Watching the video, What is Peer Editing and the slideshow, Peer Edit With Perfection Tutorial showed me how to edit someones' post. The video and slideshow are similar on the methods of editing a post. First, compliment them on something written in the post, and do not insult them. People respond better with positive criticism then negative. Second, make suggestions to improve the content of the paper, by suggesting they add something or take something out. And the third, is correcting any punctuation or run-on sentences. Make sure the content of the post is the same as the topic, and stay focused on the post.
Writing Peer Review Top 10 Mistakes
The video Writing Peer Review Top 10 Mistakes introduced ten mistakes you should not do while editing someones' work. Do not be pushy by making someone take your advice. Do not be loud, please be respectful to those around you. If someone has an extra space between the sentences, please do not be picky, mistakes do happen. Because you can miss a correction in editing, do not rush through it. Please do not insult the paper you are editing, your peers will become defensive. Care about editing their paper, peers can tell when you do not want to help. Stay focused on what is in front of you, not your fellow classmates behind you. Also stay focused on the review, not what you will eat for lunch. And finally when editing a peers' paper do not let it bother you when they get upset.
