Most adults have provided and received feedback at some point, either at work, school, or home. In an educational environment, when students give each other feedback, it is known as peer reviewing. Peer reviewing, as defined in the Discussion Assignment reading, is an exchange of feedback on students' assignments. An example of peer reviewing that you have experienced in prior units of this course is when a peer responded to your Discussion post with positive feedback (e.g., what he or she liked about your ideas) or constructive feedback (e.g., which ideas need further development). This exchange of feedback can have both a positive and negative impact on the person receiving the criticism.
Think about your experiences with receiving and giving feedback through peer reviewing and respond to the following prompts:
1) Describe your experiences with peer reviewing, including situations that were positive and situations that were not as positive
2) How does peer reviewing at school compare to giving/receiving feedback outside of school, such as at work, home, or even on the Internet (e.g., posting a comment to a video you watched)?
3) Describe the type of feedback that you find helpful when going through the peer review process
4) How do you typically respond to receiving feedback? What actions do you generally take based on the feedback you receive?
