Reflection
The peer review was one of the most helpful exercises we have done in
class. I tend to always second guess my work, so having someone go over it, and
give me feedback, gave me some confidence in my proposal while also pointing out
some of my flaws. Most of the suggestions my peers made were purely grammatical
and style related. I tend to struggle a lot with grammar because English is not
my first language. For my food blog, I plan to go over all my post and have
them reviewed by some of my friends. Additionally, I plan to consult a grammar
book or guide to have a better background in the mechanics. Another comment was
on ambiguity; I will address this issue by trying to include more detail and
specifications in my posts. Lastly, I will focus on some of the awkwardness
some of my sentences possessed. By
trying to make the sentences more appealing, I tend to make them awkward. For
my posts, I will try to make simpler more straightforward sentences. The final
comment my peer made was about how lovely my proposal was and how you could
appreciate my passion for the topic. She also said she was looking forward to
reading my posts. This comment made me feel positive about my work, even though
I need to assess some minor problems.
Glad to hear that the peer review was helpful to you! In addition, we have some great ESL tutors at Emory. You can find more details on the ESL and Writing Center resources in the "Peer Tutoring" section of our full course syllabus.
