Peer revision

One of the main things that helped me this semester the most with my writing was peer revision. Peer revision helped me because when you spend a lot of time writing a paper sometimes you miss small things and even big things. So with peer revision you have a new pair of eyes to go back over your paper so they can catch the problems. Also peers can give you good advice on how to improve your paper so it is good to have them too look over your paper even if you feel it is complete. The time I can remeber that I was so thankful for the peer review was when I was writing the beginning of my research paper I had a friend in class look at it and they helped me a lot. They helped me understand where I needed to take my paper as in who my audience should be and how I should approach it. Writing is a process and I think that one of the most important things about it is getting feedback from your potential audience and peers. When writing I will always get peer advice because I know the importance of having someone elses point of view. I think that peer revision was one of the most impotant things that I gained knowledge about this semester.
