A Peer Review

Any writer knows that the completion of a paper is a lengthy process. Sometimes it is hard to notice errors in your own paper while rigorously throwing ideas on a notepad or keyboard. In class we were paired up with a classmate to make the process a little easier. This was a great help, and I learned many things as a result of doing this. I learned that to review a paper you have to have a rubric with a list of objectives to go by in order to correct any problems that are present in the paper. You have to basically dissect each portion of the paper, the thesis, each main point, and the conclusion of the paper to see if it is all relative to the point that you are trying to prove/disprove. The other aspect of reviewing a paper is just a general proofread, ensuring that the font is correct, there are no grammatical errors, and that you have written the paper in the format that is required. There is also a writing center on campus that can provide these services to students free of charge, making the final draft of the paper much less stressful than it has to be. After using all of these resources, the outcome of my paper will be fine tuned and less subject to pesky red marks that haunt many student's papers.
