I believe peer review is a very useful activity and can really improve grades on our papers and projects. They provide a way for students to see how they can improve without the paper actually being graded. It helps sometimes to have a fresh set of eyes to look at your paper to give yourself ideas and to see if your paper flows well. I think effective peer review occurs when their are groups of two and no more than 3. This way someone is not rushed to read your paper and can put their full attention toward it. I would like the most analysis as possible and having smaller groups will help that. I also feel that one class dedicated to peer review would be for the best for the class as a whole. By giving an entire class period you allow students to peer review effectively. I also think it dose not matter if students pick their groups or not. I think students put the same amount effort into everyone papers. By having a friend do it you know they will try but a random person may provide insight that you and a friend may not think of. But either way I think peer review will be fine either way. Peer reviewers should look for grammatical and mechanical errors but they should focus on the structure and how the paper flows. I want to mainly know if I am headed in the right direction or if there are any major corrections I need to make.
