Many people do not enjoy doing peer review although they are a necessary evil. Peer reviews are always going to be need and are always helpful in supporting a person’s paper or changing it. Some advantages with peer reviews are with the ability to have someone point out the mistakes you might not notice. The people reviewing you r paper can notice your bad writing tendencies and point them out because after awhile you sometimes don’t notice grammatical errors. When doing these exercises you take care to notice sentence length and how they put their words together. Another good thing about these reviews is that not everyone is on the same playing field in the writing sense and they can be a good learning tool to help people write better writing pieces. A bad thing about peer reviews are that they are time consuming and sometimes you just cant find anything wrong about their papers. In that case people sometimes just bull shit them about things in the paper that aren’t actually wrong and then the person gets it back and fixes things that don not need to be fixed. Another disadvantage to them is that you spend so much time looking over someone else’s paper when you really should be proofreading your own.
