The Peer Editing assignment that was assigned this week, i thought to be very helpful in writing the history research paper. In other courses that i have taken, like in high school i had found that the peer editing another's paper was somewhat helpful, but not completely necessary. I thought that it was good to get a second person's oppinion on my paper and for it to be checked for grammatical and spelling errors that were not noticable to my own eyes, but I also thought that was the extend of a peer edit for a paper. What i liked about this peer edit assignment was that we had a checklist of all the things to look for and it was a very thorough editing. The highlighting and circling of certain objects was really helpful for that all the corrections made on the paper did not all look the same, and it was easy to distinguish the different corrections made. It was also helpful to see what the professor would have looked for on her own if she were grading your paper. I thought it was a very useful excersize.
