Really Responding
1. This text surprised me because I always thought to keep our peer reviews short and sweet for the most part. There were a couple things that I have already learned about peer reviews, so those parts weren't too surprising to me. For example, I knew not to tell the reader what they should or shouldn't write, but instead to suggest things they could do.
2. I believe these strategies could help me in the future with peer review. Two strategies in particular that stood out to me were "Do you praise or criticize or what?" and "How much you should be influenced by what you know about the writer". The criticism and praise one showed me that they are both equally important and it is not your goal to point out all the negatives in someone's paper and leave out the positives they had. The other one stood out to me because it provided examples about what you could do with certain kinds of people, because not everyone is the same when it comes to feedback and criticism with their writing. I never really considered that until after reading that passage.
3. Yes, I have done peer review in the past. In some ways, I would say it has been positive because their comments helped me to fix parts of my paper, become a better writer, and learn how to accept criticism from others. But, I feel that my past experiences with it haven't been the best that they could be. No one wants to upset others or hurt their feelings by pointing out something they might have done wrong or something that they can improve on. So I think that with most of my experiences with it, people, myself included, have held stuff back when it could have helped to improve someone's writing.
