1. How did this text surprise you?
This text really did not surprise me. Usually when writing a response, I try to mimic what the teacher would writ, and would try to be short and sweet about it. I always tried to give more compliments than criticisms.
2. Do you think the strategies in this text can help in peer review? Mention two that stuck out to you and discuss your opinion on them.
Yes, there were some new strategies I learned which should be useful. For example, I usually left short and sweet comments. However, Straub said that longer comments are better, as it is constructive criticism that should be longer in order to give an adequate explanation. Also, when I peer review I would read the paper twice. However, Straub says that we should really do a quick scan, which makes more sense.
3. Have you done peer review in the past? If so, has that experience been positive or negative and why?
Yes, last year in high school I took a writing class where every single one of our papers were peer reviewed, and each student would peer review three other papers, so I was very familiar with it. The experience has been positive, because when three people would review my paper, I would get lots of helpful feedback that helped my paper.
