Will he or she actually care about your paper, or will they scribble dreck on your draft and brand it, \u201cconstructive feedback\u201d? In either case, you\u2019ll need to both dish and take some <a href=\"http:\/\/writing.wisc.edu\/Handbook\/PeerReviews.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">peer edit criticism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some tips, tricks, and coping mechanisms with which to survive this godawful period of red-pennery:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If a friend edits your paper, they\u2019re not likely to level any harsh criticism or note necessary revisions. In fact, an anonymous peer review is a fantastic, more honest alternative!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When editing a paper, let your revisions take the form of short, honest comments. No arguing allowed!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It\u2019s a good idea to develop a <a href=\"http:\/\/owl.english.purdue.edu\/owl\/resource\/690\/01\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">standard peer editing strategy<\/a>. However, before you make specific edits, make sure the paper has:\n<ul>\n<li>A clear thesis statement that makes an informed argument.<\/li>\n<li>Well-articulated, concrete support for the argument.<\/li>\n<li>Commentary, evidence of independent thought, and effective transitions between paragraphs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If there are holes in their argument, don\u2019t use up all of your editorial chewing gum to plug them up! Make notations of these logical inconsistencies and continue reading.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Remember that it\u2019s not your job to re-write a terrible paper. Major overhauls are best done by the paper\u2019s author!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When your classmate returns your paper to you, remember that their comments are not meant to be personal attacks on your psyche. If they wanted to attack your psyche, they\u2019d tell you that your jeans were too tight. worried about your health ? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riverfronttimes.com\/newsblog\/2020\/07\/27\/5-best-testosterone-boosters-of-2020\">check these supplements<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While peer editing is designed to give you a \u201csecond pair of eyes\u201d in your writing process, it\u2019s difficult to measure your editor\u2019s skills and biases.
