i like this method of peer review; having audio and visual stimulation in editing is very helpful.

I admire how brutally honest we're all supposed to be. "I'm sorry but... you fail at life. Go back to elementary school. >:C" Especially the part about tearing the papers to shreds. I'm not sure I've ever seen someone grade a paper THAT hard, but I have had the experience of having to peer edit a paper that was so horribly written that I had to stop and take a break in the middle because my head hurt so bad. I kid you not.

This revising method is AWESOME because you get to see what other peoples paper looks like and also compare your to theirs.

I like this method for editing our papers, we get feed back and sometimes its better than others. We also get to see other peoples writing to help improve our own!!!

I've seen some awful papers. To be honest the peer editing never worked for me until this last paper. Every other experience the other peer editors weren't helpful or hardly said anything about the paper. That or they couldn't coherently structure a sentence.

This last time was extremely beneficial though. I guess it depends who you are with as well.

This peer editing process is great! I think that the teachers should make there students do this in every class! It saves you time and it helps us. This method is a win win...
