Peer Reviews

      Peer review for the research paper was insightful so to speak. Going into it I was already aware of what my paper was lacking and what needed editing. That being said I think it is really good to have a peer read my writing. When I was in high school so many of my peers thought that peer reviews were pointless and never took them seriously. I never really understood why, I always gave as much detail and helpful comments on a peers writing that I could. The vulnerability of giving your writing over to someone else to read is really good for a writer to do, whether you want to or not. When we were doing the peer reviews the person who was reviewing my paper asked me where my thesis was. My initial thought was that it was obvious, but then I thought more about it and made a note to myself to look at my thesis again and make sure I write it in a way in my revision so it is clear for the reader to find.
