Class on Wednesday had one of the more successful peer review sessions I have participated in. I am glad we had two people look at our paper, because I received two very different perspectives. Both liked the style I approached the paper with, which I was very glad about. I was worried since I used a very narrative style, and less technical, that it would not be responded to as well. Whitney gave very helpful comments on what more I could add to my paper (and I need to add a little more, because I'm just about to get the fourth full page).
I also realize why Jackie was so non-descriptive on how we were to write the paper. Each paper I looked at was completely different, and both were different from my own. This allowed us to bring forth our own style and interpretation of how to describe our findings. I would have guessed the essays were for different assignments because of how distinctly different they were. I'm sure every paper in the class is distinct from every other, which will make reading them much more interesting for Jackie!
Overall, I think the review session went very well, and I look forward to working with my peers on the next paper. One issue that bothers me is that we were not able to compare our different results. On our assignment it said we would be able to talk as a group and find out how the professors differed. I think this would be an interesting discussion, and I hope we still get the chance to do it.
