Free Write Feb 8

The past experiences that I've had with peer review have generally been good ones with people giving feedback on different papers and scripts. The kind of feed back that I have found most helpful in these past experiences has been ones that concern the actually information making up the text, like what is and isn't necessary and what needs to be built off of, instead of feedback concerning grammar issues. Mostly because I can pretty easily find my own grammar mistakes when I reread the drafts of my papers, so it isn't as helpful as the constructive criticism I could be getting on the format, wording, or phrasing of information. The only thing that had really frustrated me through out peer reviews was when the person reviewing my work would only point out grammar mistakes and nothing else. For example in my papers they would just underline any run on sentence or somewhere that needed a semicolon rather than a comma. I understand that it's important to fix these sorts of mistakes, but during a peer review I'm not really looking for a grammar check; that's something I can run a program for while I'm writing a final draft of my project.
