When we asked to read two or three of our peer's essays it was more effective. We read our essays out loud, and then made comments what we thought was right or wrong. Also one interesting thing for a bigger group was that we all had same essay topics. And after discussing it, some un-understandable and unclear points became more reasonable to think about improving a paper. However, doing peer review in small group is okay too. Reading alone you make more accurate judgments. If you see other student’s mistakes it might be helpful for you not to make same mistake in your paper. My strength is to find in others writing statement of purpose, and if they don’t have one clear statement of purpose, I try to give an idea to look it over and make it clear because it is important part of essays. My weakness is I try not to be too mean and rude while making comments. We are not really close to each other to make very harsh comments.
However, a peer review is interesting process. It might be helpful but I don’t consider it very helpful process.
