In any career people will challenge work and peer review back in college is what’s goings teach students how to take it and work with that criticism. Integrating peer review into college level composition classes will prove beneficial for students now and later in life. (final)

Peer review has been an essential part of college level classes and the growth of students for a long time. Students need peer review for the ability to approach a paper differently, taking criticism and turning it into a world ethic or being able to back up their own stance. (1)

Students need to be able to peer review in college settings to prepare for challenges they will face now and in the outside world. Whether it's being able to approach a paper differently, taking criticism and turning it into a work ethic, or being able to back up a stance. (12)

Challenging students’ viewpoints and seeing how they respond is vital to any composition class or even in the real world. there will be multiple circumstances that someone will challenge a proposal that the student will need to be able to provide backup and feedback for. (11)

Woodman also shows that challenge in a draft report that summerized and "highlighted each lecturer’s strengths and providing constructive criticism of any weaknesses” (Woodman). Each person observed got back a list of strengths and weaknesses that they needed to work on (10)

Students also need to know how to provide strong counterargument and back up what they are stating. In some peer review workshops the student is not looking at the syntax of the paper but more the context, can this student back up what he or she is saying (9)

Sometimes one student is better in the class than the other and the more developed students gives feedback and helps the lower student. Peer review is the basic framework for many skills needed later on in life in the workforce and in many other professional settings. (8)

He states that "the process recognizes that the sharing of professional experiences can enhance the quality of teaching and learning, provide feedback that affirms good practice.. and enhance academic staff members’ commitment to and insight into teaching” (Richard Woodman) (7)

Richard Woodman’s “The Effectiveness of Peer Review of Teaching When Preformed Between Early-Career Academics” states that starting peer review now gives students that basic understanding of taking criticism and turning it into new ideas and changing their habits. (6)

Peer review is a vital part of composition classes, it helps students with their own writing and how to focus in on one part of their paper with a peers help (5)

Rob Jenkins article“ Why We Must Get Back to Basics in Teaching Composition”, he points out that composition needs students to think about their audience and write accordingly, “opportunities for students to write for someone besides us, such as their peers ” @RobJenkins7 (4)

Peer review and should be constantly modeled and shown to them, “peer workshops can be a very important use of class time that accomplishes a number of different goals: revision, raising confidence in writing skills, giving feedback, and reading instruction" @EmilyStewartM (3)

[Kellie MacFeggan @KMacfeggan]

Emily Stewart “No, We’re Not Teaching Composition all Wrong”, she points out that peer review helps students become confident about reading and weighing on someone else’s writing, but also that “the point is for students learn how to read their own writing.” @EmilyStewartM (2)
