Peer Reviews

Through all of the years of English classes and writing papers there is something that I have not caught onto until now. I did not realize the effectiveness of peer review when writing a paper. For years it was something that I did just because I was told I needed to have it reviewed by someone else. The truth of the matter is that a peer review is essential to the success of any document that is being written. This is something that hit me as we reviewed each other's briefing articles this last week. I received a huge amount of input regarding how my paper can be effectively designed and altered to fit the requirements of this paper. I am definitely going to implement some of the suggestions that were given. I realized the amount of success I could have had in the past if I would have taken peer reviews more seriously. 

My goal is to perfect how I go about peer reviews in the future. I am majoring in public relations and writing effective documents is going to be a critical part of this degree and of a job in this particular field. Perfecting my process for obtaining a peer review is going to be of major benefit to my success throughout the rest of my degree and in my future career. I truly appreciate the input that I have received from all of my classmates and I appreciate the lesson that I have learned from the effective reviews they have provided.
