Peer Review

Specifically i think peer review is a helpful step in writing a better paper. It helps the writer notice mistakes that he/she might not have seen while writing the draft. Its also a great tool to help the writer improve their paper. One way it can be improved is to make the peer review process longer. It seems to short and people do it as quickly as they can just to get it done. Some specific strengths are that it helps the writer find errors in the paper to help improve it. Something that could be considered as a weakness is that the peer review process is very short and seems its completed to just get it out of the way. I do think peer review is very helpful, but maybe get into groups of 3 that way there can be more feedback.

Patterns of Error

In my writing, i think i tend to make the mistake of wondering off the subject. Also, i might add things that are not really needed to be added just to make the paper longer. Next time while i write my draft i will work on getting the main points across first, then expanding on the subject so i can have the required length of the paper.
