Peer review sample:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VJ94Kbrtucqa_kIN53uvRTSu0TnrtgbPoGzbjM8Rg-k/edit In Abby’s paper, at the beginning, in reference to her introduction paragraph, I made the positive criticism that her thesis was made clear. I feel as if this was helpful to her because she would be able to know for sure that she was getting her main point across that she would be referencing throughout the entirety of her essay. I then referenced a spelling error because I felt that it hindered the readers understanding of her…

For example we would find a reference to race in the song and explain how it was a reference to race and the sociological connotations associated with that concept. I peer reviewed a classmates paper by first reading their song, then reading…

Throughout the semester, I have developed my active reading skills into something I am prouder of and something in which I can use to help me with my other classes. It helps me to more fully understand the text that I am working with through wrestling with the ideas and summarizing concepts in my own words. This summarizing helps me to remember what I have learned while reading the text because writing topics down uses muscle memory to encode information…

I also suggested for him to make his thesis statement clearer as…

Written on March 20th: To improve my draft, I could include information from authors studied during the happiness section of class in order to further build the conversation I create within my writing, as well as to support or refute the claims that I make about happiness from my own life. An author that I was thinking of was Catherine Sanderson and her Science of Happiness Ted talk. I believe that would be the best choice because her talk encompasses…

The active reading skill of highlighting important information as well as summarizing the information that is difficult to grasp in my own words has helped me extensively in my anatomy class. It has helped me to understand the textbook chapters assigned for homework in a deeper manner, as well as commit them to memory better. A lot of the topics in Anatomy are processes with many steps and it helps to step back from the reading to really chew on…
