I don't know about anyone else but I was hoping that the in-class peer reveiw would have been more helpful to us in our papers. I know that for me it was hard to evaluate someone elses work when I had not read their article. I think maybe it would have been a little eaiser to do if we would have been given a partner at the beginning of the assignment and given a copy of the article that they were responding to so that we had some idea of why they wrote the kind of letter to the editor that they did. In order to be more objective with their style or the reason that they mentioned, or didn't mention alot of detail. I also think that it is hard for some to be critical in their responses because they are afraid that they will hurt someones feelings. Realizing that evaluation skills are something that we will need throughout our lifetimes maybe we just need to have a little more practice and disscussion on the process of evaluation.
