The research paper is coming along okay. I still think it could be better.
When we had peer editing yesterday, I was very glad to see that another student found an "error" that I wasn't sure of when I wrote the paper. Now I know how to fix it and I'm looking forward to seeing the final draft.
I just hope I do better on it than that Great Gatsby timed writing. Curse you F. Scott Fitzgerald, your horrible book still haunts my time in AP Comp. Then again, I don't want to curse the dead, so I'll just stay unhappy with him.
:P

Haha. Definitely agree with you on this. I don't know what happened on that timed writing to me either. Peer editing is a lot of hit and miss it seems; sometimes people actually help, sometimes they do nothing, and sometimes they say how great it is and it just hurts your paper.
ReplyDeleteI have to side with Andrew on this one. The peer editing has its limits. Sometimes its really great, but then in cases when someone who doesn't care gets your paper, you get hurt with comments like, "Great, Good Start!"
