How I feel about peer reviews

Peer review are a good thing if done in the right manner and context. I do not like when some sets them self as a instructor and blast away. I do like constructive criticism. Constructive criticism helps me to reevaluate my paper, my thought process and come up with a better way to entice my reader and keep them interested in my paper. I feel peer review should have not only cirticims but positive aspects as well. The paper I read in not all incorrect or uninteresting there should be something positive you find when doing a review. In the past I have good review, where they were negative and positive. That information I analyzed and changed if I needed the ones that were all negative I had a difficult time taking their information to heart. Especially when you read theirs and they are full of the same errors they noted in yours. I thought to my self, maybe you should have reviewed your paper with same harness as mine. Peer review is good when done in a positive constructive manner, remember you are they to help your fellow classmate as a potential reader. By doing this you will be able to improve your writing skills and maybe help your classmate also. Always give a positive when you give a negative...it can't be all bad.
