Peer Review is something that I have never been comfortable with. In this class it seems like something I should get use to. Usually when I'm revising someone essay I focus a lot of grammatical errors. I don't really like to critique people's papers because of there feelings. I know personally when I work really hard on something and someone tears it apart I feel offended. I forget that sometimes people are just trying to help you and give constructive criticism.                       

Some of the tips that were given in class such as,

• Be open minded 
• What you put in is what you get out
• Don't judge be a reader
• Highlight what work & what needs to be strengthened 

Being open minded and trying not to judge the reader will get you through the paper regardless of any opinions you agree or disagree with. Highlighting what needs to be stronger is a better way to suggest you need to do more work. Instead of tearing the paper apart sharing this will make the reader a ltttle more confident and not self conscious of there writing.
