Blog Post 3

     There are many ways to provide meaningful feedback to your peers. One of the best way to give meaningful feedback is to give the writer compliments of what the writer did well on, tell the writer what you like about their paper. Making suggestion to the the writer about their paper if also helpful. When giving a writer feedback the editor should not just tell the writer what he or she did wrong, but the editor should give corrections. Even when giving correction the editor should stay positive. When making suggestions the editor should include examples such as; word choice, organization, sentence structure, the topic, details, and so on.When providing feedback the editor should be very specific by letting the writer know what they have made a mistake on.
     There are mistakes that an editor and as the writer  can make while critiquing and taking critcism from their peers. Most peer reviews are with partners. As a editor be carefully not to be picky about how you would like to see the paper instead of what the actually writer wants the paper to say. Providing meaningful feedback does not just mean telling the writer that he or she did something wrong. As a peer editor you should provide the writer with corrections and examples of what can make their paper or work better. Even the writer whose paper is being edited by their peer plays a role in the editing process. Their role is to be interested in what going on and not have an attitude or not care what the editor is saying. A Meaningful feedback include both the editor and the writer not just the editor.

  1. Shernell,
    Great post about peer editing! It is so important to be polite and positive when giving and receiving feedback. You made a great point about how the person who's paper is being edited should also be interested and involved in the process. This post is put together with great structure. The only thing I found incorrect was the use of "if" instead of "is" in the first paragraph, but thats a simple and easy mistake to make. The only other suggestion would be to proof read your post one last time before posting, but other than that you did awesome!
