Similar to how it is said that the best way to learn something new is to teach it to someone else, the best way to improve upon your own writing is to collaborate and help edit another paper, according to this article.

If someone is not able to give and receive constructive criticism in a professional manner, it would be detrimental to their work life, and peer review is one easy way to ensure a student is exposed to this setting early on.

Hoogendoorn later states that she is often approached by graduate programs asking how a student receives feedback and criticism to evaluate if they are a good fit for their program, and thanks to peer review, she is able to say good things.

As a person who is often shy in a classroom setting, being told to partner up with someone and discuss our work is something has helped me to build skills necessary for daily life as an adult in the work place

Imagine you buy a pair of tap shoes.
They're snug, and you've never taken lessons, but you love them.
You love the music you make in them.
