Giving feedback
What I focused on
I was paying close attention to grammar, organization, and visual components while giving input to some of my classmates because these are some of the things, I constantly check for in my own work to help myself develop. Revision by classmates or other people after work is completed is beneficial when attempting to make changes to something you may have missed on your own. Receipts can be neutral, good, or negative, and one may not always get the response they would have preferred. While there are many methods to provide feedback, I usually think that individuals attempt to hide their true thoughts and just offer the more positive aspects, leaving the recipient with few options for how to actually improve their work.
As a peer reviewer
I would rate myself a 6.5 out of 10 as a peer reviewer because I didn't think I provided enough insightful criticism beyond pointing out visual components and suggesting that others use more quotes in their work. In my opinion, providing feedback is preferable to either not providing any at all or not receiving any at all, as it avoids putting the recipient in the dark about whether their work should be improved or left alone. Later into the course I would like to improve my peer reviewing skills by being able to provide more constructive feedback that will better help those who are receiving said feedback and thus actually help them crate an improved version of their work. While peer reviewing, I also felt that some of the most helpful comments where those on improving visual elements such as adding pictures and other elements to make the works look organized and well developed, I also suggested on another work to think about adding more quotes and elaborate more on their opinion about their work. As I gave feedback, I also received some useful feedback such as implementing more quotes into my work, adding a few more pictures and elaborate on some of my ideas more.
