- Doing the peer review projects not only helped the person whose paper I edited, but it also helped me in a lot of ways as well. If I found something wrong on the other person’s paper I would go back and look at my paper to see if I happened to have the same mistakes as they did. It helped me a lot to see what the other person found wrong with my paper because some of the errors were stupid mistakes that I should have been able to catch myself, but I didn’t. It also made me have to read the other person’s paper over again to make sure that I couldn’t find any other mistakes, and it also gave me a chance to see what their research was about.
- I feel as if I am right on track with my paper. I am very excited about it right now, and just can’t wait to finish it. I realized that I sometimes repeated information in my paper that I of course had to change and it made my paper sound a lot better once I fixed it. Before we did the peer review I felt as if I was behind with my paper and getting my results, but once I read someone’s paper other than my own I felt relieved because I now feel like I am right on track and right where I should be with everything.
