Blog Post 3 What is Peer Editing?

What is peer editing and how is it useful? Peer editing is very crucial to a students academic career. Peer editing is when a student gets other students to read and edit their work. This is useful because as a student we need to be able to have our work looked at with another perspective. As students we have to realize that we are trying to help each other when we are editing each others work. People can handle constructive criticism but as an editor we have to be careful not to bash or tear down another person's work. If we use harsh comments this will discourage the writer and make them not want to fix their writing and possible keep them from writing in the future.
