• What do you think the goal of peer review is or should be?
I think that the goal of peer
review is to be able to constructively criticize each other’s work.
• Do you think peer review is helpful? Why or why not?
I don’t think that peer review is helpful. Although I think
that it can be used as a useful tool, I think most of the time it is not taken
seriously or utilized to it’s full potential.
• As a writer, what do you want to know about your work? What
kinds of feedback do you find most helpful?
As a writer I want to know if I’m on the
right track. I want to know that I am doing the assignment correctly and in an
interesting manner that is enjoyable for my audience.
• As a reviewer, what do you need (from both myself and the
author) to provide the best feedback possible?
As a reviewer I need the time to read through the paper
a few times so I can review it to the best of my ability and to be able to talk
to the author about the questions I have and explain to them the comments I
make on their paper.
• What group sizes do you prefer (2 people, 5 people, etc.)?
I think
that pairs work the best for peer review because as much time can be spent on a
paper is needed and it’s not like a competition to see how many we can get
through.
• How long do you prefer to work on peer review projects?
One of the things I really like, is
having the entire class time to be able to work on peer review projects. It
gives enough time to
• Would you like to pick your own groups or have me select the
pairings?
I
like picking my own group because I want a reviewer I know. I don’t want to
have to be worried about judgment from a peer I don’t know. Although I
understand that everyone has access to my work, I don’t want to embarrass
myself if my work is totally off point and I would rather have someone that
knows me (of my choice) review my work-in-progress because I think it is far
less stressful.
