comments, I need to fix comma errors, apostrophe errors, misspelled words, and citation abbreviation errors.
