Peer reviews

Hi Everyone
What do I feel about peer reviews? Is the question of the week?
Well I do not have a problem with someone reviewing my paper for the simple reason that, when someone else reviews your paper they may catch some things that you may have missed; which would help you get a better grade. And actually you do not have to take their advice if you do not want to after all it is their opinion, and ideas. When I review someone’s paper I make sure that; I am honest because telling someone that their paper is good and in order when it is not, is not the right thing to do in order to help them with their paper it is deceitful. I would give comments that are based more on facts and that are directly related to the paper and not so personally opinionated. I also try to make sure I am not being offensive. I do realize that the writer has put a lot of time and energy and research into their paper. And I would not try to take that away from them. In this class it was the first time that any writing that I have written has been reviewed by my peers before being checked by the teacher. Not a bad experience but why is it that the subject of the bible is so offensive to some people?
