The text "Really Responding" surprised me in the way that Richard Straub claimed that putting forth maximum effort when peer reviewing someone else's paper could make you an even better writer. He emphasizes the importance of writing comments within the margarines and summarizing the paper in your own words. I believe that this strategy mentioned could be very helpful not only for the person who's paper your reviewing but for yourself as well. It helps the writer see how the audience would perceive their paper and what they need to work on. It helps the reviewer by enhancing their comprehension skills and applying their own comments on their own paper as well. I also believe his strategy of taking the stage of drafting in to consideration when peer reviewing could be very helpful. For example, Straub mentions how if it's a first or rough draft, try not to deal with all the editing at once but instead focus on the large picture like the focus, content and writer. I myself have peer reviewed numerous papers in the past. It hasn't always been a positive experience, only because my past intructors never gave much helpful insight on how to properly review so I never put forth maximum effort which was unfair to the writers of the pieces. This article was extremely helpful to me and I will be utilizing some of these methods from here on out when peer reviewing.

I agree that these methods are helpful, and I think focusing on the writing instead of the grammar can make me a better at peer reviews.
