Peer review I believe is an amazing aid to help student see their own mistakes before grading or in this weeks case read their own mistakes. I am not a good reader so I would have a lot of trouble reading mine to others. However when a student in my group read her paper aloud you could get her opinion on the paper by the tone of her voice and she didn’t need us to correct her grammar because by reading aloud she caught them herself. The only way it can hurt you is by having a reader who doesn’t care enough to help you improve your paper. I think my strengths as a peer reviewer is seeing if they include all the questions they were suppose to answer in the paper and identifying what else is needed. Also being honest, you can’t help someone achieve better if you don’t tell them what is wrong. If the paper doesn’t grab your attention right away, giving them an example of how they might be able to grab my attention, they can take my opinion and make it their own by still capturing the readers interest. The ideal peer review for me, would be to have a rough draft and have the professor go over it with the whole class asking if we have mandatory points and answers in our paper. Then having us go home and correct it, and having a student review it one more time before the final draft is due. This way we clearly know what the professor wants and well as another opinion on how we are capturing all the necessary points and attention the paper needs.
