Peer Review Recap, part one

For the most part I really liked using Google Docs to workshop this project. I thought it was a lot easier to work with than doing an in-class workshop and made it easier to give the paper's my full attention. The only problem was something which isn't inherent to Google Docs, but just to the group editing process in general. I was the first in our group to edit any of the papers, and the last to get any feedback on my own, so I had to wait until the last minute to do this assignment.


As for the advice both of my group members noticed that I focused on a few parts of how my project succeeded while almost entirely ignoring another aspect. This was something that I hadn't really thought of because I took the assignment in sort of a different direction than they did. I agree with what they said, though, and want to clean up certain parts of my essay to make them more clear.

In general the advice I gave was for them to include more information supporting their claims. I realized later that perhaps suggesting what information they should add may have been helpful.

The only suggestion I have is to set a deadline for when groups should have their edits made. This will eliminate the problem of being forced to wait until the last minute to do the blog post.
