I had mixed feelings when it came to the peer assessments. I liked the fact that we were split into small groups so it allowed more time to focus on another person’s paper, which gave more time to thoroughly think through the comments, which should have allowed for better feedback on the paper. The one thing I didn’t like was the way that the questions were set up. I was really looking forward to getting feedback on how I could make my paper better because being a rough draft I knew it wasn’t my best work. Instead the feedback that I received was basically a one sentence yes or no answer to the question that really didn’t help me in a positive or negative way. I think that maybe using the word comment function and actually submitting the paper back to the person would help a lot so that you could see exactly what parts people liked and what parts need more clarification and improvement would be very helpful.
The assessments didn’t really give me any feedback in a positive or negative manner so I am not exactly sure how I am going to use them to further revise my paper. I know that being a rough draft this wasn’t exactly my best work and I know I can improve for my final draft but I am not exactly sure how to. I wish I would have been giving negative feedback so that I know what I could improve on. I think in an online forum it should be easier to give negative remarks because you don’t actually have to see the person.
